adjl 04/28/20 2:29:48 PM #11:	That said, getting Sesame Street episodes a few months later isn't that much of a disadvantage. Sesame Street doesn't really have the kind of social significance that's needed for kids to feel left out for seeing the episode after all their friends, and it's not like older episodes are any less educational. Last time I checked, C is still for "cookie," and that's good enough for me. --- This is my signature.
