Netflix saves Sesame Street

[mudwhistle]

So you are complaining because a show geared for younger than preschoolers was boring for you as an adult?
Thats kind of weird.

I wasn't an adult. Unless being a 12 year old means being an adult to you.

I was born in the latter part of 56' and Sesame Street started in 69'.

But even Romper Room gave me the creeps.
I was reading the funny papers when I was 3.
I already could read and write when they started teaching us cursive in 1st grade.
Remember those big pencils and those funny yellow pages with the dotted lines above and below a solid line?

Fair enough. A 12 year old was not Sesame Street's target audience.

I do remember those! They don't teach kids cursive now.

That's just wrong.

I think everyone should have to learn cursive.....and get that bruise on their index and middle fingers like I got trying to write all of that stuff on those yellow practice forms.

They kelp kids learn to read and count, Most people think that is good.

Sesame, Myself, and I

Language skills have become scarce ever since that puppet show pretended to be teaching them. It made kids reluctant to learn unless it was goofy and fun.
