Well, the purpose of showing adults crying was to show the viewers that children aren't the only ones who are sad(Big Bird sees that the grownups are sharing the same loss as he is). The major difference between cartoons and PBS is that PBS tends to be more educational than cartoons, which...

I notice that PBS children's shows such as Sesame Street and Wishbone tend to take death more seriously than cartoons do. Why is this? And what was the purpose of showing adults crying in the episode where Mr. Hooper died?

I agree. Don't we WANT eggs to break, because that's how we get at the edible substance inside?

You mean since the other varieties of Cheerios do not contain honey, it wouldn't make sense to print him on other varieties of Cheerios, but on the other hand, every variety of Rice Krispies makes the Snap! Crackle! Pop! when milk is poured over them, so it would make sense to put Snap! Crackle...

Many cereal mascots are featured on all in the series(e.g. Snap! Crackle! Pop! appears on every variety of Rice Krispies, not just regular Rice Krispies, and Cap'n Crunch appears on every variety of his cereal, not just the plain version). But why does Buzz, the Honey Nut Cheerios bee only...

Well, I would assume yes, Humpty Dumpty did die, because they couldn't put him together again, and having no shell is liking having no body, so he obviously died. What do any of you think-did Humpty Dumpty die when he broke from his fall off the wall?

Do companies, eg Sesame Workshop or Disney(who owns the rights tp the Muppets) even know our ideas are placed on this forum?

Don't petition private companies! Ideas for new products, advertising, promotions, etc. are all private decisions. Companies will just do as they wish regardless of what people want. They don't take ideas from people outside the company.

Okay, we know that companies don't take ideas for production from people outside the company. Do companies pay attention to or know about the ideas discussed on this or any other online forum? For example, does Sesame Workshop know about the ideas for Sesame Street placed on this forum?

Never! It's so obvious that people don't mean the seeds on a hamburger bun, if they're using the word Sesame in that sense. Yes, the only thing in that group that Sesame would refer to is Sesame Street.

Before I visit, I now have to call the school in advance to let the principal know I'll be there. This way, I won't be taken by surprise if there's a staff meeting, and over the phone, we settle on a date on which people will be there and available after school.

Well, one visits old schools to see their favorite teachers. Not the students.

Well, don't forget-Visiting old schools can only be done after school, never during school hours. But why hasn't the Elmo's World episode on school talked about going back to visit one's old school?

We've seen various Sesame Street episodes and clips focusing on school. But see my thread in General Discussion, "Anybody visit their old schools?" and I see that other people do besides me. Why has Sesame Street never talked about visiting former schools?

When Ben Stiller learns it's not smart to dress like a cheese at lunchtime, shouldn't it have been mice he attracted who wanted to eat him rather than the two other people in the neighborhood?

Well, adults know if the story was set before they knew smoking was bad, but to write for kids, one has to write it to appeal to a modern American audience so the age level of the viewers can understand. Kids don't understand between the past and the present like adults do.

Why did your elementary school library have Sesame Street magazines when elementary school is too old for Sesame Street?

Well, to anybody who pays attention to children's shows, Sesame Street is so famous and no other kids show has the name Sesame in it, so it's obvious to most people with small children what one means by, "Sesame."

I've heard people, when referring to Sesame Street in conversation, just say, "Sesame" as in, "Sesame books", "Sesame toys", "Sesame Live", etc. How is the adjective "Sesame" enough for the listener to know that the speaker means Sesame Street?

I have discontinued donating to my old teachers, but I still pay visits. By the way, do you think visiting old schools is a daytime or a nighttime thing?
