9. I miss the muppets

Jim Henson was brilliant...It hasn't been the same since he died.

12. TV shows have helped my kids learn some...

but I think watching the shows with them has more of an impact than trusting the tube to teach my kids.

13. HEY YOU GUYS!!!!

Looking back, the Electric Company proved that a kid's show could be educational and hip at the same (Morgan Freeman seriously rules!). I have fond memories of both Sesame Street and the Electric Company.

14. Watched 'em every day

part of my development for sure

"C" ... "OOL" ... "Cool" :smoke:

[JVS]

15. That crap? No Augustine, or Ovid?

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Big Blue Marble, too!

The earth’s a Big Blue Marble when you see it from out there.
The sun and moon declare our beauty’s very rare.

Folks are folks and kids are kids we share a common name.
We speak a different way but work and play the same.

We sing pretty much alike, enjoy Spring pretty much alike;
Peace and love we all understand and laughter, we use the very same brand.

Our differences, our problems from out there there’s not much trace
Our friendships they can place while looking at the face of the Big Blue Marble in space.
