Sesame street is and always was, and I want to be really clear about this, a complete load of awful shite.

They were in the Muppet show, not Sesame street.

Personally I like the yip yip aliens.

As was Animal. But there were a few character cross-overs.

Sesame Street shaped me into the pinko liberal PC commie leftie bleeding heart do-gooder I am today.

(Seriously though, it was very right-on).

Also a Muppet Show character

Cookie Monster is the greatest despite selling out to the big fruit industry, he even tried to justify his actions on The Colbert report:

Does anyone remember Sheila E on Sesame Street?

There were more cool celebs on that show than the fookin Late Late!

Deadly tv show.Favourite character was the count.

Funny, I watched it and I went that way too....

(Was there sublimal flashes of masked men with AKs and PLO/ANC logos in there?)

Probably due to the fact that big bird is 75% less annoying than Gay Byrne. Can't compare against pat, as he was a wooden puppet from another generation.

The big dog (Barkely) was class

And Oscar. And the Count.

Anybody that hated Sesame Street hasn't got a soul.

Man I spent many rugrat hours in front of Sesame Street.

Faves would be Bert/Ernie and Grover.

Did anyone else catch up on the "This programme was brought to you by the letter A, R and the number 6"? Now say aR6 really fast, my mind is filthy

DOC09UNAM

i went and downloaded a couple of there podcasts recently... simply hilarious.

Dudess

My favourite characters were Bert and Ernie - but Bert could be so cross. And apparently they WERE a couple.

Some of the clothes were cool too - could be very Studio 54 inspired.

Sesame Street

KerranJast

Does anyone know why RTE dropped it from its scheduling? It was and still is miles better than anything RTE or the UK have produced.

stovelid

Have vague memories of a guy (a waiter?) who fell down the stairs carrying loads of plates too? And sometimes at the end did they have this view from the front of a train while the credits went up?

Probably imagining it

Oh Doctor B.....how far you have fallen in my estimation.

Cookie Monster was definitely my favourite - anyone who doesn't know the words of this off by heart should be ashamed of themselves.

And if that doesn't, surely this would? Always makes me a little dewy-eyed.
(Slightly cheating as it's from The Muppets).

Swedish Chef was in the Muppet Show, not Sesame Street - but he was my favourite Muppet so kudos for posting the vid anyway.

Actually I take back my thanks. It is stuck in my head in the sentimental drivel section :pac:

Monster! How can anyone feel cynicism towards that little frog...?

Acid-tastic! The irony is, Sesame Street probably ran a "Just say no to drugs kids" special.

Leprachaun

As much as I loved sesame street,I prefer the muppet show. I always imagined seasame street as their day job and then muppet show was what they were really like. I'd always thought that I wouldn't be suprised if
one minute they're doing the abc's on seasame stree then they walk off set onto the muppet show and say...."****in kids do my head in".

Yeah, the Muppet Show was basically Sesame Street for "grown ups" I loved both of them.
