For those who need a citation - from the current issue of TV Guide (pg 53):
OK, Cookie Monster: Put your little blue hands up and back away from the ginger snaps. An epidemic of childhood obesity is sending the voracious cookie inhaler into rehab for the show's 36th season. "Cookie Monster is going to learn a lot," says Rosemarie Truglio, vice president of research and education at Sesame Workshop, producers of Sesame Street.
The article goes on to say that other shows for kids are making similar changes.
So, perhaps CM isn't literally checking into the Betty Ford Clinic, but they're going to be emphasizing a healthy lifestyle message on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I think that being "Bran Monster" might finally explain those googly eyes, though....
