Tsk, tsk, Oscar! ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

'Sesame Street' has put out several sets of DVD's full of old sketches. These are marketed to adults who grew up with the series. Indeed, each collection features a warning about their supposed unsuitability for today's children.

You should buy these DVD's to help keep continued production of 'Sesame Street' afloat (even if the ol' Ses is but a ghost of what it was in our day).

Why they're deemed unsuitable for today's kids, I don't know.

Perhaps the closing credits used from 1972 to 1974 might have something to do with it.

This credit roll features a drawing of the tenements found on our favorite television alley. Numerous lovable Muppets peer at us as it scrolls down. I count no fewer than 6 appearances by Grover.

Of particular interest is the fact that the blue male Muppet who often patronizes Grover's restaurant appears to be wearing only a bra.

But the real X-rated moment arrives at the end of the scroll, where it stops on Oscar the Grouch, who appears to be humping the signpost for the Sesame Street sign.



Naughty, naughty, Oscar!
