I’ve always thought that Dr. Seuss is creepy too. Totalinarism, and BTW, don’t tell your mother. (Cat in the Hat)

Would love to hear your analysis of Bert and Ernie... ;)

Cheers!

My Sesame Street days were 1976-1984. I loved them all, but I must admit that my favourite was “The Count”.

Even now, I can hear the music...counting, counting!

There was certainly a “diversity” message even back then, but it was not the strident rhetoric that kids are bombarded with today. I really don’t think little kids that age can get the message unless it is enforced by the parents, but my PBS carried Sesame at 4:30 p.m. every afternoon and that was “making supper” time, and that is why I know the songs more than the characters. I was in the kitchen cooking and could only listen!
