    Tough day. I haven’t seen Sesame Street in ages, what’s going on??

    Sesame Street: it is now several mini shows-within-the-show. It all started with “Elmo’s World” a few years ago, and now it has Journey to Ernie, something about where in the world is Grover, etc…gone are the nice storylines and continuity. I miss the old skits that had humor even adults could appreciate. All those old Grover the Waiter skits with the bald blue man who can’t stand Grover’s terrible service still crack me up.

    Sigh. So much wrong with Sesame Street in its current condition. Our kids think it is boring and won’t watch it anymore.

    Wow, sounds like what happened to Saturday night live. How do you screw up Sesame Street? I’d say it’s the Republicans, but I know you wouldn’t agree ; )

    It was Karl Rove, I believe.
