I find it insanely ridiculous that the box sets of Sesame Street (Old School) carry a disclaimer that the programs from 1969-79 "may not be entirely suitable for today's preschoolers."

1. Awesome JL icon. Best episode ever.

2. I don't know whether your comment makes me angry or sad. Maybe a little of both.

The 'unsuitable' parts are:

1) Kermit and a letter (a 'W', I think) getting into a slap fight.

2) A small child lost on Sesame Street being taken home by Gordon so they can contact her family.

Honest.

I loved Elmo when he first appeared on Sesame Street. Later, I wanted to kill him with a tire iron.

@hawkmoth -- it's a wonder that any of us survived the early years of Sesame Street...what with all the sex and violence they featured (apparently omitted from the DVD set).

I want that on a t-shirt with a picture of Grover. Fantastic!
