"They'd never get away with doing something like this today."* - Guy unaware Sesame Street has also done a 50 Shades of Gray reference and a Law & Order SVU parody.
*Not a real Youtube comment, btw... I hope...

Given how diluted the show's become now, not so much. Now if they tried a Family Guy cameo... EDIT: they also did a True Blood parody. EDIT 2: Hmmmm...how about What We Count In The Shadows starring, well, The Count? |

One of their most reoccurring segment for years was Monsterpiece Theatre
When I was a kid, I had one of the pledge drive specials taped off of TV that included a segment with Ralph Nader as "the consumer advocate in your neighborhood", when I don't think any child watching (including myself) knew who he was lol
"Put Down The Duckie" included Pee-Wee Herman, Jane Curtin, John Candy, Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman, who were most certainly meant to appeal to the adults watching, not their kids

Also, how Sesame Street watching kids at the time were watching Miami Vice when they were doing Miami Mice on the show?

I also think an interesting inversion of the "can't do anything these days" is the time a character had a friend who no one else met, to the point where everyone else thought he was imaginary. Due to concerns that kids might think adults wouldn't believe them if they told them they were being abused, the friend was eventually introduced to the rest of the cast as being real. The character was Big Bird, the friend was Snuffy and the year was 1985. If it happened now Fox News would be calling it cuck woke liberal bullshit. |

Wasn't aware about John Candy. Pee Wee's cameo was filmed on the Playhouse set, but the audience that was intended to be watching Sesame Street was definitely not the same audience Pee Wee's Playhouse was targeting lol |

Remember Sesame Street couldn’t air in a state, that I don’t recall, but you’d expect, because people weren’t ready for seeing white kids and black kids being friends.
Then glossing right passed how a Muppet somehow had AIDS, but people weren’t ready for that.
Sesame Street has always been hardcore.
