I can’t define why I think the Muppets are so good, but they are.

While both drugs and Monopoly (the board game, not the economic domination) have utility (relieving symptoms, transfer of wealth to Milton-Bradley) and are therefore good in some sense, I prefer the Muppets, which have no definable utility other than fun.
Maybe fun is another unique category of goodness?

I had a free thrill because I was expecting this, which is more or less a personal anthem. But Muppets are always good, too.

During these challenging times of economic dep- oh, I mean recession we do need the fun and frivolous. Does this signal a return of the Busby Berkeley musical?
