Its true. THis show was also my favorite. Its very sutible for children, and I remember watchign it until I was like 7. :] Elmos world was always a favorite part of mine:) If i had to pick something that isnt suitible for kids...its that they let the strangers through elmos door..But children don't even udnerstand that--so its fine! :) Favorite Street!

What Parents Need to Know
About Sesame Street
Parents need to know that this classic educational series sometimes deals with strong emotions, such as wariness and uncertainty about a new baby coming. The Muppet characters are sometimes slightly irreverent, but that tiny bit of edge is what makes the show fun for older viewers to watch, and it never gets in the way of preschoolers' learning or enjoyment.

Sesame Street is really good for babies, preschoolers, and the teens/parents who watch it with them! There's nothing bad! Besides, it teaches little kids and there are cultural references that teens and adults can enjoy (Desperate Houseplants for example!). People any age can watch Sesame Street, but don't tell anyone in middle/high school that you watch it if you're a teen! I <3 Elmo! Watch Sesame Street! Bye!
