Hey, did you know that the muppets are actually puppets? Yeah, they're not really monsters and animals! They're felt with people's hands up their asses!

It wasn't Michael Jackson himself annoyed, it was the lawyers.
$500! bahah I SEE IT I WORTH IT MWHAHA

Sesame Street is always showing their old clips— when did they stop showing Kermit on there? When i watched it, the Muppet show was over and done (I think… maybe I'm wrong about the original air date of the Muppet Show) and he was on there in bits as an on-the-spot reporter. I didn't know they yanked those.

I accidentally hit the lol button. I meant win I swear!

And, only kids can see Snuffleupagous. So if you can still see him, you are a kid at heart.

Sesame Street followed by The Electric company were the mainstays of my childhood afternoon entertainment.

Counting to 10 and saying the alphabet is all James Earl James needs to do. The power of his voice commands the information into your head. Congratulations, young Sesame Street viewers, you now have knowledge.

Roosevelt Franklin actually seems kinda cool. I don't really see it as offensive.

True story: every time I hear “Let It Be”, I sing “Letter B”, thanks to Sesame Street.

Elmo Kazan named names.

#6 wow

I heard that even Michael Jackson thought the lawsuit was hideous and settled for a dollar or something? (I went to the anniversay talk in the Brooklyn museum 2 years ago and several key sesame streeters were there).

Wow. I knew all of these. I feel old…

I swear, kids who watch Sesame Street regularly end up as more solid adults than those who don't. Someone please do the tedious, expensive research to back me up here.

One of the many joking names staff named the show “The Itty-Bitty, Nitty-Gritty, Little Kiddie Show” until “Sesame Street” stuck.

I had no idea Cookie Monster had a name. I'll never think of him the same way again.
