I have recently renewed my love for Sesame Street. Growing up with only six TV channels, the only choice for anything remotely entertaining for a child on Sunday mornings was Sesame Street. After getting ready for church I would turn on PBS and watch till we had to leave. I know for a fact that I watched it till I was way over the viewing age limit.
In the last month I have been letting Lucy watch an episode each afternoon when she gets up from her nap. I really don't let her watch any other shows for the simple fact that I find so many of them annoying. I have to give a lot of credit to the writers of Sesame Street. They write for the adults as well as the children. I find myself actually watching with her.
Here are a few examples of what I have found so entertaining. One episode we saw had a spoof on Indiana Jones. The show featured "Texas Telly" trying to find the Golden Triangle of Destiny. Another show had a song and dance number titled "Pre-school Musical", and I watched an episode that spoofed Law and Order. On today's show they had a segment called "30 Rocks". As you can probably guess, they were spoofing Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin's show 30 Rock. What gets me is that they get the muppets to look and sound so much like the real charaters. I find myself laughing out loud while watching. Little kids are not going to get it, so thank you Sesame Street for entertaining me as well.

Did you know that Sesame Street was originally conceived as an alternative for inner city children...to keep them off of the streets and off of drungs??!!
I haven't been able to get Freya into Sesame Street yet, but I was a HUGE fan growing up.
I need to get you and michelle out of the house more often.
I need to try to get Karen off of drungs too.
December is going to be a busy month I see.
I didn't know that about the show. Interesting.
Becky, you have your hands full I'm afraid.
I happened to see the 30 Rocks "episode" on Sesame Street. Abby wanted to watch TV (which she almost never does) so I turned on Sesame Street. She left the room after a few minutes and I ended up watching by myself!!! :)
