Brought to you by the letter S

It was today way back in 1969 that Sesame Street was put on the map with the National Education Television Network series of the same name (it moved to PBS later that year). Today, it's said that over 75 million Americans have watched the show as children.

According to Wikipedia, more than 4,100 episode have been shot in its 36 seasons. The original series has been televised in 120 countries, and more than 20 international versions have been produced, not including dubbed versions. The series has received 109 Emmys, more than any other television series

So here's to Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Oscar, Slimy the worm, Elmo, Grover, Count von Count, Cookie Monster, Prairie Dawn and Aloysius Snuffleupagus - better know as Snuffy. Happy birthday guys! You're looking younger than ever.

And since Thanksgiving is coming right up... and since we're on the topic of Sesame Street... I found the cartoon below and thought it was fitting. Enjoy my twisted humor...
