"Unsuitable for Toddlers"

Carol-Lynn Parente, the executive producer of "Sesame Street" [said] Alistair Cookie and the parody "Monsterpiece Theater." ... played by Cookie Monster, used to appear with a pipe, which he later gobbled. According to Parente, "That modeled the wrong behavior"

As a result, the first and second seasons of "Sesame Street" (now out on DVD) have been deemed "unsuitable for toddlers"

<sigh>
