One Reason Old School Sesame Street Kicks Ass

[1369]

This

I weep for today's youth.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

That was actually pretty kickass.

Did you read where the producers of SS are saying the early shows aren't suitable for children?

And it doesn't need to be said, but Stevie Wonder kicks ass.

[mookie2001]

id rather listen to percy sledge, marvin gaye, the impressions or lionel richie

[leemajors]

they mix in the old clips on the new episodes, i catch the BB King clips every once in a while watching with my daughter. it's still a great show for kids to watch.

Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, The Electric Company, Mr. Wizard, 3-2-1 Contact vs. Barney & Friends, The Teletubbies, The Wiggles.

I feel sorry for my younger sisters.

No doubt. I'm a child of the 70's and seeing clips like this one, or bits from The Electric Company (perhaps even moreso), can prove that sometimes having a lot of options (like today) isn't always a great thing.

Celebrities used to beg to be on Sesame Street and get turned down! Muppet show, as well.

Yo Gabba Gabba?

LMAO! I can't count how many times I saw Cookie Monster eat his pipe on Monsterpiece Theater. Lots of stuff I grew up watching is garbage (Transformers for example), but that was a badass show and is still good when I look back at it 20-25 years later.

And even then, with proper parenting, what's the harm?

I can see the one about not wanting your kid to follow some random adult for milk and cookies though.

If I had done a load of mind altering drugs and had zero musical taste, I would probably agree with that.

[mookie2001]

youre not down with electric lucifer?

[1369]

I can say with complete honesty I had never heard of Bruce Haack until you posted his name.

Did the required Google and YouTube viewing, and it does pique my interest.

I do not, however, rescind my previous snarky comment.

[mookie2001]

him and robert moog basically invented a genre, they knew they were making future music

they got scoffed back in the day too

human league too

And today's youth is exactly the kind of stupid people that would actually do that.
