Following along with my series of posts on online videos, my next will be focused on the popular long running children's show, Sesame Street. Personally, I think that overall the show is not just for children, but has always been meant to be viewed by adults as well. From watching some of the sketches recently, it is quite obvious to me that there are jokes which would simply just fly right over the head of the average child. One of these sketches happens to be the infamous Monsterpiece Theater with cookie monster. The whole point of the sketch is to teach children something in the range of the alphabet or numbers with the use of a movie. However, the movie's they use are actual titles in which most child would not know. For example the video above uses a french film titled The 400 Blows, of course they make it a play on words for children and show a sesame street character blowing out the candles with 400 breathes. It's things like these that make me appreciate the quality of writing that goes into  even a children's show. So the long and the short of it is that it would seem as though my respect for Sesame Street has grown largely due to the appeal it could actually have if parents were to watch it. Ultimately, it is really a fairly witty show no matter who the viewers are.
