In 1991, “Police” fans Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon annoy “Saturday Night Live” host Sting by singing all of his hit songs on a long elevator ride with him.

In 1993, It turns out for public TV “itʹs not easy being purple” either. GLAAD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) reports that Pentecostal radio evangelist Reverend Joseph Chambers is distributing a pamphlet called “The Purple Messiah,” in which he claims that the dangerous CULT LEADER “Barney the dinosaur is straight out of the new age and the world of demons and devils…Barney is teaching kids that we must accept everyone as they are — whether theyʹre homosexuals or lesbians.” Not only that but Sesame Streetʹs Bert and Ernie are “two grown men sharing a house — and a bedroom! They share clothes…eat and cook together…vacation together and have effeminate characteristics. In one show, Bert teaches Ernie how to sew. In another they tend plants together. If this isnʹt meant to represent a homosexual union, I canʹt imagine what itʹs supposed to represent.” Naturally, GLAAD/LA Executive Director Lee Werbel, finds the wrong Reverend Chambersʹ surrealism preposterous. “First of all, we are talking about muppets, not humans, therefore, sexuality is not an issue. Secondly, if sexuality were an issue wouldnʹt we want to teach our children diversity and the importance of eliminating stigma, fear and bigotry. These characters are a vehicle for entertainment and education. Itʹs absurd to debate the sexuality of Bert and Ernie who are non-human and accuse Barney for being a cult leader because he advocates for the inclusion of all people.” [Authorʹs note: Every now and then after Ernie pulls Bertʹs nose off, Bert wants to be held, while Ernie would rather be “felt.” Lambchop remains a cotton/polyester blend sock.]
