It helped me grow. I remember going into first grade and my teacher Mrs. Warner telling everyone to make sure they watch sesame street because it helped us with our alphabets. I'm now 35 years old and when I had my son in 1994 I had him looking at sesame street also. They can never top this show no matter how many they bring out. This is the one that started it all.

No you didn't! "A loaf of bread, a container of milk...." I was like "I REMEMBER THAT!!!", to an empty house, my dogs looking at me like I'm crazy. A couple of years ago, in fond remembrance of him, I purchased a small Grover doll and put him in the back seat of my car. He was always doing something crazy (Super Grover!!) Whatever happened to those old school characters? Now they have Elmo, who I CAN'T STAND!! Seriously when I was in high school I had friends who, just like me, still watched Sesame Street for the entertainment, cause it was cute, you know? Today's "educational" programming seem to pale in comparison to Sesame Street. I mean, Teletubbies? COME ON!! Anyway, thanks for the memories. Girl!
