Today, Sesame Street released its parody of HBO’s True Blood, which is fittingly called “True Mud.” As you may have guessed, the sketch is about a stranger who orders “true mud,” raising suspicions that he’s a grouch. The writers over on Sesame have always been quite deft at providing entertainment for parents while keeping their children entertained and educating them. Click through to watch “True Mud” and 10 more spoofs of hit TV shows — from “Mad Men” to “Desperate House Plants,” some of their very adult choices might surprise you.
“True Mud”
Sparing children and their potentially concerned parents from vampire sex and violence, Sesame Street switches blood for mud and vampires for grouches. We still get the “stranger in town” vibe, plus a quick rhyming lesson.

Twin Beaks! You missed Twin Beaks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vftf8TTve4s
You also missed “Cereal Girl!”
And what about the scene where the Count and Susan Sarandon have a car breakdown in a rainstorm, and they have to stop at a nearby castle to use their phone, and they have to count the number of times they knock on the castle door? Let’s not forget “Meal or No Meal”, hosted by a Muppet doppleganger of Howie Mandel. Finally, the dude clad in a white t-shirt & blue jeans with a red bandana tucked in the back pocket standing in a barnyard singing “Barn In the USA”. And Twin Beaks was part of a larger parody–Monsterpiece Theatre, hosted by Alastair Cookie.
I was so hoping TWIN BEAKS would show up. It is pitch-perfect.
Not a TV parody, but “Nine Inch Snails” was pretty epic.
