...how to get to Sesame Streeeeeeeeeet! :whistle:

Yesterday I watched a number of Sesame street skits, new and old, and ran awash with many fond memories of cute humorous monsters emboldening me with knowledge, making light of homelessness, and coping with delicious addictions. Ripe with celebrity appearances and characters that last a lifetime, it was the perfect educational aid for developing young kids, adults who are kids at heart, or people who are totally blazed.

There were awesome animated songs

Pinball counting song
Ladybug's picnic

Rad celebrity appearances

NPH makes everything better!
Jack Black's octogon, featuring Elmo

The ever lovable cookie monster

Arriverderci FROG
The library drug deal

And Big Bird coping with loss

Poor chicken...


Did you watch this show while growing up? What are your favorite moments and memories associated with the letters C, D, and T? Were there other kids shows or characters that caught your attention? Let's reminisce!

    Before I forget, one of the greatest completely non-sensical kids shows of all time, Pingu!

    Dude's got skills

    There's a french canadian show where three colour clay blobs go about adventures. Two of the blobs are complete dicks to the third who's slow and torment him half the show. Great for 5am though!

    A lot of British 80s cartoons (and they were great) were actually European/Japanese collaborations

    How about some kid friendly bears?

    Paddington!

    I remember reading a bunch of Paddington bear books along with Richard Scarry's work and Robert Munsch. They actually progressed to a high level for that age and offered a fun challenge and world with which to become enthralled.

    I watched a lot of this as a kid

    I don't want to see it again, though, because I have a feeling that it is far worse than nostalgia would have me believe

    I don't know how many of you remember the earlier days of Sesame Street, but the count used to have a different laugh. When it became the notable "AH, AH, AH, AH!" it was an interesting shift.

    Old Count laugh

    Of the cartoons from your childhood, Spider-man is one of the ones least likely to be disappointing.

    the opening is the only good part of any 90's marvel cartoon

    really they were pretty damn awful

    (about as good as the comics were, if not worse)

    If you're Canadian, this will hopefully be an early memory for you growing up. Ernie Coombs was a great man for Canadian children everywhere.

    So productive, creative and kind!

    I like that the lyrics to the spider-man cartoon were just 'spider-man, spider-man, radioactive spider-man'

    and then awesome 90's guitar riff
