How Sesame Street Changed the World
…Yet it’s only rated #15 among kids shows. Thanks a lot, SpongeBob. You may not have taught me to count in Spanish, or learn about people different than myself, or given me the skills to cope with grief, or remember the stick of butter, loaf of bread and a container of milk, but you’ve certainly taught me it’s funny to fart and berate people. Although I suppose there’s a place for that in my life, too. via tv tattle

My 2 1/2 year old went through a short Sesame Street phase and it totally helped learn to count, but he prefers other shows on PBS, like Curious George and Word World. I don’t want him watching THAT much TV, so I limit it to PBS only and the shows he really likes.
Oh yeah, he likes that whiny Calliou as well. UGH>

I like Sponge Bob. Now Blue’s Clues is a different story and don’t even get me started about Dora!

omg “loaf of bread, container of milk, and a stick of butter.” I can’t believe how we all remember that.

I can’t even fathom all of the space taken up in my brain by Sesame Street. Just as a sample, I remember the grocery list you mention, sheep-shearing to make sweaters, sugar beets, teeny little super guy (cartoon superhero on the side of the drinking glass), and, most of all, taking the llama to the dentist. Will this generation of children force their llamas to suffer the heartbreak of tooth decay???

The fact that my kids have outgrown Sesame Street is one of the few sad things about them getting big. Being able to fix themselves breakfast makes up for it.
