Re: Sesame Street and the Generation of Wimps
It's imbecilic. I grew up watching Bugs Bunny -- and not a cutified "baby Bugs Bunny" type version, and watching those cartoons never hurt anybody. The teletubbies/Barney type stuff was the stuff that had me rolling my eyes in horror even as a really young kid. It's kinda terrifying realizing adults are so out of touch that they're speaking to you as if you have the brains of a parakeet or something.
The stuff out now is way, way worse that Bugs Bunny or the old Hanna-Barbera stuff, and truly drained of life. It's about as stimulating as a Maoist forced reeudcation camp.
