AN UNCORRUPTED AMERICAN INSTITUTION

My son is now discovering Sesame Street. It's a fairly remarkable show, and there's about a book's worth of material up on Wikipedia about it. A few interesting points:

- It has won more Emmies than any other television show.

- The biggest shock for me: Snuffleupagus is no longer invisible to humans! This was changed in the 80s - with sexual predator concerns they didn't want adults on the show refusing to believe a character (Big Bird).

- Miss Piggy was supposedly inspired by Loretta Swit.
