For Christmas, my grandma got the Girl Child the Sesame Street Old School DVDs. Said DVDs feature the “best of” episodes from early Sesame Street, 1969-1979.
Some of the episodes begin with a disclaimer, which–I shit you not–says:
“These early Sesame Street episodes are intended for grown-ups and may not suit the needs of today’s pre-school child.”
Y’all have any idea how terrifying it is to be raising a kid in a world where that’s true? Ugh.
For what it’s worth, the Girl Child finds the Old School episodes wildly entertaining (she’s a big Cookie Monster fan). She’s presently chilling on the couch watching an episode from 1975, eating bacon.
