That one show we all grew up with. And I mean all of us regardless of age considering it’s been running for the past four decades. We know the opening theme song by heart. Sunny day, chasing the clouds away! Even now I sing it to myself specifically to keep from biting someone’s head off. Maybe because it reverts my mind back to when I was young and carefree and did not have to deal with adulthood on a daily basis.
We learned to count from that animated sequence that shows a pin ball hitting the numbers one to twelve. And learned the difference between near and far thanks to Grover’s demonstration. And sang along to the rubber ducky song.
We know that spiel they go into after each episode. Sesame Street has been brought to you today by the letter C and the number 7. Sesame Street is a production of the Children’s Television Workshop.
So from all of us kids who spent our afternoons with Big Bird, Kermit, Ernie, Bert, Oscar the Grouch, and the rest of the characters that were as much a part of our childhood as scraped knees and climbing trees:
Happy birthday Sesame Street!
