Oh hell yeah. Of course they did. I mean, have you ever thought to yourself, who in the right mind would make a puppet as hideous as the Cookie Monster?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, tweheheeeelve! F**kin' pinball. Really screwed up my youth.

Grace Slick was the one who used to sing that when it first came out so it wouldn't suprise me if acid was involved lol.

You were around in 1969? You're old.

I believe the article was referring to old sesame Streets in general. Not just the ones in '69.

I was thinking of ones between '69, & 89.

Back then — as on the very first episode, which aired on PBS Nov. 10, 1969 — a pretty, lonely girl like Sally might find herself befriended by an older male stranger who held her hand and took her home.

Sesame Street used to teach kids things, now it's social engineering.

Look all around you. Everything is. It's all constructed to keep people in a certain mind set. It all starts at a young age now days.

KERA's is sponsored mostly by the government. I think that in itself speaks volumes.

I've always wondered what exactly were we suppose to learn from Cookie Monster, "this is what a fiend looks like"? And what about Oscar; "kids, this is what happens when you have a ****ed up life"?

The animated shorts on Sesame Street were all basically acid trips. The animators were obviously creative, yet on something at the same time. Remember this one?



WTF? That **** is not normal. That is NOT normal.

LmAO. Glad, I'm not the only one who thought that. When I used to watch this is a child I used to think,"Um, what the heck?"

 

[The Lizard]

As a wee lad, I always liked it when Cookie Monster ate inedible objects. "Grom -nom-nom-nom-nom!"

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

see this is the stuff i laugh about today's kids are going to grow up and be a bunch of ***** whipped wimps.

we all watched this sort of stuff, we played out side, we had competitions in school and guess what people lost and told to try harder next time.


if we dont destroy ourselves we're gonna end up that crappy world in demolition man with no sex, no violence and basically no fun

 

[jaguarr]

I'm glad the old Sesame Streets are out on DVD so I can make them available for my child to watch when I have one, rather than the PC social-engineering garbage they produce now. Cookie Monster was made to be FUNNY to kids, and he was! My brother and I always thought he was a gluttonous spaz, but he made us laugh. We didn't want to go out and start eating cookies like him. Who's the genius that decided Cookie Monster taught kids how to eat nothing but junk food? Kids are much smarter than all these "child experts" give them credit for.

Now he eats vegetables.

My sister made the joke years ago before people started saying it, that when he eats, he binges and purges all at once.

 

[Docker2.0]

Vegetables!??! are you serious?!?!

 

[Steve Rogers]

Grace Slick was the one who used to sing that when it first came out so it wouldn't suprise me if acid was involved lol.

Really? Huh. Who woulda thunk it. But yeah, her involvment certainly ups the acid factor.
