I remember watching Sesame Street when it first came on in the sixties. I never got that out of it, nor do I think that was the original intent. Not everything was supposed to carry some sort of sexual or political undertone. I guess I viewed them more like Oscar Madison and Felix Unger from the Odd Couple.
