Today is an exciting day for anybody under the age of five...well, and for some of us bigger people too. Today, Sesame Street launched its 35th season with the first of 26 brand new episodes! Gothamist is stoked.
For more than three decades, Sesame Street has been teaching kids letters, numbers and important life lessons. Like just the other day, Sesame Street taught us that even someone as big as Snuffy can do ballet...a message Gothamist took to heart. The show is currently filmed in Queens and its original design was based on Brooklyn Heights. Just the coexistence of the many different muppets on the street is vintage New York, a great monster melting pot. And anyone who's anyone has guested on the show, from Cher right on to Seth Green. Natalie Portman will be making milkshakes for Big Bird tomorrow while Julianne Moore stops by next Wednesday.
Some, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, argue that tv is harmful for children under 2. Sesame Street responded to this by producing a new DVD series, "Sesame Beginnings". Just released, these DVDs feature baby versions of the major characters and are targeted at children from 6 months on - look, baby Prairie Dawn! Take that, Muppet Babies!
If you don't love Sesame Street now, you did at one time and you probably will again. Gothamist hadn't really seen the show for years, but the arrival of a Gothamist baby seven months ago brought it all back. Thanks to Elmo, we actually get a shower every day! However they do it over there, we hope they keep it up. That reminds us, maybe we should contribute during the next pledge drive...we definitely owe them.

As much as I love Sesame Street, Muppets in Space is 'dat fire. Pepe the King Prawn ("I am not a SHRIMP, I am a KING PRAWN!) 'Nuff said, mmmkay.
My favorite Sesame Street segment is the cartoon of the pinballs where the singing is "One two three four five six seven eight nine ten..eleven twelve... doo doo dah." I still sing it, when I want to perk myself up.
In Israel, Oscar has a cousin, Moishe Oofnik. Just thought this was somehow relevant.

I was an "Electric Company" man myself....
"Thanks to Elmo, we actually get a shower every day!"
a little too much information, thanks.
I really wonder about all these medical studies. The latest one always seems to contradict the last one, and many of them are funded by people with some sort of intrest in the outcome - like drug companies.
I just adore four
The number for me
You can't deplore four
It's less than five, more than three
You can have four doors
Or four dinosaurs
Four janitors
Or even four grocery stores
I just adore four
The number sublime
I love to draw four
It's just an angle and a line
I can't get sore for it's plain you see
I just adore four
The number for me
Ah, yes, I used to fret a lot and fidget
Until I met that dazzling digit
And now you see a brand new me for
I found a number I can be for
And count 1, 2, 3, for (or 4)
I just adore four
The number for me
You can't deplore four
It's less than five, more than three
You can have four floors
Or four army corps
Four dresser drawers
Or even four crashing bores
I just adore four
The number sublime
I love to draw four
It's just an angle and a line
I can't get sore for it's plain you see
I just adore four
The number ...
1, 2, 3 ....
For me!
(The doctor will see you now...)
a highlight of my college life was when Gordon came to visit the nearby mall on one of my rare visits there! i love him! I got an autographed photo. Of course, my friend and I were the only adults in the line, but who cares? He looked exactly the same!
even tho I hate TV, I love Sesame Street! I used up my quota of exclamation marks, yes I did!
Actually, the Natalie Portman episode (birdseed milkshake) is an oldie. My daughter and I have seen it loads of times before.
here's a link to video of the pinball number song by the pointer sisters:
