The Sesame Street You Remember

 

I don't know if it is an over inflated memory of when I was a kid, higher expectations built up over time, or simply that today's Sesame Street just doesn't have what it used to, but I am not a big fan of today's Sesame Street. 

I will do my best to put here links to clips of the Sesame Street you remember and love.  You can take a walk down memory lane.  And, if you have kids, bring them along for the ride.

Thing is, I'm so much more familiar with the new stuff, based on my kid's influence, that I forget what it used to be like. I don't remember Gordon being bald, as an example. Elmo's new, of course.

Anyway, great lens!

Found your lens via my Jim Henson lens. I couldn't agree more! The new Sesame Street is missing something essentially vital to what made it so great in the first place: Jim.
