RE: Today in History: Sesame Street premieres for the first time ever

in #history6 years ago

I grew up with Sesame Street. The one episode I remember was one where Telly Monster (remember him?) was trying to learn Spanish and Maria helped him out with daily greetings. The episode ended with Telly standing outside the apartments, shouting, "MARIA! MARIAAAA!" until Maria comes to the window. "What? What is it, Telly?" she asked.

"¡Buenos noches!" was his reply.

And for some reason, I remember that. It's silly, but here we are. On an unrelated note, have you seen Kevin Perjurer's miniseries documentary on the life of Jim Henson? It's really well done, and puts Henson's Life into a perspective that few have done over the years. It is highly recommended. I had to stop watching the last episode at work because a bunch of ninjas suddenly started chopping onions at the office.

I may have seen that doco before but I'll watch it again anyway. I found Henson's life to be a very interesting one with some really humble beginnings.

Damn ninjas breaking to offices and chopping onions!
