I personally find it funny how Sesame Street and just decided to make "the first homeless character" but Oscar the Grouch has been living in a trash can for over 50 years

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Well thanks to a Sesame Street movie called Elmo In Grouch Land, I can tell you that Oscar’s trash can is way bigger on the inside. Seriously, it’s connected to another world full of Muppets who are just like Oscar!

[@kylemorello4787]

Read my other replies to comments like that one to see how I don't think he's homeless. I can't wait for the day a homosexual character is introduced on the show, just to see everyone's reaction to that. You know what I'm talking about. Bert: (sighs) Why me? Ernie: Oh boy! (facepalms)

[@kylemorello4787]

@Amber it's fine. I feel the same way. Arthur revealed that Mr. Ratburn was gay too recently. When you say Clifford, do you mean the new one on Prime? Anyway, I would definitely love for this show to introduce homosexuality, even if it would be unfortunately risky. Like I said, I just hope people won't make jokes how Bert and Ernie beat that character to it if it does happen.

[@svgarcvbes7560]

@@kylemorello4787 I was first introduced to what LGBT meant when I was around 8 or 9. I was watching a show, but since I didn’t understand it very well, I was really confused, so I told my mom. My mom then told me that it was disgusting and that God made the opposite genders to be together, not one of the same. Now looking back on that, it seems like she was being a bit sexist since a Christian can be transgender without it being controlled. It reminds me of racism since LGBT people shouldn’t be treated any different way from others. I hope more people can eventually understand this, which is why I agree with this.

Big Bird and Elmo are the characters that most children watching the show identify with, being children themselves. Thus, kids can better relate to them.

Probably because he's the mascot and main character of Sesame Street.

That last one actually made me feel sad. It's actually kind of sad seeing these characters go through so much emotional pain even in a show that's usually bright and cheerful. But honestly, I think approaching a dark subject like death in such a way is actually a good way to teach kids about it. Because it demonstrates just what happens when someone dies and how their families deal with the loss. Death is just one of the things kids need to learn about in order to understand the world better.

[@masonmontoya9631]

Yeah I agree with you. As someone you lost a love one last year I was angry and like just asking why why now why did they have to go.

I'm in my twenties and I will never, ever not love Sesame Street. It is one of the best things on television and would gladly watch it with anyone. Their dedication to teaching children and even parents about some of the most difficult things in life deserves an incredible amount of respect. I personally recommend watching "When Families Grieve" if you're going through a hard death even if you're an adult because the care, love, and wisdom put into this show can touch any generation. You're able to see the effect of Uncle Jack's death not only on Elmo and Cousin Jessie, but also his wife Jill and his brother Louie, and even Elmo's mom (who I can't remember the name of). It's raw and honest, and it is so wonderfully sobering to see that. Also Strider, I want footage of you being chased by an emu.

I don’t know if either of these guys talked about this movie but, I’m going to talk about it here in the comments. I remember this older Sesame Street movie called Follow That Bird. Big Bird ( if I remember correctly) is invited to have parents and goes to live with the Dodos. When he goes he’s actually very sad and the movie alone is kind of depressing if you think about it. Big Bird is later kidnapped ( I think ) by two dudes and he is used for money. Bird’s recolored from yellow to blue and always sad when people go to see him at a circus. Bird does manage to befriend a few people but the people he befriends only have about 10 minutes of screen time. He does get rescued in the end. I feel like the movie itself is very sad and felt like I had to comment about it. I forgot to mention that the Dodos lived far away from Sesame Street and that really affected Snuffy. The Dodos are also kind of abusive. When Big Bird complained about wanting to go home, the Dodos ignore what he says and reply with, “ but this is your home “ the Dodos also ignored Bird. And when Big Bird describes Snuffy to the Dodos, the Dodos make fun of Snuffy and tell Bird to find a different best friend who is a bird like them. Sorry for the long comment. I just found the movie kind of sad.

Sesame Street shows all of these issues from a kids point a view, and kids watching are able to feel represented and learn how to help their friends going through it.

I babysit for a lot of families and when the younger kids want to watch Sesame Street all of the other older kids stop what they’re doing to watch it too, I of course do too.
