:Bert and Ernie... while not gay, are still two adult men who live together, which looks very suspicious and at the very least will create the impression that this is a normal arrangement. As for spongebob, no idea - someone else made that accusation on another page, I just repeated it here. I would never watch such rubbish. Also, you are right about them  being over-commercial - but that's a completly seperate concern. [[User:NewCrusader|NewCrusader]] 13:04, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

::I'm an elementary teacher with a small child so I'm exposed to much more children's TV than I could care for.  PBS has really good stuff, concentrating mostly on education and character development.  I must disagree with you about Bert and Ernie.  They are not adults, they play with toys and do other childish things.  According to the PBS website, they're just friends.  Besides, by the time a kid is old enough to know what a gay couple is, they wouldn't be watching Sesame Street anymore.  Commercial TV runs the guantlet from educational to absolutely moronic.  Some people don't like Sponge Bob because they think he's effeminite, but I don't see it.  Sure there's liberalism in many shows, but there's also conservatism.  It's up to the PARENTS to monitor what their kids are watching.  And if you ever want to see a hilarious take on Bert and Ernie's relationship, check out the broadway play 'Avenue Q.'  Thanks.
