I grew up watching the series, as all my generation did, and frankly, I've never suffered thrauma from it. In fact, I've never tried to smoke or to eat pipes ¬ ¬. Instead I learnt many EDUCATIONAL things, because that's the objective of the series, to be educative. I'll tell you what, I'd rather my children to watch these series better than all the series that children watch today, including pokemon, shinchan and all that manga stuff.

She thinks cigarettes are stupid, but still, it's fun. She doesn't even need a candy cig. Some folks are just too stupid for words. Like those that pulled the cookie pipe bit. I like Allister Cookie. Maybe in these days of childhood obesity paranoia, they were afraid to show anyone actually enjoying their food? Maya ’smokes’ the air on cold mornings.

Then again, I've always loathed Elmo ever since he usurped Grover's role as the "cutest" muppet. (Although Grover will ALWAYS be the cutest in my book.)

Really, what are we trying to cover up here? The morality police are definitely on parade!

I really think that a lot of the fun of Sesame Street has been taken away and filled with Elmo. It is still one of the better kid's shows out there, but not nearly as good as I remember it being.
