@OscarLangleySoryu maybe he meant sniffed it. In all seriousness sadly it's stated the production of the movie was so stressful it got the actor of Dorthy addicted to drugs. The actor of the witch was a pre-school teacher before ( or something. She had experience in education) which was how she got placed onto the show. Sadly her presence to her dismay did more harm then good. Which is cruel irony when you go back and watch the episode now since by today's standards it's below average of what scary things kids get into ( kids are into five nights at Freddie's lol).

Snuffalupagussed it you mean, surely? Judy was not treated very well in the movie. Being a child star is often a recipe for a hard life... Even now when there are more rules around what kids can and can not be expected to do while working
RE: the first one... Given how short of a time there was between segregation's death and them banning Sesame Street, it was less like Frankenstein's Monstering its corpse, and more like trying to perform CPR while someone else was calling 911.
It would be one thing if Snuffy were an elephant and only Bigbird could see him, but Snuffy is a wooly mammoth, and mammoths have been extinct for ages. Cookie monster had a substance abuse issue, the count had crippling OCD, Oscar lived in a dumpster, but was comfortable enough with it that he'd just pop out and have conversations with folks.. it was his "normal". Sesame Street had some real problems.
If I remember the story right, the episode was just mishandled. They showed it to a test audience of kids, and they went home believing that if their parents started fighting, then that meant they were going to get divorced.
It's not about taboo, they're very very careful to figure out what kids absorb from the episodes and they found they weren't handling that story well so they cancelled it
@@curtisberard7831 That the show's creators didn't handle the subject well in the script. So the kids were absorbing the wrong messages. They wrote the episode about death well. They didn't write this one well. Are you understanding what I said now?
@@OscarLangleySoryuI think part of what Curtis is saying ( and as another comment put it) is why they didn't just re-work the script to make the message clearer instead of just outright banning it. Don't keep up with Seaseme street so maybe they did do an episode later going over the subject better lol.
It is sad that they removed it. Then reviewing it to be better. It shows the truth. Could help the child understand. In turn as the child becomes adults make it more softer on their children.
1. Network executives wouldn't want to waste the money And 2. People were extremely outraged by what should be shown on TV at the time. Reading history on shows like three's company and the uphill battles they had seem ludicrous compared to what kids are exposed to now. I mean if a show aimed at a more mature audience had it that tough I could only imagine how tough kid shows had it with what stuff would need to be kept in mind. Heck remember in the 90's they even had to change Lord Zedd from the power rangers because of parent complaints lol.
This is true, kind of. He was real to Big Bird. Perceived as imaginary to everyone else. Any time Big Bird would try to convince the adults on the show that Snuffy was real they wouldn't believe him. Over time the show runners realized having adults not believe kids (Big Bird being the stand in for children) when they were telling the truth wasn't a good message to be sending to their audience.
It’s like cracked was too funny and on point. There’s no MAD CZcams channel but what? Me worry? You can’t fold a video into a completely different image. Others could, and I made a reference to mad. Cracked is the poor man’s mad. I grew up with both. They shared illustrators. I liked them both. But mad went down. Cracked turned itself into something interesting with Jack O’Brian in the lead. Doing things like interviewing the likes of cult deprograming to the amazing world of a sanitizer. The guy making your water not your problem. Now it’s just shit……
Which I don’t remember what I saw but it was a skit. And the funny part for me wasn’t the joke. I think the joke was different but a person was asked why he’s so full of chaos and he was like. Entropy. Then said the joke. The joke wasn’t funny for me. Entropy was though
I got a kick out of watching today's folks takes on TV programming from over a century ago. A different time, Era and place. Sesame street used to be on an hour the program was diverse and new. Many parts of the deep south was still very ignorant. But people today and their smug attitudes get me. In many many ways folks are still very much arrogant and just as stupid. 😅
If Sesame Street was that serious about integrating forced black culture into the series, they could have just had Snuffy's father go out for cigarettes and never come back.

The Wicked Witch episode was sponsored by the letters I and Z?! How could they have overlooked the opportunity to make the letters O and Z?!
Lawyers.
That’s why.
@@TimTE01 true, but I think The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (book not movie) was in public domain by then.
is big bird casually saying "bye witch" like a meme? because if it is not it should be.
That was super funny
The witch was played AGAIN by Margaret Hamilton, the original movie witch!! She was 74 at the time but lived until 82 while Dorothy snuffed it at 47!
snuffed it...?
u ok?
Snuffy!

Really dude.... with that last question.
Snuffy was my favorite one Because nobody but bigbird could see him 😅
They took Big Bird off drugs, Cookie Monster off cookies, Bert and Ernie off each other. Just all downward spiral of overpolicing child television
@@closethockeyfan5284 Yep! 😆

Snuffy is my spirt animal.
Sesame Street has lived through hurricane, fire and even DEATH, but divorce is too taboo?!

"Snuffy.....walks.....with...Us"
I did have a friend growing up who went by their last name and their mom even called them that
Fury?
4:52 🤣😂😅😆😅 hahahahaha
Very crazy. But to be fair in many cultures people use their last name as their first.
But Snuffy's family doesn't do that, because they all have the same last name and different first names.
@@richardhollander323 your right. I never liked that show. But maybe the old episodes are better. Loved Animaniacs.

@@atariblue Funny thing is, kids have underdeveloped brains and can often confuse reality with fantasy AKA they fib more than a politician.

@@morgainnejade I guess that's how long ago i stopped watching Sesame Street, so i couldn't have known the story changed.

Thats the point of kids tv is to teach them peril and fear amongst things.

What does that have to do with black culture

lol wut
The entire point of Sesame Street appears to be lost on you. I'm getting the impression you also oppose sex education in schools.
Gender identity forms around age six. Indeed let kids be kids. That also means letting them know they are not a freak if they are different.
@@sebcw1204 as I understand it, age 2-3 but regardless that's exactly correct. The insane thing to do is freaking out about a precious child existing.
