A childhood staple on The Street.

Sesame Street. I remember it as a child and now I am reliving the show through Keegan. It's amazing to see a show that has held kids interest for so long, it's in its 40th year to be exact. I remember Gordon from 20 plus years ago (and did you know that Gordon isn't his real name? I just learned that) and today, Gordon is still going strong on The Street. Gordon was always the "main man" when I watched as a child. Gordon's real life son was even one of the characters for several seasons, but now Miles is played by another little boy. Some of the characters have come and gone and some of the residents on The Street are new, but that's expected...have to liven up the show every now and then. I am most amazed by the celebrity guests they have on the show every day. From Cameron Diaz to Kobe Bryant, Christina Applegate, Jimmy Fallon, Anderson Cooper, yummy Adrian Grenier, and even Michelle Obama-lama-ding-dong; it's nice to see that Hollywood respects Sesame Street as much as you and I. Watching Sesame Street with Keegan brings me back to my childhood days. I find myself watching just as intently as Keegan does. Even though I am older, I am still entertained by the magic of the "muppets" (Man, Jim Henson was a genius). I am confident in the issues addressed and the lessons that Sesame Street teaches and I know that my child is learning from the confines of Elmo's World, Sounds on the Street, and the everyday life on The Street. I'm glad that Sesame Street is still around and I hope its still around for my grandchildren to learn from. My favorite Sesame Street character? Grover, by far. Super Grover to the rescue! Although I do love me some Bert & Ernie quirky antics. My husband likes Oscar the Grouch best. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?
