Sesame Street Isn't For Kids

Funny, I always thought it was for kids.  Then again, for some reason I never liked it much when I was the target age group.  About the only things I liked from Sesame Street was those weird aliens, Super Grover (only when he was super) Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch. 

Ok, those are still the only things I like about Sesame Street, but apparently the people releasing the first season of Sesame Street to DVD don't feel the same way.  Apparently there are too many instances of irresponsible behavior in the earlier episodes of Sesame Street that can simply lead our children astray.  I mean, of course Cookie Monster is to blame for our trouble with childhood obesity.  Of course Big Bird was clearly deranged since he could see the invisible Snuffleupagus.  Thank heavens I was never a fan or I would be traumatized too.

Yeesh.  People really need to get lives.

I'm just waiting for them to take away Yosemite Sam's shotgun and hide the dynamite sticks from Wile E. Coyote.

    The only one that probably does make sense to cut out is when a little girl goes home with a "nice" man for cookies and milk. Sheesh. Wouldn't it be nice if you could still do that as a kid? World's gone crazy, man.

      I agree.  On the one hand, there's too much PC stuff going on.  On the other hand, the world is making so that you need to be PC to avoid trouble.
