They've been trying to kill PBS for decades. It's a gateway to an enlightened mind. It definitely was the humanities brought to the average American's living room.
Sesame Street, Electric Company, Reading Rainbow, Saturday morning cartoons. Basketball when you waited for the fighting to break out, only to find out later they were friends. Miss those days. I'm only 30, tho 😏
Remember there’s a tall bearded man just out of frame and he’s such a good puppeteer that the little girl doesn’t look at him even once, she’s so believing in Kermit the Frog.
I saw a comment once from someone who interviewed Kermit, and she said that after a couple of minutes, it really did feel like it was the two of them and that he was real. I can believe that.
Tears, why does anything wholesome and good being tears lately... Our world is so messed up. I'm doing my little part, making calls to my reps and others every day, supporting blue candidates in FL for the special elections and buying zero. It still feels so surreal where we are at. Spread kindness
I remember my uncle killing himself laughing while watching Sesame Street. He was in his late 70’s by then. He was watching “The Beetles” doing the letter of the day. It was the letter B. They were singing a reasonable facsimile of the Beatles “Let It Be.”
Those were the days where we weren’t bombarded with violence 24/7 on TV. Yes Vietnam war was in the nightly news but they didn’t air so much violence as we see on every prime time show now days. We also didn’t have the internet to corrupt our young minds. It’s hard to be a parent now days.
I love when Jim Henson *nearly* breaks at about 37 seconds—you’ll hear him squash a snicker. Always so happy when this one starts making the rounds again!

oldest. He is 56 this year 🥰
This is the sweetest.
And they’re trying to get rid of this too… 🙏
Really does illustrate to me at least… how much life has changed, and not in a good way. 😔
Thanks! I needed that.
No wonder magas want it gone. An educated empathic population threatens them.
No, Elon, I don't want to buy your "eight."

This produces genius and psychopaths.
Survival of the shittest.
I am just about the same age as that kid.
And also goofy.
Too late.
I was still in High School taking early childhood education ( a new class) .... wow
all my children watched this show in the 80's, and some of my grandchildren still have the videos
