I never watched Sesame Street as a child, but became hooked when my teenaged boys were small & got into Big Bird & Company. My favorites were probably Snuffleuphagus, the Yip Yips, and Burt & Ernie ...

this is an awesome milestone. I remember the first episode and how many times I watched it while babysitting in the early 70's. This show taught so many kids to read, write and do math. My favorite: Grover...doing NEAR and FAR. Running up and down toward the camera. clump, clump, clump. Love me some Grover.
