I have always been a huge fan of anything Jim Henson. All my life. I grew up with Sesame Street, Muppets, Fraggles, Dark Crystal, etc. Now, as a 30 year old man, I can get away with still liking Muppets. Its socially acceptable… or at least I don’t get too many strange looks. But Sesame Street kind of fell to the wayside.
Now that I am a Dad, I have started watching again. It is a really funny show. Sure, its geared towards a younger audience, but there is a lot of humor for parents too. I realize I am stating the obvious here, as the whole draw of Sesame Street was to entertain kids and parents, but it is still true. There are times when I find myself watching when Jack has gone off to pull all his clothes out of the draw.
As further proof of this, in the new season they are doing a Mad Men parody. I found a clip of it below…
