If you don’t know how to get to Sesame Street you will soon at least be able to have its characters featured on your mail. The U.S. Postal Service announced this week that they have created a line of stamps honoring the show’s 50th anniversary.

The federal agency called Sesame Street, “one of the most influential and beloved children’s television shows,” according to a statement.

“For the last 50 years, it has provided educational programming and entertainment for generations of children throughout the country and around the world,” the statement said.

The United States Postal Service released a sheet of 37-cent First Class postage stamps in September, 2005, honoring Jim Henson and the Muppets. The Henson stamp featured a 1986 photograph by Norman Seeff. The photos on the Muppet stamps were commissioned specifically for the set of stamps.

The ten Muppet stamps featured Kermit the Frog, Sam the Eagle, Statler and Waldorf, Animal, Rowlf the Dog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, the Swedish Chef, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, and Gonzo and Camilla. The back of each Muppet stamp featured the character’s signature and a quotation from them about stamps or mail. Each of these quotations were written by Jim Lewis.[1]

I want my stamps to have dead presidents and U.S. flags on them.

Have you seen Sesame Street lately? It is NOT the show you remember from your childhood.

The lead, now, is Elmo, who has a serious speech and grammar impediment (he's the one teaching kids how to talk,) along with a cast of homosexual-acting weenies.

"Mr Pickles," (if that was his name,) a sort of an archetypal gay-bar sissy homosexual, actually died of AIDS a few years ago.

It is decidedly low-budget stuff, jam-packed with green-screen nonsense, largely devoid of the complex messaging you remember, and UNSUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.

Mr. Noodle, the homosexual actor now deceased (AIDS,)

Just your average guy who invites his brother over to play with kids alone in their house.

Nothing worrisome about that!



Sesame Street writers know best.

I used to work in public TV in another life and I usually saw pieces of most of the shows on the PBS satellite channels.

One afternoon, I caught a skit called Special Letters Unit and it was a good and sensible parody of Special Victims Unit. Right down to the “chung-chung” sound.

The original (and best) version of Manah Manah.
