Too old for Sesame Street

[mikebennidict]

Oh yeah. If and When SS goes off air it will be a sad day for us all.

Think we've discussed that before so let's not even go down that road and stick to the thread topic.

 

[wwfpooh]

Well, the thread topic is asking if one's too old for the Street and since this is a Muppet site, most will say a definate "No" (that one can never be too old for the Street).

D'accord! Nobody can be too old for SST, It was made with the intention that parents would enjoy it just as much as their Children.

2. People don't like change, plain & simple

Well change can be hard, but I'm mainly upset with change if it's not working.

 

[CensoredAlso]

Definitely I don't blame the performer.

Elmo has been toned down in recent years, but for a good 10 he was Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too popular. I like Him, but by the same token I do not.

You can't blame the performer, cause Kevin does many other characters very well; like Wolfgang *bark bark*

 

[The Shoe Fairy]

You shouldn't blame the character either, for it's not Elmo's fault that he's become a cash cow!

Continuous use of the phrase cash cow just cracks me up. lol

 

[The Shoe Fairy]

I truly have no idea. no offense or anything, I just think it's funny. Wait, if Elmo is a cow, then what is Gladys?

A red-furred monster that speaks in third-person? XD

Maybe they should swap back, but Elmo has a collar with a bell

Elmo's mother was named Gladys in the "Birthdays" episode of EW, but I don't know whether to accept that as Sesame Street canon; that scene of Elmo's parents waiting for the baby in the hospital was Dorothy's imagination, after all.
