Indeed it is... An homage to the greatest 30 seconds in Childrens TV that is no more
Sesame Street totally sucks ass these days.
Have you seen it?
It's put together by a bunch of idiots with degrees in Early Childhood education and no sense of humor or creative juice. There is nothing 'there' with these people. Clerk types who should be in meaningless offices somewhere coordinating little snips of paper into neat little stacks, but no, they are put in charge of Sesame Street of all things.
Can you even imagine?
Nowadays, the entire show has been reduced to a basic forumla of liberal politics and 'textbook education theory' that they recycle, show after show, without any thought.
They haven't shown the 12345-678910-11-12 pinball cartoon in over 3 years now.
THREE YEARS.
The theme music doesn't even have a piano anymore, but instead is this techno-electronic-pop abortion.
Everyone can see Snuffie, not to mention that the show is nothing more than a half-hour long showcase of that fucking douchebag Elmo.
Where are the sketches of 'ethnic diversity' showing school aged children in New York City???
Gone are the stretches of meaningful dialogue; the 'hip' pop culture guest stars of musicians and movie stars.
Where are the kids in wheelchairs?
I WANT TO SEE KIDS IN WHEELCHAIRS, GOD DAMNIT!But no. Instead, what you have today is just another vehicle to sell plush toys and educational software.
It's really gone to hell in a handcart.
