Just an odd bit of nostalgia here.Happened upon the wiki entry for Sesame Street and was drawn back to that period where the street between Mr. Hooper's store and Big Bird's nest was all that mattered.
Was surprised to see that the show got nominated for so many Emmys, but on hindsight, well deserved I think. The fact is that I've met so many people who can recall watching it, and each has their own memories triggered by the theme song, or a voiceover of one of the muppets.
Speaking of which, I went to YouTube and found a whole set of Sesame Street clips, many of which I'd never seen before, others which really brought me back years back. Some favourites are below.
Showing Big Bird dealing with Mr Hooper's death. Notable for featuring all the adults in Sesame Street together at once.
The classic opening theme song, followed by some of the major characters welcoming Spring in Sesame Street.
Ernie and his rubber ducky. Need I say more?
Ernie and Bert; my favourite combo back then. Still remember watching this sequence way back and feeling so sorry for Bert.
And another thing that made Sesame Street so popular; celebrity cameos.
See, now I've told you how to get to Sesame Street...hahahaha!
