My daughter is one year old and we don’t let her watch children’s programming on TV yet. She doesn’t even know it exists. We do however have an unused computer that she knows is her computer for watching Sesame Street videos on YouTube.

The Sesame Street channel has a great selection of videos from the history of Sesame Street. Here are some of my favorites:

Grover and John John Count 1

John John is awesome. I wonder where he is now….

School Pageant-Flower

The sigh at 2:22 is priceless. Poor Prarie Dawn.

Cripple Creek featuring Buffy Sainte-Marie:

You won’t find songs on Sesame Street today with lines like: “kiss her on the mouth, sweet as any wine, wrap myself around her like a sweet potato vine”. That’s a shame.

Kermit And Cookie Monster And The Mystery Box

“just thought it might be cookie.. off chance.”

Earth, Rain And Mud Sung By Slimey

… “you can’t hear this ‘Mr Music’ ? .. take five.”

Elmo’s Song

….”Catchy…”

Cookie Questions Prairie Dawn

“that the question lady!”

Bert and Ernie Fish Call

“heheheheh… he calls them?!”

Bert’s Lost Paperclips

I’m a sucker for John John. Give him a daytime Emmy for that performance.

Some of these are pure gold. I hate to sound crotchety but I have real doubts that the show is still this magical.
