Sesame Street is turning 40 in November -- Download 40 Years Coloring Sheet!
WOW! Has it been 40 years, already? It's hard enough to believe that my oldest daughter is turning 16 (someone, hold me, please!) I mean, it feels like only yesterday, I can still remember her sitting in front of the television, in her Barbie pajamas (don't ask!) eating a bowl of cereal and watching her favorite cartoon, Little Bear.
[sniff]
My middle girl couldn't get enough of Pooh Bear, my son was all about the Power Rangers and my youngest daughter, well, Dora the Explorer was okay -- especially, since she pronounced it, "Do-wuh the Explo-wuh!" -- but, I still cannot seem to wrap my head around the Doodle Bops, who I did NOT link to, only because they've got some really, REALLY LOUD music on their website and, well, mommy's ears are tired.
[shiver]
However, I am proud to admit that all 4 of my children are PBS Kids (me, too) as, I believe there are many benefits to watching good quality television programs -- especially, for families who perhaps lack access to educational resources we take for granted.
My twin brother and I learned to speak English watching children's television shows like, Sesame Street and The Electric Company (My parents immigrated from Hungary during the 1956 Revolution) in fact, these programs were the closest to a preschool education we had, for a lot of kids, too!
Sesame Street is turning 40 (or, celebrating the 10th anniversary of their 29th birthday) with the debut of SESAME STREET: 40 YEARS OF SUNNY DAYS, a two-disc DVD set being released on November 10th from Vivendi Entertainment and Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind Sesame Street.
SESAME STREET: 40 YEARS OF SUNNY DAYS, features a wide selection of iconic segments of past and present, like:
- Ernie’s bath-time song “Rubber Duckie” (Season One), which topped the Top-40 charts for seven week
- Kevin Clash’s first episode as Elmo (Season 17)
- Maria and Luis’ wedding (Season 19)
- Abby Cadabby’s arrival on Sesame Street (Season 37)
FYI: My youngest got the chance to interview Elmo, over the summer -- check out our phone interview with Elmo!
