It’s hard to believe Sesame Street is as old as it is, and still kicking. Today marks the beginning of its 40th season, with Michelle Obama as the guest, talking about healthy eating, amongst other things. It’s crazy knowing there are literally over 4000 episodes of Sesame Street, providing quality television for young children now for generations of people. I learned to count to 10 in Spanish from Sesame Street, amongst all the other things. This is a show that taught kids it was alright to be different, that reading is fun, and that playing outside is good for you…oh, and cookies are yummy.

By the way, I still enjoy seeing celebrities go on Sesame Street. You can always tell that they have fun with it, even though they’re standing next to muppets.
Brooke and I were hoping to ask for Sesame Street DVDs for Christmas this year, but at least on Amazon, it looks like you can only get DVD sets for the really early years, and some Elmo-specific compilations. So if you run across any collections from the 80s, let us know. That, or they’d make excellent baby shower gifts. 🙂
