I think I read the TV thing as "people think everyone wants stupid violent entertainment, but really we're all Muppet fans at heart." And the Muppet ethic isn't simpler or more wholesome really-- it's weirder and more meta and more over-the-top than a lot of children's programming, and people have always gotten shot out of cannons, and the romantic relationships have always been complicated, and Sesame Street was one of the first kids' programs to have a character die when the actor did. Their real advantage is that they're smart and inclusive and immensely caring and they give the audience credit. Going Muppet is about putting on the Ritz and still inviting Hobo Joe.

I thought Fozzy didn't sound quite right, though. I hadn't heard about Frank Oz and was too distracted by the music to watch the credits. So I also missed Bret McKenzie's credit. Yay for him!
