Asks the hispanic mom next door

"would you rather that the government pay for your food stamps, or big bird."

"WTF is Big Bird?"

If she's a Mexican mom, she'll know Plaza Sésamo.  It's as popular as Sesame Street is among the anglophone crowd.  I bought my son a book called "Los insectos con Archibaldo" in Mexico so he could learn some Spanish.  (Archibaldo is what they call Grover, and Archibaldo has that same scratchy weird voice as Grover, except that he speaks Spanish.)  The Big Bird character is actually green in the Mexican version, with some colorful feathers on his head and he is called Montoya, but, at least in Mexico, they know that in the Yankee version his is yellow and called Big Bird.  Cookie Monster is called Lucas, Kermit is called René, the gay lovers Bert and Ernie are called Beto y Enrique, and Elmo, of course, is called Elmo, but his girlfriend Zoe is called Lola in the Spanish version.


Montoya:



WTF is this? lol

I prefer the older Sesame Street from the 80s and early 90s, as of now its so politically correct, no normal kid wants to watch it anymore.

I love this. Sesame Street is like Saturday night live. People always think it was best when they first saw it

Also this is a show for 4 year olds. So I'm not sure what you mean by "normal kid"  I think most kids still watch because it's good TV and it's made for them.
I'll take that back, every kid wants to watch Sesame Street.
