Happy Birthday, Sesame Street

I had a wonderful childhood. We didn’t watch a lot of TV, but I did retain most everything I saw. I can still recite some of the skits from Sesame Street.

Sesame Street & The Muppet Show were staples. They still bring a smile to my face when I see the characters. When I was little, Cookie Monster was my favorite. As I got a little older, Grover. Any surprise? They are both blue after all. The Count always scared me and continues to give me the creeps, but he no longer haunts my dreams like they did when I was little.

Thank you, Children’s Television Workshop, but especially to Mr. Jim Henson. Sesame would be nothing without the Muppets that you and your team created. Thank you Mr. Caroll Spinney for truly being the one and only heart of an eternal 6-year-old Big Bird.
