What clips? What clips?

 

[Harvey Towers]

Sesame Street actually comes in at number 32 - I think your list is the right shows but not necesarily in the right order Tutter.

The Sesame Street clips are, I believe, from the very beginning with clay animated titles.The original Big Bird (small head), Bert and Ernie are shown: Ernie sung a song about "wash" and talked about his bath being called Rosie to Bert.

Kermit and Grover pop up too as does the "Sing a Song" number.

Also featured is an interview with ithe show's co-creator Joan Ganz Cooney.

Oh, and the obligatory subject of Bert and Ernie as a gay couple of course...

I find this list pretty strange.... but as long as 2 Muppet projects are on it, I can't really complain.

But I still can't get over the fact they labled The Simpsons as a kid's show. Especially after the heat it once had back in 1991, when kid's were imitating Bart's behavior. Not to mention the pretty adult subject matter.

Plus I don't understand why Pokemon is on that list, other than it's accomplishments (the long long run on kid's WB and the fad's impact from 1999-2002) and I don't understand why Heman is so great. I'll admit the toys were cool, but the show is pretty lame, even by 1980's standards.

I didn't realise the controversy Tinky Winky caused state-side!! I was shocked!! I love Tinky Winky, I loved him and it doesn't make me gay! *spies rainbow avatar* Oh. Never mind.

I would never consider The Simpsons a kids show.

 

[TogetherAgain]

How sad is it that I've never even heard of most of those shows? But at leas the muppet show and sesame street are on the list. that makes me happy.

 

[mikebennidict]

think this should be on the General Boards since we're talking about other shows not Muppet releated.
