Yesterday was Sesame Street's 40th anniversary. And since I'm 42 years old, Sesame Street is the show I identify most with my childhood. In fact, I'm almost positive that everything I ever needed to know I learned from Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and Schoolhouse Rock.
I LOVED the entire cast ... Bob, Gordon, Maria ... and ESPECIALLY Luis, the Handyman (below)...
Aye, Papi!
I also loved Oscar the Grouch. His song, I Love Trash, became the anthem that will forever describe my dating life...
Does anyone remember THIS song, which was first shown on Sesame Street in 1969 - and later became the very first song performed on The Muppet Show? Here is the original Sesame Street version...
However, there WERE a couple of things that pissed me off about Sesame Street as a child. First of all, HOW IN THE HELL DID NOBODY SEE SNUFFLELUPAGUS (except Big Bird) UNTIL 1985?!? That drove me INSANE as a child.
And, finally, I never liked the annoying Count Von Count. Math was never my thing...
Happy Anniversary Sesame Street!
