The premise of Sesame Street is simplicity itself: on a street in a big city, various grown-ups, children, monsters, animals and other strange creatures live together, work together, solve problems together and have fun together. The fact that it's still going strong after nearly 40 years must tell you something about its quality and the love audiences feel for it.
The Sesame Street I knew was the one of the late 80's/ early 90's - well before the meteoric popularity of Elmo and before Sesame Street got expanded around the corner, where the leads were of course Bert and Ernie, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster and Telly Monster, the Count ... all of them household names and I'm barely scratching the surface. And then there's the grown-ups, who always manage to teach and guide without ever being condescending or demeaning to their young audience.
My main point? It doesn't get better than this. Thank you for Sesame Street, Jim Henson and company, you've made the world a little bit better each day. Now, one more thing - who DOESN'T know the theme tune?
