I'm not sure the Muppet Show was that; the very setting was a behind the scenes look at the operation of a live variety show of yesteryear, and iirc everything fit into that theme?

I was coming at this a little differently. Imagine that there's 75 jokes in the show. Muppets would maybe distribute them like:

- 25 for adults - 25 for kids - 25 site gags for toddlers

And media now is like: that should be 3 separate shows.
