Sesame Street censorship

[roadrat15]

Somethings are sometimes too censored for their own good. If a muppet bangs their head against the table, I don't consider it dangerous,it's darn funny.

I accidentally bumped my head on the wall last night. That wasn't very funny for me.

Does anybody remember the series of animated shorts (I hope this was SS and not the Electric Company) where there was a construction worker guy. He'd come up to a sign that said, say "DANGER," and sound it out slowly and incorrectly, and something would fall on him eventually. Kind of like the Chicken Jane shorts on Between the Lions now.

You know, I can see why they've retired those, but my brother and I LIVED for them at the time! Even with a two-year-old of my own, I'd love to see those back!

Thanks for getting back on topic, Hays.

Sesame Street had some cartoon shorts with a guy trying to read a sign, and something happening to him...and The Electric Company had some like that too...except that the SS ones were words, and the TEC ones were commands ("Duck", "Do not enter", etc.)

I think I know what you mean. I remember one where he pronounced the word "school" and a little boy or a little girl came up to him and said, "What are you talking about? Today is Saturday." Then he responded "Oh, no school."

I think that sounds correct!
