Today I opened Google and saw Cookie Monster in Google logo ( yesterday it was Big Bird ) and as I mouse over, it says "Ika-40th Anibersaryo ng Sesame Street" and my reaction was, Oh! wow they are 40.
I can't help but count how old Sesame was when I was born? They were only 9. Now you're counting my age...Okay anyway, I feel sad that kids nowadays don't know Sesame Street anymore. They are missing all the fun of counting 1-10 with count and singing ABC with the muppets, kermit, big bird, monsters and all the kids in the cute and fun episodes of Sesame Street. It was like the english counterpart of Batibot for us then.
Now that Sesame is 40, kids then have also grown but well remember the daily telly habit of watching favorite kids programs. I wish that TV networks today will have more child friendly shows that teach basic school lessons with clean entertainment just like Sesame Street and Batibot back then.
Hope to see more substance in kids tv programs today, more than tagalized cartoon programs or violent animes. Hope to see the likes of Batibot or Sesame Street back to filipino kids TV viewing consumption again.

Children programs today are no brainers. It make the child actually dumber. Remember Teletubbies? They can't freaking speak!!!

ReplyDeleteSineskwela cultivated in me a love of science. Sana mas marami pang shows na ganun, totoo...
i bought the old school sesame street 2 volume dvds from amazon, the one with episodes from the first 10 years of SS (got them for myself, mind you). when i watch them with my niece (and by myself) i can't get over how much genius and creativity was put into each of those segments. and that was before there were high tech effects! i still marvel at each one of them just like i did when i watched them as a kid.
ReplyDeleteor more than those robot/stepford-like kids like the ones in barney.
