The Jim Henson Company was excellent at that. They always approached young audiences with respect above all. That's how Sesame Street works.

Speaking of which, I saw that HBO was pulling out of their deal with Sesame Street. Should we organize like a fundraising drive for that? The idea of Big Bird being off the air...isn't okay.

Wait they're not on PBS anymore?

If I understand correctly, it was produced by and broadcast on HBO, and then broadcast on PBS a week later. I guess the number 4 and the letter T weren't paying the bills.
