Where are the older humans?

[D'Snowth]

They did not just blindly follow trends.

No, but at the same time, they still found ways to incorporate trends into the show. When disco was big in the 70s, we ended up with such memorable moments as "Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco," "Disco D," and they even put out that Sesame Street Fever album. When "New Wave" music was big in the 80s, we had "New Way to Walk," and "NTV."

But they never sold out back then.

That depends on how you define sell out. It could be argued that they "sold out" when they started merchandising.

Hardly. No one was forced to buy.

Besides, SW does cater to older fans, just not with the actual show itself: the Old School DVDs were made specifically for us; likewise, SW routinely uploads classic bits on YouTube for us as well. But the show proper itself is specifically for the pre-schoolers, so they're going to have to cater the show based on what their target audience will respond to, whether we like it, agree with it, or not.

Yes, they have entertainment that is strictly either for adults or children. They have the younger actors on camera while the older ones can be heard, but not seen. They seem to be rather obsessed with segregation by age these days.

Unfortunately, kids are more likely to respond to younger people than they are older people, but keep in mind too, once upon a time, the older castmembers were the younger people for previous generations.

And the research to back up this information comes from...?

 

[D'Snowth]

Have you ever spent any time with kids? Ever?

Not really. I've just been a children's therapist for the last 16 years, son.

I hate to challenge you on this but, I find that hard to believe.
