Never saw that show. Heard it's some sort of nerd-sploitation series, but I could change my mind.
At any rate, the movie is a musical that's very self aware of itself. This is a huge source of the comedy.
I'm surprised a lot of people here never got exposed to muppets as kids. I always thought the standard progression was to watch Sesame Street and "graduate" to the Muppets later on, especially since back then Kermit was on both shows regularly as some sort of straight man ambassador. Then, considering just how very many movies they had from the 80s through the 90s, I'd think everyone here had seen some of them.
I mean, consider humble Mr. Bimble, a man who lives in Fozzie's finger in Muppet Treasure Island. From the point of that revelation on, his advice is considered suspect.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
