Mississipi banned Sesame Street in the 70s!
Often shows receive critisism for being too racist. In 1970 Mississippi, it received critisism for being too racial. The show had been cast with a conscious effort to have a diverse group of actors and according to some legislators, “Mississpipi was not yet ready” for an integrated cast. However, pressure from national news coverage compelled the state to reverse it's decision.
The show was also at one point slammed for having strong, single female characters. That critisism was ignored, thankfully. However, when the National Organization for Women complained the show was too male-oriented, the character Susan was changed from housewife to nurse.
