With the world descending into madness and chaos beginning to creep into all aspects of our lives, it's always nice to have a diversion at hand. A little while ago I wrote of a discovery that made me very happy. I'm proud to say that not only has it's time come, but also that I am now making use of said discovery.

Ladies and Gentlemen it's The Muppet Show ... Yaaaayyy!!

Having had my fill of repetitive blathering about the storm blasted gulf states and rapidly climbing gas prices, I got this little beauty in and am addicted all over again. Not that the hurricane fallout isn't a tragedy, but the media is full of idiots who are focusing on the same 4 things all day, every day. One can only take so much idiocity after putting their money down at the Red Cross. It's everything I wanted and more.


I had actually forgotten that the very first episode contained the comedic genius of Mahna Mahna! It's fuzzy green and yellow case contains the antidote to today's stupidity and soul sucking reality. I've been reveling in my heroes Statler and Waldorf, reconnecting with my culinary side through the Swedish Chef and just soaking up the humour.

For those who've never seen the Muppets, I pity you and recommend that if you don't purchase this boxed set, that you at least find a place to rent or borrow it. This is what television needs more of today. Not people conniving and outscheming each other in a bid to win money on "reality" TV shows. Not more rehashed sitcoms that try to be funny despite bland writing and tepid acting. Not dramas with wooed actors and transparent plots.

Bring back the Muppets!!

Sadly this is likely never to happen, so in the meantime I'll just curl up with the first season and wait impatiently for the rest of them to be released. Personally I think I'd probably watch more news if it was anchored by Sam the Eagle.
