Do you think it's ridiculous for them to put a warning before the episode starts? the fact that the cookie monster has
-a bad diet

-"Snuffleupagus is visible only to Big Bird; since 1985, he was not hallucinating came to seem a little creepy, not to mention somewhat strained."

-"Alistair Cookie, played by Cookie Monster, used to appear with a pipe, which he later gobbled. According to Parente, “That modeled the wrong behavior” — smoking, eating pipes —"

-oscar the grouch was too sarcastic and rude

-little girl goes into a house of a stranger to be given cookies and then walks into the sunset hand in hand


the little girl scene i can understand and big bird with Snuffleupagus could be an imaginationary friend but seeing how it was back in the 70's i'm sure it was referenced to drugs.

Sorry, but no one wants to see the cookie monster with celery. It's a television show. It's not going to give kids bad cholesterol and diabetes... the parents who plop the kid in front of the television for hours and lets their kid eat whatever they want probably will.

Yeah, agreed. It's just a show, a kids show, it's not like the children are going to get up and start eating pipes. Seriously people overreact a bit too much these days.
