Re: has sesame street out lived it's usefulness?
has it gotten that bad? no more skits of them trying to fix a TV together?
I was flipping channels and came across a random episode. the one skit was of hansel and grettel trying to find their way back to big birds nest. it wasn't horrible...but it had no.....uhmph to it. it was just...get the point across three or for times...nothing more. where as with a classic kermit skit, jim and the others ad libbed plenty.....and threw in a few adult jokes while they where at it to keep the parents entertained.
skits like this, for instance....
'it's not easy being green....' ' yeah, you noticed, huh?'
I love sesame street. But the problems are far worse than the red menace (Elmo).
The characters have become brands, rather than characters. They are simply logos used for whatever purpose. Gone are the days where Bert and Ernie showed us that best friends didn't always like each other.
