Great show when it first started. One of the best characters was Roosevelt Franklin. A black puppet who would take over the class when the teacher left the room. He would sing the lesson for his fellow students. But all of a sudden he was gone. And the was the start if political correctness on sesame st.
Too bad. There was nothing wrong with the Roosevelt segment. The puppet was dang intelligent. Should have not changed the show. Went downhill from there! Sad

Sesame Street is what taught parents to be lazy and let the TV babysit (read: indoctrinate) the kids, while parents, free from the burden of supervising them, pursued jobs out of necessity and adult interests out of their own selfishness. Kids were soon switching channels to more seductive programming as parents noticed and cared less or not at all. Look at "disadvantaged" youth today--purportedly the beneficiaries of the great Sesame Street legacy--who "graduate" without basic reading/math skills, short attention spans, and nonexistent respect for others. SS was no match for the real damage done by the welfare system.

I have a theory that Sesame Street was behind the sudden appearance of ADHD and ADD in the 80’s. The show presented “education” in very short and entertaining skits which kids got accustomed to. Then, when they went off to school, they were expected to sit still in a desk for 45 minutes to an hour at a time and absorb information that was no longer entertaining. So they got bored, then restless, then started acting up and became problem children. The medical community’s solution was, of course, drugs.

I've always referred to it as, "Socialist Street."

I liked Sesame Street when it first began - it's insufferable now. But for good, entertaining and learning give me Captain Kangaroo any time. I owe my love of reading to him.

My favorite memory is Oscar the Grouch calling Elmo a little red menace. This was way back in the late 80’s.

My younger brother and I were Captain Kangaroo kids as toddlers, and that gave my mother a blessed half-hour to get ready for her day (mostly). That was our televiewing for the day. By the time Sesame Street came along, we were a shade old, but as a school librarian, Mom always was a little suspicious of it as she didn’t think the SS-trained kids coming into her school had benefited much from its “educating”, except for some kids (and there were a lot of them) who got absolutely nothing else, meaning no books, no reading with parents, at home. Sad.
