"You know youd made it to the point of mass commercial success
when they called and said the muppets want ya to perform on their street"
189 emmys and 11 grammys is a shitload of hardware and 1/2 a century is a lot of days and shows
Kudos to the muppets, their creator, pbs, and everyone involved in the show and well done documentary
If more peeps lived their lives in a simple manner becoming of that hood
we'd all live in a better place
I lived on Okinawa from age 1/2 to 4 years, moving back to the states in late 1969. I was enthralled with the american cartoons like Rocky and Bullwinkle and Mr. Peabody, etc.
Then, when Sesame street came along, my life was really put in order.
Sometimes I think that my disappointment on how this nation/world has evolved, is because of all the hope and positivity that shows like Sesame street created for me.
I got a little bit of many of those characters in me still.
Oscar comes to mind.
Grover, Bert and Ernie, Big Bird, the Count...

Man just got the "Roosevelt Franklin's Elementary School" song in my head.
What happened to Roosevelt Franklin on Sesame Street?
Quote:
Despite significant popularity, he was dropped from the cast following letters complaining of a negative African-American stereotype, and because his rowdy elementary school did not set a good example for children.

The first episode aired in 1969. I was 10. To be honest, I don't think that I ever watched Sesame Street. By age 10, I was into shows like Speed Racer, Sandy Foxx, Gigantor, and all the Looney Tunes. I loved Wiley Coyote,
Road Runner and especially Thunderbirds.
