So I get the impression that Sesame Street really went downhill after the 70s. Yes? No?
Context: Just watched an episode from the “Elmo’s World” era (late 90s?), and I found it unbearable.

When they went to the embedded series format (Elmo’s World, Burt and Ernie’s claymation adventures, Supergrover 2.0 etc), a lot of that new content lost the two-level writing that both appealed to kids and had invisible-to-kids jokes for the parents.
My recommendation is to try Peppa Pig. It’s not particularly educational, but its stories and humor will appeal to both you and your son.
You just got older
