The Muppet Show, Season One on DVD.

silly? yes. sentimental? yes. hilarious? YES!

if you were pre-10-years-old back in the mid-70′s when this show came out, this was one of the best shows on TV. i mean, sure, we had sesame street, but you didn’t get this kind of nutso humor there!

a typical exchange:

-That was wonderful!

- Bravo!

- I loved that!

- Ah, that was great!

- Well, it was pretty good.

- Well, it wasn’t bad …

- Uh, there were parts of it that weren’t very good though.

- It could have been a lot better.

- I didn’t really like it.

- It was pretty terrible.

- It was bad.

- It was awful!

- It was terrible!

- Terrible, way!

- Bah, boo!

- Boo!
