Bert and Ernie are living in 2018, but 70s and 80s Canadian kids were already there with Mr. Dressup and his non-binary puppet friend Casey.

@evilchili Judith Lawrence, the puppeteer, created the characters and it's really cool that he was on board with no pronouns for Casey.

@Canageek i grew up on sesame street with the Spanish/French content edit, Mr Dressup, Sharon, Lois & Bram and Raffi. Never cared for the Friendly Giant though. That giraffe wasn't fooling anyone.

@eliasg wow, I *did* forget Charlotte Diamond! I spent too much time down Fred Penner's place I guess.

@evilchili @Canageek lol, the scale of the friendly giant always confused me. compare the sizes of gerome, rusty, and the rocking chair--wtf was going on with that? 😛
