Sesame Street was very urban, children playing games on crowded city streets. Far away, however, there apparently was some sort of alternate Sesame universe that existed in the "Old West."
The Old West was featured prominently within Sesame programming. The atmosphere was gruff and fear was rampant. None of the law-abiding puppets wanted to cross paths with Bad Bart, Mean Manny, or especially Sinister Sam.

I don't think anybody wanted to cross paths with Forgetful Jones either, but it was for different reasons.
a lot of people, and puppets, tend to be "forgetful." But Forgetful Jones seemed to be downright brain-damaged. What COULD he remember? Birthdays? What about CHRISTMAS? and who cleaned up after Buster the Horse? How many times could Clementine possibly listen to "I FORGOT!"
Sesame Street stressed the importance of diversity. Everyone was granted equal respect, regardless of race, religion, or gender. As long as you lived ON Sesame Street itself, that is. Otherwise all bets were off. Cowboys and other "Westerners" were targeted at will.

They were almost never portrayed as intelligent. They had poor memorization skills and demonstrated little backbone.
They could not catch the Great Cookie Thief.
