The Christmas Carol was amazing!!! We saw it in 3D - that just added to it.

It's hard to believe that Sesame Street starts it's 40th season today! And to hear that the DVD release of the original shows comes with a warning about it being mainly for adults is a surprise as well. Seems the way we did things back then is just not suitable for today's kids....


WATER COOLER CONVERSATIONS....

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the debut of Sesame Street – and with that…comes….these interesting facts:

Sesame Street is the pioneer in contemporary educational entertainment.

Sesame Street is well known for it’s Muppets characters created by Him Henson. It premiered on November 10th, 1969 – and is the longest running childrens show.

Did you know that up until the late 60’s…the use of televsion as an educational tool was “unproven” and a “revolutionary concept”.

How about the songs from Sesame Street? They really have become ‘timeless classics’. Including the shows theme song; “I Love Trash” written for Oscar The Grouch; “Rubber Duckie” written for Ernie; “Being Green” for Kermit The Frog; “C Is For Cookie” for the Cookie Monster

Sesame Street is seen in over 120 countries. It’s earned 118 Emmies, more than any other tv series.
