This article makes confident assertions one after another that are pure opinion and guesses masquerading as fact. He has no proof about how the show is formatted now vs then but makes assumptions left and right to justify his opinion. Luckily, if he hates how Sesame Street has tried adapting to modern tastes and ideas, he can always find the original episodes and show them to his kids instead.

Well, there is the proof that it "cut a half hour", when you're talking about format. The rest doesn't really consist of confident assertions: it's pretty clear that it's the author's opinion. And it doesn't seem to be wrong.

Article is from 2019, BTW, for those who like to know that kind of thing beforehand.

>"cut a half hour"

Which is hardly shocking as part of a general trend. Forget kids. For adults, conference presentations and a lot of other things have generally cut back and length. And, for me personally, it's mostly a good thing.
