Is Sesame Street adult content?

Friday, November 23rd, 2007 by Luis

Early episodes of Sesame Street are being released on DVD — with a warning that they are intended for grown-ups and may not suit the needs of today’s preschoolers.

Cookie Monster is headed for diabetic coma, an elderly man takes a lost girl home with him, Oscar is in need of some serious mental health, and the ghetto never looked like that.

Virginia Heffernan of the New York Times blog The Medium argues that the vintage Sesame Street characters couldn’t make on T.V. today.

When I was a kid I was able able to handle watching Cookie Monster holding a pipe, which he later eats.

Is the destiny of our children to live in a pure transparent bubble to be politically correct?

I don’t even want to think how many “Adult Content XXX” labels will get one of my favourite tv programs when I was a kid back in the early 80’s in Spain called “La Bola De Cristal”. (See an example)
