Happy birthday Sesame Street!
On November 10, 2009, the longest running children’s television show will be 40 years old. You can read more about it HERE. The fictional neighborhood characters have been engaging and teaching children most of my life. I was 5 years old when Sesame Street hit our black and white, rabbit-eared television for the first time. For a compilation news coverage from multiple sources to detail the history and evolution of the show and examining how these changes have affected the relevance of the show, click HERE.
What I love about this program is that in spite of competition from other shows and other things that draw kid’s attention, Sesame Street isn’t giving up their vision that if you capture the child’s mind you can teach them has never changed. The also have a great, fun website for children of all ages. Click HERE for that link.
Today they are revamping some of their format, but their desire is ultimately to achieve the same results.
Just for fun, play along with me and tell me who your favorite character of all time is from Sesame Street. I’ve created a fast, two question survey.

Did you watch Sesame Street when you were younger? Do you watch it today? Do your kids?

We DO watch Sesame Street and we all have our favorites! Keeghan loves Ernie, Kennedy loves Zoe, Kameron loves Grover… Super Grover, specifically… Kassidy… well… Kassidy is ALMOST a preteen so I won’t tell you that she bought a stuffed Big Bird when we went to Sesame Place this Summer. As for me, I’m an Elmo fan. I know, he wasn’t around when we were kids, but he’s so cute! LOL We’ll see who Kellsey attaches too eventually!
Have you ever read “The monster at the end of this book”? LOVE that story! Ahhh… Sesame Street… so many good memories! 🙂
