Keeping it Seasame Street! THE OLDSKOOL YEARS

[deterrent]

Sunny Days Y'all,

Volumes 1 and 2 have been released but come with parental warnings.

Over the past 37 years "The Street" has been censored, adultrated, and recived several face-lifts.

 

The orginal years captured in the 2 first volumes will include the following:

Closeted Ernie and Bert shared a dismal basement apartment, in a dingy deteriorating

brownstone. Cookie Monster was on a fast track to diabetes. Oscar’s depression was

untreated. Prozacky Elmo didn’t exist. Little lonely Sally finds herself befriended by

older male stranger Gordon. Lazzy fatt ass kids jockey for airtime with their deafening

transistor radios. Monsterpiece Theater with Alistair Cookie, played by Cookie Monster

smokes and eats pipes. Oscar seems irredeemably miserable — hypersensitive, sarcastic,

misanthropic. Bert, too, is described as grouchy; none of the characters, in fact, is especially

sunshiney except maybe Ernie, who just seems slow. Snuffleupagus is visible only to Big Bird

durring a hallucinating state. Originally designed by Jim Henson for use in commercials for

General Foods International and Frito-Lay, Cookie Monster was never a righteous figure.

Now, that's just dumb.

n East Harlem and Bedford-Stuyvesant in 1978, 95 percent of households with kids ages 2 to 5

watched “Sesame Street.” The figure was even higher in Washington. Nationwide, though, the

number wasn’t much lower, and was largely determined by the whims of the PBS affiliates: 80

percent in houses with young children.

 

Thos numbers are off the hook, they had shit on lock.

{Oh, what’s that? Right, the trance of early “Sesame Street” and its country-time sequences. In spite of the

show’s devotion to its “target child,” the “4-year-old inner-city black youngster” (as The New York Times

explained in 1979), the first episodes join kids cavorting in amber waves of grain — black children, mostly,

who must be pressed into service as the face of America’s farms uniquely on “Sesame Street.”}
