Stuff I Watched as a Kid, Part 1: THE BATTY BAT!!!!!

[tempested_bird]

I did like Sesame Street as a kid. I especially loved The Count and Placido Flamingo (yes, I've had a thing about horror and opera ever since I was very small) And this one was my probably my favourite Sesame Street song ever. The little dancing bats did me in every time...

Oh classic 70's and 80's sesame street. Quality programming. Compared to some of what I see for kids know, this is positively genius stuff.

Indeed. Indeed. I miss the days when children's television was actually worth a damn. I loved that children's programming in our era actually had some friggin' culture (by culture here, I'm meaning "the arts") attached to it.

I know--since Hensons have largely moved out of it--the intellectual content and the relationship to adult pop culture has totally gone away--and most of what has replaced Lambchop and classic Sesame Street is vapid.
