(Specifically: the Sesame Street is obviously bogus as the discontinuity claim makes no sense - of course TV station type correlates with stuff - and is implausibly high compared to the actual RCTs on early-childhood education; and the 16 And Pregnant claim seems to be falsified by continued drops in pregnancy rates even after it went off the air http://www.vox.com/2014/8/20/5987845/the-mystery-of-the-falling-teen-birth-rate )
