My Favorite Sketch

I’m assuming you’re all getting a whole lot of Sesame Spam today, and that’s as it should be. I’ve been considering the best way to add my voice to the love, but to tell the truth, bottledgoose pretty much covered it.

So let me just say that, 40 years ago today, the first episode of the one of the greatest TV shows ever aired—a show created by geniuses in which a cast of people of all races and backgrounds* would kids in an organized, intelligent way that would entertain them and—and this is the really genius part, the part that so few kids’ shows seem to grasp—entertain their parents.

Happy anniversary, you wonderful show, and stay the hell away from that crazy W.

*You find very few places for the fuzzy blue people.
