When I first heard of Benjamin Franklin, I thought he was supposed to be a cross between Benjamin Bunny (Peter Rabbit's cousin) and Roosevelt Franklin.

His voice sounds so much deeper here than on my My Name is Roosevelt Franklin record.

Ooooh, his voice broke! What's an "Elmo" anyway?

I like how back then Roosevelt was practically the star, then he just faded and once in a while you'd see him in the background, but never hear him talk.

This is so charming and groovy! And I love Roosevelt's swirly head dance move.
I believe this was made with only good intentions.

Well, why not? and now there's President Obama, what do you think about that? ;-)

Basically, one group decided it was best for all not to see this cartoon. One groupd decided to pull the character for being deemed as offensive. And as an African American peaking on the behalf of African Americans who are not offended by this muppet... the only thing I'm offended by is that one group decided what was best for all. :-/ But ... hey, that's just MY opinion.

This was so advanced for its time ,its almost like Rosevelt Franklin was in the year 1970.

Why did Roosevelt Franklin get the boot from Sesame Street? I guess he was just too badass for the show. :)
