    Bert and Ernie and chronic insomnia

    Two favorites: First: Ernie can't sleep. Bert tells him to count sheep. Ernie imagines each sheep jumping. Each time one jumps, it "Baaa's." Bert hears each "baa," and asks Ernie to count something else. So he counts fire engines. Of course, each one makes a loud siren! Third, Ernie...

    Your Sesame Street Era

    I was born in 19870, and SS was a staple in our home. I would actually enjoy watching it through high school, and even at times into college. But once the format changed, I couldn't tollerate it anymore. You see, the old format spoke to both adults and children. The new format seemed to...

    In the Christmas Eve episode, Hooper wishes Bob a merry Christmas. Bob responds by saying, "Happy Hanukkah." Was this because Hooper was Jewish, or was it a way to reach out to the Jewish viewers?

    Cookie Monster's overdone saying...

    Jessica, The brilliance of SS is that it speaks on two levels. It is meant to be watchable by adults who are in the room. A little child most likely won't understand the inuendos (sp?). But you will! I must say, however, that SS used to be much better at this. I find now that the shows...

    Remember the wonderful chemistry among the humans?

    Growing up, the human characters on SS had lots of great interactions among themselves. They were a family. They were my family. They spoke with us, not down to us. I don't get that feeling anymore.
