Jim Hensen cracked me up. It was a little after my time, but it was always good to watch.

4. Piero Umiliani

It was a big international hit in 1960 for an Italian guy by that name. Jim Henson loved the song and I'm sure Mr. Umiliani loved the Muppets' using it!

Here's a link to an excellent Umiliani fan site: http://www.geocities.com/pieroumiliani/

7. OH. MY. GOD.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry... soooo many memories of being a kid just flooded back. Jim Henson was magical.

8. Awww

can't watch at work but thanks for reminding me of Sesame Street.

I still love that show - I watch with my kids!

Did anyone else also watch The Electric Company? There was this one song about living in a Capital I -- ~We all live in a capital "I". In the middle of the desert In the center of the sky~

I always thought it was a bit too moody sounding for a kids' show but I still remember it.
