I was looking up old Sesamie Street clips on Youtube to entertain Carl with, when I came across this gem:

A couple weeks back I also went through Sesame Street things I grew up with. Part of ours was home produced, part were puppet sketches and cartoons bought from the U.S. version. Looking at it today, some of the scenes are still very surreal and some of the dialogues (esp. Ernie/Bert, or the classical here/there thing) makes you wonder just what the heck people were smoking back in the day.

Today's kids tv is so harmless by comparison. :(

Awesome!  :D
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Ours was the last generation before kids got pansied by overprotective parents and the new media.

I listened to an interview with the guy who is a sort of "Sesame Street biographer" recently, and apparently Bert and Ernie were a direct creative outlet for Jim Henson and Frank Oz, and were caricatures of them. No wonder they are some of the best characters in the series. :D

Also, a big reason why Sesame Street got sorta "dumbed down" is because it has began to cater to a younger and younger audience as the years passed (largely due to Barney the Dinosaur, who was much dumber but apparently started to seriously threaten the Sesame Street merchandize sales, because it was addressed to younger kids who loved him, and as they grew they would have become a "captive audience" rather than switch to Sesame Street).

So, similarly to Copernicus' monetary law, bad entertainment pushes good entertainment out of the market, sadly.

Man that was annoying!
If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

- Bruce Lee
