I grew up on Sesame Street but haven't watched it since those days. I found it a great educational tool, but wondered if there is anything objectionable about it today for parents trying to raise their children in the Faith. What are people's thoughts?

I n N omine P atris, E t F ilii, E t S piritus S ancti “Let no one deceive you in any way for the day of the Lord will not come unless the apostasy come first... and the man of sin is revealed... so that he sits in the temple of God and gives himself out as if he were God.” [II Thessalonians] "3 For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: 4 And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables." [II Timothy 4:3-4] "What man is there, that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not as yet made it to be common, whereof all men may eat? let him go, and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man execute his office." [Deuteronomy 20:6] "If anyone rejects any written or unwritten Tradition of the Church, let him be anathema." [Second Council of Nicaea] "But for Catholics nothing will remove the authority of the second Council of Nicaea, where it condemns those 'who dare, after the impious fashion of heretics, to deride the ecclesiastical traditions, to invent novelties of some kind . . . or endeavor by malice or craft to overthrow anyone of the legitimate traditions of the Catholic Church' . . . Wherefore the Roman Pontiffs, Pius IV and Pius IX, ordered the insertion in the profession of faith of the following declaration: 'I most firmly admit and embrace the apostolic and ecclesiastical traditions and other observances and constitutions of the Church.'" [Pope St. Pius X, Pascendi, Encyclical against Modernism, 1908, para. #42.] http://www.wftsradio.com/ |

But seriously folks, Sesame Street is awesome. There is nothing wrong with letting your kid watch it. There may, however, be something wrong with not having them watch it.
This also applies to: Mr. Rodger's, Looney Tunes, Pee Wee's Playhouse, The Wuzzles, Eureka's Castle, Doug, Recess etc.

Loony Tunes was made for adults, not children. About Sesame Street, I think Dave Chappelle said it best; it is highly objectionable. NSFW: |

What is wrong with rapping? It's not music, it's poetry set to music. But that's a discussion for another thread. |
