There are 45 years of Sesame Street episodes recorded. That’s enough to start rerunning them, and the five year old won’t care.
Besides, I am sure Gordon and Mr. Hooper were better than whoever they have now.
I would rather have had my kid watch Captain Kangaroo on youtube than that sesame street crap.
As I learned recently. Sesame Street was started in 1968 or 1969.
My twins and I watch ones from mid 80’s on YouTube. They don’t care, and no Elmo.
