By the way, Cookie Monster didn’t just eat cookies in the days before they dumbed down Sesame Street. He often ate the plate the cookies were on, parts of the set, huge alphabet letters and numbers and just about anything else he could get his hands on once a feeding frenzy had started. Any kid dumb enough to copy his eating habits would have had a well deserved stomach ache.

props to the cookie monster for holding his ground…

C is for cookie,
That’s good enough for me,
C is for cookie,
A fun and tasty treat,
C is for cookie,
That’s good enough for me,
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!

I enJOYed (echo, echo, echo) this bit when it originally aired. As I watched it here again I found it to be equally charming, funny and even poignant.

These of course are among the intended/desired responses, deLIGHTful (echo, echo, echo) on a purely visceral level as well as a cerebral one.

I maintain THAT.

I got it when i was little. Are kids really that much more dense these days? Or are the current producers just assuming that they are?

Instead of updating the show by making the old characters politically correct, maybe what they should be doing is introducing new characters that portray the new vices that children face. For example: a character who is glued to video games to the point of dysfunction—just as Cookie was addicted to cookies, and Oscar was addicted to junk. Or a character who’s nose or ear is always buried in a mobile phone—committing all of the typical rudenesses, like shouting into it, and dismissing people around them. Or one who never leaves the computer.

It seems like the show has lost its way in some respects.
