I think folks are writing more into this than is there, they got a CNN guy to be a guest star and wrote a parody story line around it.
Have you ever watched Sesame Street? If not, I suggest you go catch some of their “MONSTERPIECE THEATER” skits, they are great parodies that kids laugh at for one reason and adults do for an entirely different one.
Sadly SS has lost a lot of its edge from when it started 30+ years ago in that area, and especially since Henson died (but that’s the muppets in general) but I am not getting jumping ugly at a Sesame Street parodies.
I’m just looking for my little black puppy.
