All of the old stuff is not really as good as we remember it...
"The earliest episodes of Sesame Street are being made available on DVD, but the NYT notes Volumes 1 and 2 carry a rather strange warning: 'These early 'Sesame Street' episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child.' So why are they unsuitable for toddlers in 2007? Well, in the parody 'Monsterpiece Theater,' Alistair Cookie ? played by Cookie Monster ? used to appear with a pipe, which he later gobbled. 'That modeled the wrong behavior,' explained a Sesame Street executive producer, adding that 'we might not be able to create a character like Oscar [the Grouch] now.'"
Also stuff in it like a young girl crying on the side of the street and some strange old man invites the 6 year old into his house for milk and cookies.....
I think you might wanna screen that episode before you show your children.
On a positive note, I just got all the "Fraggle Rock" espisodes for my kids. Talk about a show ahead of its time, there are sooooo many "inuendos" in it that fly right over children and right into the parents, it very similar to the way they do the "Shrek", "Cars" movies these days.. Really is interesting watching for both parents and kids..
