Where did 'C' go?

Unfortunately, sometimes George and Neal's time (mis)adventures cause unforeseeable consequences. For example, in 1978, the letter/sound "c" was eliminated. As a result, people drove ars, threw things using the atapult and Neal's wife was renamed "larissa". She was not amused. Neal later fixed this anomaly, but not before his wife became so angry she called him an unt.

George and Julie were unaffected.

Cookie Monster lost 325 pounds and almost died of starvation in front of thousands of kids who only wanted to learn their ABDs because no one on Sesame Street knew what the heck an ookie was and his song didn't make any sense at all.
