To the people who are moaning about it not being targeted for children; I was glued to Sesame Street for years back in the 70's and early 80's and trust me; at least *this* makes sense. Half the stuff back then was acid-tripping disco fodder. You're telling me that the above doesn't teach children the difference between "upside down" and "right-side up"? Find something useful to fuss about and just enjoy how awesome this is.

To this day I still sing "Letter B" instead of Let It Be, thanks to their Beatles parody.

Indeed, cute, but it's a problem that kids are such a low priority for Sesame Street. I'm sure it brings in money for PBS. But Fred Rogers never did this kind of thing because kids were his only priority.

Best Carson impersonation ever. No one ever gets Violet right though.

I don't think kids even get most of the humor on Sesame Street.

I love it. I liked their spoof of "30 Rock", where thirty rocks were delivered to the soundstage and they had to count them.
