This is a staple of my childhood since I'm a GenXer.
My kids never saw a second of Sesame Street, unfortunately. We didn't watch TV, only streaming, and the other options like Daniel Tiger were much easier to get access to and relatable. It's sad that I don't have that shared experience with them but I guess that's just how life is!

- pram 3y agoYeah the new stuff is awful. I made a joke to my wife that Sesame Street got gentrified.
- bonniemuffin 3y agoThe biggest difference I've noticed is that the newer episodes are targeted to a younger demographic, which makes it seem very dumbed-down compared to the old stuff, but it means younger kids can keep up and learn from it. My 3yo learns a ton from the recent episodes, whereas the older sesame streets are just a little too complex for her to follow. I'll try the older ones on her once she ages out of the recent ones.
- hkozlowska 3y agoHi Bonnie, so sorry to be randomly commenting on this post, but I can't comment on one you posted in 2019 that I'm interested in (about BBS). I'm a journalist researching the topic. My email is in my bio. Thanks!
