As an adult who grew up on sesame street and the muppets, it's just the unabashed wholesomeness that I love. They were preaching inclusivity when I was growing up in a time/place that tried to force conformity. They weren't cool, they were themselves, and that's never a bad message for kids (or adults).
The newer movie (The Muppets 2011), co-written by Jason Segal, who also grew up with The Muppets, captures that vibe perfectly IMHO.
Jason Segal is awesome
I will look for and watch that movie to see what you're talking about!
