Sex & Nudity

  • A little kid's buttocks were seen at the beginning and a baby's penis was briefly seen at the end of the 'This is How We Take a Bath' song in the early 90s, especially in a Global Grover segment in 2003.
  • A child's buttocks were briefly seen in the bathtub during the 'Let's Go Tubbin' song in the early 90s.

Violence & Gore

  • Sesame Street teaches children violence is not the answer.
  • Characters occasionally fall down and hurt themselves. Cuts, scrapes, bruises, etc. are never shown on-screen, but sometimes characters have to apply bandages. It is meant to be educational, as one can learn what to do if someone ever gets hurt.

Profanity

  • Sometimes anti-autistic slurs. Racial slurs.
  • Essentially never.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The series is well-known for going over topics that other children's shows were afraid to go over at the time. Examples including understanding the death of a loved one, and divorce.
  • For preschoolers/kids and up.
  • None/Mild in a lot of episodes.
  • Moderate in some episodes.
  • Older segments may be scary to young people but post 1990- has none at all.
