Trust me, Noggin won't listen. The classic SS sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the current one, which is why they shoved it into late night in the first place. And they are now phasing out the late-night classics, and I think SS will be gone by next year. No petition can save this program. To satisfy our need for classic SS, the only thing we can do now is go to PBS stations and request duplicates of whatever classic episodes still exist in their archives. Or request some sort of classic-skit-compilation DVD or duplicates of archived episodes from CTW...either choice is unfeasible...
The truth is, CTW doesn't WANT us to see the classic episodes. That's why they give us sixty-five edited episodes in late night, twice a week. They want to target preschoolers and teens, and in order to do that, they must give the shaft to the original viewers of the original CTW programs. There's nothing we can ever do about it...so let's just keep our memories, like we did before Sesame Street Unpaved.
