It always surprises me how many people these days don't know the Muppets properly.
I suppose it's my age, but "The Muppet Show" was one of the formative influences throughout my growing up, and I can still quote numerous sketches (More than I can say, something like Monty Python), and know the words to a worryingly large number of the songs they used.
I thoroughly recommend Scooter's rather touching "Six String Orchestra" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ2NzUc5Vek) for encouragement when things seem tough and Gonzo's brilliant "Jamboree" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNcM25UsOpI) if I feel the need for a quick burst of nutty positivity at short notice.
It's been so long since I've seen these sketches--but some of them are still half-floating around in my brain. I need to check them out on YouTube again. Watching them always takes me back to conversations in the cloak room in grade school--for some reason I remember a lot of "Did you see the Muppet Show last night?" conversations taking place there!

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
