Sesame Street is awful any more anyway. Should be called Socialist Street. It’s the kind of painfully boring stuff a kid would have to sit through in a Head Start program. Believe it or not, kids managed to learn shapes, letters, and colors before we had all this education professor produced tedium.
It has dumbed down generations of Americans. Now, Mr. Rogers was a real innovator. He introduced shows that are mirrored today - How Things Work, Dirty Jobs, etc. All the while acting and speaking like an adult.
