Nostalgia FTW!

[freakykat]

I'm pretty exhausted, you guys, lol. AND not done yet, lol.

Anyway -

So wouldbedorothy and I were having one of our nightly chats while watching the awesome The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody. Got totally nostalgic.

Which got me to thinking about the fact that Sesame Street (which I seriously think should be required viewing for all children) turned 40 years old this year. ROCK ON PBS AND SESAME STREET WORKSHOP!

That lead to a search on YT for Classic skits and that brought me here.

For the next thirty days, I will be posting a total of 40 of my favorite Sesame Street sketches to laugh about and remember. I just thought it would be a fun thing to do, lol.

And I hope you guys enjoy it, too.

We're going to start off with a total iconic classic.

::giggles::

I still know all the words to that song. That's nutty.

confession: i have never seen an episode of sesame street all the way through in my entire life. just sayin'

[freakykat.livejournal.com]

LOL.

I'm the freak who still watches the Classic episodes when they are on.

i grew up with CBS in black and white only some months of the year when the signal was good until I was about 10, and then only CBS until, uhhh, i was in college. there was no cable in my town until then, so yeah, never experienced that.

Oh wow. I'm just curious where you grew up. I used to spend the summer's in my hometown in PR - little mountain town named Yauco where there was no television (I'm so glad I've always been a reader LOL) but that's like child's play comparatively speaking, lol.

grew up in western massachusetts, so, uhh, yeah. we just weren't a rich town. we have no street lights anymore because a vote came down to the town library or street lights, and the town, thank god, voted for the library.

Sesame Street definitely should be part of every kids life!

*wonders off humming "Rubber Ducky"* I ♥ Ernie! :D

[freakykat.livejournal.com]

Yes!

\o/!

OMG YAY! Great idea! I'm excited to have a video to watch every day! :D

[freakykat.livejournal.com]

OMGYAY! I am, too, lol.

[spike7451.livejournal.com]

I've never seen Sesame Street, I was 18 when it started, but I do know this one. :)

[freakykat.livejournal.com]

Not one? Awww...well, now you can enjoy some of them!

Everybody knows Rubber Ducky!!!!!!!!!

I miss the Sesame Street of my childhood. I'm not familiar with these new newfangled characters. I just want my pinball countdown. I DNW Elmo or his crayon world.

BTdub, speaking of Bert and Ernie, don't know if you've seen the jem that is the epic I'm On a Boat parody.

[freakykat.livejournal.com]

I love Classic Sesame Street! Although Elmo is actually part of the older stuff. He's been around AT LEAST since before 1985.

He just didn't hit it big until the 90's, lol.

And yeah - I don't want Elmo's Crayon World.

Oooooh! ::off to watch::

Watched B&E On a Boat. Omg. Lol, damn, that really worked.

:D:D:D:D:D:D

[fraserette.livejournal.com]

love it!

If you find the pigs that know when to walk, and don't walk I will worship you!

And of course any of Oscar singing to slimey!

No blue big bird.. I WEEP over that! I'm so emo over that movie that I wanna throw up!

[freakykat.livejournal.com]

I came across this one! Is this the one you were talking about? If it is...just for you! ::lol::

I've been searching like CRAZY for any clip of Oscar and slimey. ::sings:: It's like trying to find the Holy Grail.

Oh, "Follow That Bird" makes my heart ache every time. I can't deal with that very well. LOL.

For the win!
