Did you watch Sesame Street when you were little?

I think Sesame Street helped me to learn and understand different feelings and emotions, and what they usually look like.

Sketch I was describing earlier: https://youtu.be/8326qVh9yek

Just the other week I saw an internet video of Oscar and Grumpy Cat together. It was funny and adorable.

It turns out even Oscar thinks spitting hairballs on shoes is too gross.

Loved Sesame Street. It captivated my attention far more intensely than interacting with my family did. Also, Mr. Rogers, Kaptain Kangaroo and Electric Company. TV was and still is hypnotic and mesmerizing to me.

When I was probably 19 years old I was in a local restaurant/pub that my friends and I used to hang out at to drink coffee and smoke cigarettes. We where there one Halloween night and in walked two people in fantastically realistic Ernie and Bert costumes down to orange and yellow muppet-like gloved fingers, heads and exact clothing. They ordered bottles of beer, sat down at a table facing each other, didn't say a word, leisurely drank their beers, got up and left. It was awesome.

Yes I did as much as I watched Barney and Carmen San Diego!

No. I was born 21 years before their first episode.

Yes, I loved Bert and Ernie

i didn't watch it when I was a kid. It wasn't available in our local television then.

Yes.

I watched a bit of it. I remember watching Elmo’s world more though

Yes.

yeah I did...

and I am sad to hear that it is likely being moved to hbo...it was supposed to be a public childrens program, but now people will have to pay an HBO subscription to stream it. I do find that pretty messed up, as it was always meant as a program all children could tune into regardless of economic status. So I find it messed up they are moving it to HBO rather than keeping it on public stations.

It was part of our primary school curriculum in the early 1970s

I sure did. I still love the “hip to be a square” music video thing I saw in it! Haha

I've been watching episodes of sesame Street when it first aired in 1969.

Oscar the Grouch was orange!

Gordon still had hair!!

The first Muppets who were part of the main cast were Oscar, Big Bird, Bert and Ernie. Other Muppets were the Anything Muppets. They could be dressed up to look like almost anything, which is how they got their name.

The first season episodes focused more on the humans and the cartoon between the "street" ones, and they'd repeat themselves at least two or three times during the hour-long shows. They soon created more Muppet characters because they were the most popular with the viewers.

But it was nice to see good ol' Mr. Hooper. I was still pretty young when he died.
