Sesame Street used to be the gold standard for children's television, but it's gone severely downhill in recent years. And it all has to do with Elmo! How did that little furry red monster make the show so much worse?

"You've got to remember that you're not merely writing for children. You're writing for the unfortunate people; mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandfathers, grandmothers... who've got to read the children the stories aloud. Not just once, but over and over and over again." - The Rev. W. Awdry, Creator of "Thomas & Friends"

"Who's your favorite vampire?" "Probably that purple dude from Sesame Street." "He doesn't count." "Oh, I assure you, he does..."

My four year old does not call the show Sesame street, he calls it Elmo. It really shows how dominant the character became.
-
Big bird singing at Jim Henson's funeral makes me cry everytime
-
If you watch Sesame Street in 2023 it literally feels like the Elmo and friends show . At least in the 90s it felt like the Elmo and big bird show and friends lol.
-
This should really be called ‘How HBO ruined Seasame Street’
-
I agree. Before Elmo, Sesame Street characters were fun but never made kids feel like they were being talked to in an extremely simplistic and therefor different way than their own parents would communicate with them. Elmo always felt like a form of condescension, even if kids couldn’t identify exactly what that was.
-
Snuffy and the two aliens that had a conversation with a ringing telephone were my favorite characters
-
Elmo is effectively everything Jim Henson didn't want the Muppets to turn into.
-
I feel as though Elmo as a character wasn't the root of the issue but was definitely representative of a growing problem of trying to make it more entertaining than educational.The move to HBO was the final nail in the coffin, because finally they were saying the quiet part out loud: it is no longer about education. It is about money.
-
This show started 3 months after I was born in 1969. So I can say that it has literally been running for my entire life. And I started watching it when I was 2-3 years old. It is sad what has become of it. It is directly responsible for me being able to read before I even started school.
-
Sesame street had a rule that they wouldn’t have kids on who were actors, but now almost every kid is an actor on the show
-
I think Elmo is more of a symptom than a cause of Sesame Street's decline. He's a good character, and I see why the kids like him so much, but the show runners didn't have to make him the focus of nearly every episode. To answer your question (which is tough because it's hard to pick just one), my favorite Sesame Street Muppet would probably have to be Cookie Monster.
-
As someone who grew up watching Sesame Street during the "new" era, I had no idea the old era was so meditative and deep
-
I was 16 in 1969 and found Sesame Street to be a relaxing way of winding down after school. My fave is, and always was, Grover.
-
As a kid growing up in a tiny town in rural Iowa, the "city street" setting was more foreign to me than all the crazy monsters lol.
-
I’m at that age where I remember before and after Elmo took off. He definitely took over to the point where it felt less Sesame Street and more Elmo and his amazing friends.
-
This hit home for me. I'm a 70s baby, so I grew up loving Grover and watching Sesame Street as a poor Black girl from Tennessee. I fell in love with reading, numbers, and music because of this show. When my son was born, it was the beginning of the Elmo years, and I tried to hold on to a bit of what survived from my time. It's sort of sad that the next generation will never have what I had back then.

Man, you nailed it. Even watching the segments you presented and observing my emotional response, there was a warmth and 'community' and sense of belonging to those scenes. The modern ones are a 'show', not a community.
