Your Sesame Street Era

[Al Hempker]

My era was from '75-'81.

I was born in 1970. But I remember SS was the very first TV show I ever watched. I loved it, except for the few scary skits and cartoons that had me running out of the room.

LOL Xerus...you sound like me as far as running from the room when scary bits came on.And I watched SS from '69-'78 I'd say.But then when my brother & sister came along in '79 & '81 I'd watch some of it with them.

"My Era"

Being born in 67,
I watched it clear till' age 11!
Upon which 6th grade ended, (cry!)
And forced me into Junior High!

That first day felt like a sucker punch.
Nobody sat with me for lunch.
And, after that, it was back to class.
(Recess was now a thing of the past!)

That new back-pack they'd said I'd need
turned out to be a friend, indeed!
Filled to the rim with assignments listed,
I couldnt believe this much homework existed!

As I staggered through my home front door,
I thought, "Screw being "grown-up" anymore!"
If "growing up" always meant feeling this beat,
I'd beg Mom to move us to "Sesame Street!"

 

[Ziffel]

Hey Rosewood very good job!
Pleased would be Gordon and Bob
And that's right, those were the days
When those shows would always amaze

Boy do I long to see them
Awesome stuff, truly a gem
Maybe soon, a dvd
Or perhaps, come to tv

Either way I'd jump for joy
And holler, oh boy oh boy!
Okay now, this here is done
But to say, It's (SS) number one!

I unfortunately don't have that many Sesame Street memories, I had to have watched sometime from 1986-1994 regularly (Mom says I saw the one where everybody saw Snuffy for the first time) All I remember much is some of the specials I taped back when I was a regular viewer, I've seen some of the later ones (such as when Slimey went to Outer Space and the one where Telly was the only one who saw the X that whistled the X-Files Theme)

My era was from probably 1987-1992, but I could be wrong....

At the time, my mom taped me the "Put Down the Duckie" special, and then put misc stuff from the show. These include the following:

But I Like You (Ernie and Bert)
Readers of the Open Range
Gilbert and Sullivan sing about the letter B while Oscar looks on
They Can't Take That Away From Me
Live at the Nest: A Telephone in Brazil
Cookie Disco
Pageant: Let's Make a Face
Rappin' Alphabet
The Count counts the ants that steal his picnic lunch

I've been an avid SS watcher since the early 70s-present.I still watch it,to keep up with the show's format,new puppets,etc...

 

[Ilikemuppets]

I was born in 1983, which was about season 14. Im not suer if I wached the show when I was zero Or one years old,but I'm sure I wached at the age of two, which was about season 16 Sometime around 84,85. The years that I wached the show at the appropriate were between 1983-89 because I had already started Kindergraten by 1988. While I haven't seen every episode of every season, I continued and have whached every season sense then. I uesd to be able to whach daily beacause it came on every day after school, but later on I would catch summer reruns. I've probably seen most of the episods of every season sense season 14 or. If not,then as many as I could. I've never had A problem with being to old for the show, beacause most of the people I knew In school up to *th grade wached the show to, even thow they wached age apropriate things.

I must have watched Sesame Street regularly from about 1988-1991, give or take a year. I had certainly stopped watching the show before the theme music and Friday credits sequence were changed in 1992.

Having been born in 1970,I too am from the original SS watching era.
I tuned into SS on a regular basis from about 1972 until 1977.
