    What SST toys did YOU have as a kid?

    Boy, did we have Sesame toys! My brother and I grew up in the 1970s and early 1980s, and we had MANY SS toys! Of course, we had the 123 Sesame Street play set by Fisher Price. We also had the clubhouse, which had a conveyor belt, crazy slide, tire swing and trap door that dropped the little...

    Bob's Deaf Niece

    I saw the interview bit about Linda Bove today before an SS episode on PBS... I finally caught the piece from the beginning, so I saw the caption identifying the woman that LOOKED a lot like Linda. It WAS NOT Linda. It was a woman named Nancy something. I did not recognize the name. I am...

    Bob's Deaf Niece

    Oh, Gosh, I had no idea. I hope I didn't upset anyone by responding to an old thread. How very sad that you all had to lose a friend. Please forgive me if I upset anyone by bringing up the past. I watched SS primarily in the 1970s, and I have no recollection of Linda having an internal...

    Bob's Deaf Niece

    Linda Bove Rosewood had posted this: Was the person who played Linda actualy deaf? The reason I ask this is because the other day, as I was watching one of those brief interviews of people / celebrities who's lives have been effected at one point or another by SS, I happened to see a lady...

    Bob's Deaf Niece

    That really DID look like Linda Bove! I saw that clip before SS, too, and it really did look like Linda Bove reminiscing about SS. The spot was ABOUT Linda, so that contributed to it for me. However, I would be surprised if that was her, because the person did speak so fluently, which would...

    If you could change 3 things about Sesame Street today

    Now THIS is a thread I can really get into! 1) Target the show at older kids, like they used to. I am tired of the dumbed down Sesame. They sould make it smarter again, reaching out to 5 or 6 year-olds instead of 2 and 3 year olds. Since I got copies of some of the early (1969-1977)...

    ID This 1960s/1970s Children's Science Show?

    Slim Goodbody? Could this have been Slim Goodbody? He always reminded me of Richard Simmons. If you do a search online, you will find that he still tours and has an official website as well as lots of fan sites.

    That's It! My God, you are a genius! At the very least, you have an incredible memory! For years - literally YEARS I have been trying to remember this show, and as soon as I looked up the title you gave me I found lots of info. FYI - There is information about this show online at the...

    ID This 1960s/1970s Children's Science Show?

    I am hoping someone can help me identify a kid's show I remember from when I was little, back in the 1970s or early 1980s. Here is what I remember: The show was about the human body, I think, and it was hosted by a woman who dressed kind of sensibly and talked to her young audience in a very...

    Your Sesame Street Era

    My Sesame "Era" I was born in 1972, and I am told that we always had Sesame on the TV, since we had access to public television even then (and not much else). I remember playing sick in kindergarten so that I could stay home, then waiting for my mom to go back to bed so I could sneak back...
