Gentrification of Sesame Street
Sesame Street gentrified and I blame Elmo. Others blame Elmo as well, showing how this annoyingly voiced red hyper monster destroyed SS single-handedly by taking up a huge portion of screen time.When I was a kid, we had two channels, NBC and PBS. So after I got home and Mom finished watching Days of Our Lives, I turned the channel to the PBS station to watch Sesame Street. People walked along, bumped into each other, started conversations, or ventured over to the independently owned shop "Mr. Hooper's" and hung out, as people do here. Kim Wee as Mr. Hooper, because that's the only small shop I hang out at, if I am hanging out anywhere. But unlike here, SS isn't as trashy. We have more Oscars, and more guys in the alley (but unlike the SS characters they aren't trying to give us a good deal on the letter "A").
