I'm a nostalgic person so I was psyched to see the original sesame street episodes are now available on DVD. I haven't seen the show in a while and the last skit I was so awesome, I actually hunted it down and embedded it.
I was sure the show would be cancelled by now due to the modeling of such potentially unhealthy lifestyles. I think marriage is about love and commitment so I would never begrudge Bert and Ernie their union, however cookie monster portrays a binge and purge lifestyle. Also, do I want my kid to think going Goth is extra cool because The Count lives that way?
"Tickle Me" Elmo isn't the best role model either, maybe they could upgrade him to a "Good Touch Bad Touch" Elmo in order to help kids the way Arthur Fonzerelli helped us all when I was a kid.
I have to sign off now so I can set up my DVR for a series recording.
