Sesame Street: still funny after all these years
Rediscovering Sesame Street ranks among the joys of parenthood. Not all of it, of course, but the skits have impressed me anew in the last three years. They are just downright funny. (I can't understand why they still use those dated videos in other segments, but that’s another matter.)
This “Meal or no Meal” skit had me laughing out loud. Yes, perhaps I need to spend more time with adults, but hey, I’ll return to grown-up social interaction in a few years. For now, I’ll search for laughs amid the simple pleasures of Sesame Street. There are plenty of imitators these days, some of them pretty good, but too often they are, as the saying goes, too clever by a half. Not so here. The “Meal or no Meal” show is hosted by “Howie Eatswell.” That’s funny. And clever.
