My memories of Sesame Street include a skit with a goat who got mad. <BR/><BR/>In the skit, the refrain would go, "He got maaaaad! He got maaaad! He got maaaaad! (It ain't bad to get mad)"<BR/><BR/>When my father saw it, he declared it False Doctrine and switched off the television in an ironic pique: "It is *so* bad to get mad!" he exclaimed. <BR/><BR/>The other thing I remember is all the Spanish language skits, often a repeat of English skits aired just minutes before. And I recall having little or no patience for them. But, I did learn to count to ten in Spanish, and I can still remember the music...<BR/><BR/>I don't share your opinion about Elmo, who never struck me as more than a gregarious four-year-old. I've met children whose mentation was stuck on worse things than an inability to use pronouns, though my own oldest daughter outgrew that by the age of three. <BR/><BR/>And Sesame Street in the 90's was kind of fun! Slimy the worm, Oscar's friend, planning and executing a mission to the Moon launched from Sesame Street for all worm-kind, was one of the bits played out over a season's worth of shows. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'm just betraying one of the characteristics of having a home office in a house with two toddlers and no cable?
