Today marks the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street, the show that has been the part of the childhood of hundreds of millions of people. A show that both entertains and educates, a program that inspires the dreamers of the day and the leaders of the future.

However, there is plenty of commentary out there about how amazing the program is and how much of an impact it has had on society as a whole, so I thought we might focus on the more personal. The impact the show had on us, or on our children, grandchildren, etc.

Or perhaps we could share memories of some of our favorite parts of the show.

For me there was just something magical about that hour we’d spend with Ernie, Bert, Grover, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Big Bird and company. I even find myself today as an adult still enjoying a quick visit back.

I’ve added a couple videos that still make me smile.
