The 'tut-tut' police keep us on the street and narrow Early on Sesame Street is straight and narrow. ...or... In the Politically Correct world the early couple of its years weren't "Kid Friendly". ID: 687922 ·  |

Yep, they banned Noddy and Big ears, they warn and ban all sorts of things. Sesame St. Adults only, what a joke. Ban censorship, hey I'm on the net, I can get anything I want so really there is no point. Fred Niles rides again. Qunpu' lo'taHmo' jIH yItamQo' ID: 689229 · |

How pathetic! The people who classified these episodes as adult ought to be given frontal lobotomies so they cannot harm themselves or anyone else. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Andrew Fuller, a clinical psychologist and consultant on children's television production, said a sanitised world was far more dangerous than the whacky world of Sesame Street. "Unless we expose kids to a diverse range of characters and behaviour they will not be prepared for the real world," he said. The ABC, which has broadcast Sesame Street since 1971, would no longer consider the original episodes suitable children's material, head of children's programming Tim Brooke-Hunt said. "We might screen them in the context of a discussion about what was happening back then, but now they are not appropriate as children's TV," he said. ============================================== Says it all right there.

Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing!

They say the same thing about the Warner Bros cartoons. The supposed violence that was displayed would turn kids into monsters etc..   LETS BEGIN IN 2010 ID: 689819 · |
