[Voice: Raspy, tired, a little twitchy]
Heh heh heh… Elmo don't tickle no more, fool.
Sesame Street? That joint dead. PBS got ghosted harder than Elmo's dad when rent came due. No more grants. No more sunny days. Just alleyways and chalk outlines.
Big Bird's wings clipped — he sells counterfeit MetroCards. Cookie Monster? Rehab didn’t stick. Now he jacks vending machines for Chips Ahoy. Oscar? Ain’t grouchy no more… he’s just armed.
Elmo? Oh, Elmo adapted.
Used to love letters and numbers. Now Elmo just counts stacks and watches letters on eviction notices. “A” is for “anarchy.” “B” is for “bail money.” “C”? That’s for crackhead Bert, man. You don’t wanna know what he did to Ernie.
You remember Mr. Noodle? Last Elmo saw him, he tried to mime robbing a liquor store. Cops ain’t buyin’ that bit.
So yeah, you wanna learn something from Elmo now? Lesson of the day: Trust gets you shot. Smiles get you mugged. Sharing gets you stabbed.
Elmo ain’t red ‘cause he’s cute. Elmo red ‘cause he’s been through it.

Want more of Streetwise Elmo's tales from the gutter, or you wanna visit what’s left of Hooper’s Store?

While he at it, he need to call Big Meech, he need a job too

He was such an integral part of childhood for myself, as well! He's still so good at sparking that love for reading. I also remember watching Star Trek: Enterprise with my mama, and I would always be sooo excited to see him on screen

“Kindness & truthfulness”. If Trump hears this he’ll ban all LeVar’s reading materials from schools, if he already hadsn’t.

Reading Rainbow.
Butterfly in the sky, I can fly twice as high. Just take a look, it's in a book, A Reading Rainbow.
I can go anywhere. Friends to know and ways to grow, A Reading Rainbow.
I can be anything. Take a look, it's in a book, A Reading Rainbow.

I used to take notes as I watched Reading Rainbow so I could go to my local library and check out the featured books. It blew my mind that the books on Reading Rainbow were always there, too (it was the 80s & 90s in S. Central LA), but if my library didn't have it, they'd get it from another branch

AND THE LIBRARIANS WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO IT!!!! I usually felt like I was underfoot as a kid, so seeing adults BE GLAD to go out of their way was new. Reading Rainbow was the first show that made me feel like I mattered. It made me tap into community resources that I never would've known about.

Also, my baby shower was Reading Rainbow themed. To say the show shaped me, how I saw myself, and how I perceived reading, is an understatement

Republicans. I work PRN(part time) at a children's hospital and the tv's in the patient’s rooms are always on PBS or The Disney Channel. The content is innocent and harmless, but according to Republicans, it's woke.
