About the only thing I remember.

Ironically, Sesame Street is one of the first things that awoke my inner conservative. When you're a little kid, differences don't matter for much; you'll play with anyone and hang out with anyone. But I pretty quickly got confused by the way Sesame Street always forces everyone into capital-G "Groups" and then hammers home the point that "we're all the same anyway." When you're four years old, that crap doesn't compute; I know we're all the same, so why are you telling me that I have to both pigeonhole these people based on their "differences" and ignore the differences at the same time?

It took a while for me to grow up enough to figure out just what was wrong with that argument, but I never forgot how weird it was to me when I first experienced it.

Also, Elmo sucks. Thank God they didn't come up with that thing until after I'd grown out of my Sesame Street phase.

I was just two months shy of being an 8 year old when
SS first debut in October of '69. Probably about two plus
years past the target age that PBS had intended.

Still I and my friends watched plenty of it in the early
days. Guess it made us feel a bit superior knowing that we
had been counting for years and could even recite the
Alphabet backward(can't do either today).

Loved Burt & Ernie, Big Bird, Grover and Cookie Monster.
Even remember most of the early human cast, though most of
their names escapes:

The fellow from the Mitch Miller Choir singing "Good
Morning Star shine".

The main character/host. An Afro-Am male who kinda led
you through the neighborhood.

Also, his lady friend who seemed to have a way of making
order out of chaos. Like keeping Oscar the Grouch from
getting out of hand. Oscar was a nasty little muppet
who live in a garbage can and was alway looking for ways
to screw over other muppets and people.

Give me a few minutes and i'll come up with more....JJ61
