Sesame Street

For generations, Sesame Street has been a mainstay of American children's television. But when the show premiered more than 50 years ago on Nov. 10, 1969, it was considered controversial, even radical.

So to close it out, I want to celebrate one of Sesame Street’s best self-parodies: Cookie World. Happy 50th, Sesame Street, and all these other great moments!

Parents need to know that Sesame Street is a classic preschool series renowned for its superb educational content, which supports early skills in literacy, math, and science and exposes kids to a variety of cultures through music, dance, and language.

'Sesame Street' made its TV debut in 1969, thanks to Joan Ganz Cooney. She laid out the vision, hustled the money, and assembled the creative team to create one of the most successful television shows in TV history.

I title the review as 'Rest in Peace' only because if you, like me, are a child born of the early 1980's (or earlier) that grew up with Sesame Street, then you know now, as you watch it with your children, either on Netflix or PBS in the morning, that the Sesame Street we grew up with is long gone.

Sesame Street is timeless, a timeless show if there ever was one.
