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.

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.
