Early Sesame Street dvds are tagged with an Adults Only sticker:
The producers of Sesame Street have slapped volumes 1 & 2 of the eternally running children's show with the following warning: "These early 'Sesame Street' episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child." Why? Cookie Monster carries a pipe in one recurring parody—and then eats it. Oscar the Grouch is too grouchy and mean. And in the first episode, a grown man—Gordon—asks a little girl to come home with him for milk and cookies... and she does!
The horror! We're obviously thinking of the children....

My wife disbelieves in Elmo. I believe in Snuffleupagus.
I have a soft spot for Grover because of "The Monster At The End Of This Book" that entertained both my kids for years.
