Today I was at my local public television/public radio station doing some media with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and took advantage of a photo-op with Big Bird.
I know I am a few days late here, but I needed to do a post in honor of the 50th anniversary of Sesame Street. The show premiered on November 10, 1969. I don’t know if I watched that first episode, but I am pretty sure I started watching the show at some point during the first season on Channel 13 (WNET)
I grew up with Gordon, Susan, Mr. Hooper, Bob, Maria, Luis and, of course, Jim Henson’s Muppets. I then watched thirty years later as my kids got to know some of these same characters in addition to new residents of the neighborhood including Alan, Gabriela, and Gina. Here is a song from 1998 that brings back memories because I remember watching it (and later singing it) with my daughter Ally:
