Sesame Street was BIZARRE —
I have clear memories of the first episode of Sesame Street, and I've tried to tell people how WEIRD it was. I never thought to look it up, though, until last week. Take a look! It's FUCKED UP!
If the video doesn't work, try to find it yourself. It's worth it!
Gordon has a 'fro and Shaft-style sideburns. Big Bird is a mess. Burt and Ernie are... UNFINISHED. And the jokes suck. Susan has always been the same, though. I love Susan.
And yes, I know it's hard to believe, but Oscar was ORANGE. I've been telling people for years, HE WAS ORANGE, DAMMIT. And here's proof!

By today standards it might seem a bit weird, but if you put it in the context of the time period it seems rather normal. And yes I did grow up on seseme street. lol Its where I learned english. :)
