Sesame Street turns 40
on November 10, 2009
Ya might say that Sesame Street has little to do with monkeys, robots and rocketships, and so it has little to do with Space Base 8. Not so, I’d say back to ya. I was four years old when my mom turned the channel to PBS and told me there was a new show we should watch. That show, of course, was Sesame Street, and it was the best show on television. For me, anyway. Sesame Street taught me just as much about humor and storytelling as it did about the difference between near and far and the letter  “J”. Without Sesame Street, would I ever have become a fan of silly looking characters doing ridiculous things? I am glad I didn’t have to find out!
So blow out the candle, Sesame Street. The whole world loves you!
I second that!!!!!
I THIRD THAT!
I loved Sesame Street as kid, even if I didn’t get to enjoy is as long as I wanted to (I wish I still had the opportunity to watch it even now as a 20 year old). And I’d have to agree, Sesame Street taught me plenty that I wouldn’t have learnt on any other show or through some book(s) or from classes at school. As repetitive as some of those songs and jingles were, it helped me learn my alphabet, how to count and the names of the seven continents.
