As a kid i grew up on 2 shows; Barney & Sesame street. Looking back on my childhood I wish I could've given barney a huge kick in the You-know-where for giving me the wrong ideas about life, and given all of sesame street a hug for teaching me how to count, spell, and yes, even get excited over a girl (i'll explain that later)
If you were a child of the early 90s like me, you were lucky; you got sesame street as it was about to go under the toilet. The arrival of elmo and competing Television Programs for children. My luck allowed me to watch episodes filmed in the 80s, including segments from the 80s and before. Some memorable ones like the "who wants to make an (insert letter here)? Me!" segments and the bert & ernie bits.
I mentioned before how sesame street taught me how to get excited over a girl? Yeah, the "Froggy goes a kickin'" segment is guilty. I don't know what all your fantasies are, but seeing a woman underneath the surface of a pool, seemingly swimming with a frog (or any aquatic being for that matter) causes this guy to lose his control.
Sesame street now? i have a few suggestions.
1, Get elmo out! I swear, the only reason elmo is on the TV is because parents need something to entertain their kids for a half hour, and to rake in the green, in the form of the Tickle me elmo, which has been blown up, shot and burned more times than we dare to count.
2, Cookie monster has apparently become the veggie monster now. please, bring him back to cookies. if he wants to get diabetes that's his problem.
3, make the show like it originally was. like watching a story with educational commercials and skits thrown in. it's like a good visual salad.
Bottom line, sesame street used to be the reason children were so good in the early days. now it's just a cash grab.
