I couldn't resist copying today's delightful Google doodle, since it won't be there tomorrow. It celebrates the 40th birthday of Sesame Street, the children's TV program that teaches important things like letters and numbers. In today's library orientation class I asked the students (mostly 18-year olds) offhand how many of them had watched Sesame Street when they were young. Almost every hand went up. Long live Big Bird!

(( grin )) I do love Big Bird!!! Last Friday night (for Halloween), Jimmie Kimble wore a Big Bird costume -- his walk out on stage and his deadpan expressions were just fine. All of his band and the sidekicks also wore different Sesame Street character costumes.
Happy Birthday to ya, Big Bird ....
I grew up watching it too and I am the same age as SS, it was my FAVORITE Show ever!!
I was happy to see their website lets me view little videos featuring my favorite characters, Bert and Ernie.
They gave me a really great laugh one time when I happened to see them do a skit. I don't know what it was but it was extremely funny. I was way old when they came on the scene, and I do get the Sesame Stree characters confused with the Muppets.
