A Prairie Dawn Companion - Of Smartness and Tinas
In 1973, Sesame Street introduced a new Muppet character named Tina. In 1974, Sesame Street introduced a second new Muppet character named Tina. In this episode, Becca and guest Drake Lucas talk about both Roosevelt Franklin's friend Smart Tina and the sometimes-smart Tina Twiddlebug, in an episode that is less confusing than it sounds. While neither of these characters became all-stars, they're a key part of the show's history and tell us a lot about how society views girls' intelligence.
