Oh, yes...old episodes of Sesame Street are "adult humor"...That's humorous in itself...:D

Last I checked, Sesame Street never used the adult humor of South Park. I know it seems like an outdated idea, but there is actually still a difference between entertainment for adults and entertainment for children.

South Park has its place, but separate from Sesame Street.

Nah, let's stick with the gross-out humor. We'll have the show up to South Park level in no time.

Why? Were they also fired for being too old?

Or ageism. But, I know nothing can compete with scatological gross-out humor.

How about Big Bird feeling sad because all of his human friends, who took care of him for years, have gone away?

Absolutely. They should hire back some veteran cast members.

So, someone in their 80's can still be qualified to be a doctor, but cannot be qualified to work on a children's show.

It's called a nursing home.

Sorry, but statements mean nothing unless there is evidence to back them up, especially when it is a generalizing statement against a whole group of people.

Jeez...Do you even bother to read the whole things: "Doesn't really matter what you believe. Some people here don't seem to have much regard for facts anyway. But, it's true, believe it or not..."

Doesn't really matter what you believe. Some people here don't seem to have much regard for facts anyway. But, it's true, believe it or not, and there are actually middle aged and (gasp) elderly therapists who are successful with children. Will wonders never cease? But, now, I will turn it...

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

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

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.

Hardly. No one was forced to buy.

But they never sold out back then.

The reason Sesame Street even ever existed is because it challenged the way things were typically being done at the time. They did not just blindly follow trends. That was when it was run on imagination, guts, and innovation. To paraphrase a wise man, "The heart and soul of the show are gone."

Only one problem with that argument: You're going in with the assumption that what's good for kids and what's good for adults are mutually exclusive. For years, Sesame Workshop (CTW) was run by people who were smart enough to do both at the same time.
