There's a Birthday On Sesame Street...

November 01, 2010

Happy Birthday Sesame Street! Sesame Street premiered on November 10, 1969. It is one of the longest running children's programs on television, as well as being the longest running series broadcasted on PBS. Children, for the last 40 years, have been learning with the Sesame Street Muppets. Which Sesame Street muppet is your favorite? Ernie, Bert, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Elmo, or Mr. Snuffleupagus? I myself have always been rather fond of Cookie Monster, and his catchy tune, "C is for Cookie."
