Did you see the Sesame Street episode of Dinner Impossible? It was kinda cute.

Little kids still love the show and that is what matters most.

Seems like you skipped a few lessons about growing up, huh?

Sesame Street! God I wish my kid would watch Sesame Street. My 4 year old son loves Power Rangers a little too much.

/Parenthood is about learning to appreciate the little things that you thought you were to cool for as a kid.

Teeny Little Super Guy
That typewriter-on-wheels dude
The "Yip Yip Yip" aliens

Feed Elmo to Snuffleupagus, and bury his shiat next to Mr. Hooper, and have Bob and Gordon take turns urinating on it

We own SS 1969-1979 on DVD. It actually contains parental warnings.

pounddawg: We own SS 1969-1979 on DVD. It actually contains parental warnings.

That's par for the course now, although probably completely unnecessary on Sesame Street. I have a Popeye set and the third Tom and Jerry set, and they each have the same kind of warning.

Anyone else seen the google logo with Big Bird Legs??

//Happy Birthday, Sesame Street!

40 yrs? Dang. I remember that first year of the show. My mom turned the channel and said "Here's a new show you might like."

And I dug it.

\You can stay on my lawn, I don't mind

WhyteRaven74: paging TMS, TMS please report to the Sesame Street threada

Sad to say my kid has moved on to Yo Gabba Gabba. She gets to meet the whole gang when we do the show in LA next week.

I hope to hip her to the muppets again soon.

My mother did exactly the same thing.

It really bugs the hell outta me that the ones who are making these decisions grew up watching these shows.

It's not that the people who did that wanted to. It's just that some of the old stuff has things that are no longer considered appropriate to a pre-school audience.

Some of the early Muppets smoked cigarettes, drank booze etc.

Also, fear of modeling (children enacting behavior they see on TV shows) is a huge issue for this type of programming. All the kids shows are endlessly checked for possible problems.

I can tell you that the decision to put the warning label on the DVD's was not an easy one for the folks at Sesame Street and no one loves that show more than the people who create it.

I heard that it also had something to do with the show originally being focused on kids about 8 years old, as opposed to its current target audience of preschoolers.

ahh... 1970s Sesame street... with the grit and matted fur. When the muppets had character instead of being sanitized.

Times have changed, and Sesame Street has to compete with a lot of newer, more commercial shows, but these clips represent the show at its best. It still has its moments of greatness.

You got that right. I loved it, my 2 preschoolers won't even look at it. All its charm has evaporated.

I wasn't there at the dawn of Sesame Street. I was there when it was on Farkin' N-E-T (new window).

Sesame Street pushed children into being gay by showing men living together while constantly having fists up their butt

it's about time this show stopped pushing it's gay agenda. there were almost no gays before Sesame Street

Very cool (new window)

I know you're trolling, but growing up I didn't even THINK about that. I can't imagine what, if any, kid asked their parents about the logistics of Bert and Ernie living together.

WienerButt
back then you thought about it subconciously. Now you think about it conciously.

Thanks to the count, I learned to count to 12.

God, I can't wait till I have 1,2, 2 kids and they start to watch the awesomeness which is Sesame Street

/Ah ah ah ah

I caught the show a couple of times a year or two ago, hoping for some nostalgia, but it was awful. The whole second half was "the Elmo show," and that anoying bastard was in much of the first half as well. I read that the programme was re-tooled for a younger crowd, barely able to speak.

Cookie Monster decided that "cookies are a sometimes food"; Elmo replaced Grover (meanwhile, no new hottie has unseated the antiquated Maria); Oscar's not an a-hole anymore; Bert killed off Mr. Hooper; there's no Don Music bashing his head into the piano; inter alia.

As with anything, there have been a few bright moments.
