Doesn't have the ring of "An American in Paris" (or even "An American at Opera") but what can you do?

If you weren't already feeling old

Yesterday I told you about Wallace and Gromit's 20th birthday. And I gave you a link to Google's UK home page.

In the comments folks seemed surprised that it had been 20 years since their first appearance. I was too to be honest. :smile:

Well, Google now has another holiday logo up and this time it's Sesame Street's 40th anniversary :faint:



So yeah, I'm feeling kinda old.

Anyway, here's a classic moment I remember from (what I'm beginning to realise is a distant) childhood.

Another one, after my time, but I recall it being on the news when Joe Raposo's death was announced.

And finally, just because it was in the results when I searched for "Sesame Street Google"

Happy Birthday Sesame Street :hat: You may be 40, but you've never gotten old.

Careful hungry, you're dating yourself.

hungryghost 5. November 2009, 23:48

Too late now, I'm afraid.


and off topic here, I wish Opera would fix the bug that makes posts you've already read pop up on your news list...
grrrrr

You didn't watch it when you were a child? There is a Japanese version.

Some people do believe that any television is bad for children, but I think Sesame Street is ok.
