Although I wasn't allowed to watch much TV growing up, I always watched Sesame Street. Some of my favorite episodes were the ones where James Taylor was on, and I'd always yell to my mom, "The singing guy you like is on!" As a kid, I remember my sisters' friends calling me Cookie Monster, because I ate my cookies rather like that furry blue guy. The truth is, I probably still do.
As an adult, I've loved introducing my kids to Sesame Street. Tommy's current favorite is Elmo (or melmo, as he calls him) and Luke loves the old Follow That Bird movie (one of my favorites, too!). This is why I jumped at the chance to give away a family four pack of tickets to Sesame Street Live “1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends” to one of my local reader (see below for show dates and locations). The great thing about Sesame Street Live is that it's obviously geared for younger audience members with a 90 minute show, including a 15 minute intermission. Just enough time to keep kids engaged with singing and dancing from their favorite Sesame Street characters, but not enough time for them to get fidgety and restless.
How much fun is that? I know that my kids would be in seventh heaven!

I'm a big fan of Roosevelt Franklin.
Same here...no TV when I was a kid except for Sesame Street and Mr. Rodgers. I LOVE Grover. We were probably a lot alike when I was younger. :)
Oh fun! I have a number of fake nieces and nephews that I'd love to take to see Sesame Street Live. I'd be the coolest fake auntie every!
I love big bird! Evan has just started watching sesame street and he loves it! It's just an awesome show!
That is a tough question, but I think I'll have to go with Oscar.
Well I would have to say the "Cookie Monster" LOL He was unique and crazy at times. COOKIE!!!
He did need help with his cookie eating habits. Messy Guy.
Hey can you tell me "How to get to Sesame Street".? ;)
Super Grover! We just had a big conversation about him yesterday. Although we also like Rosita because she speaks Spanish!
Oh, totally Oscar. No question.
