capriuni posted on Sesame Street's fortieth anniversary (annotated with appropriate imbedded video).

I was nine in 1969. I remember seeing a prime time special about Sesame Street's debut, but for some reason (scheduling?) I couldn't watch it till we moved from Wilmette, Illinois to Omaha in 1971. I wanted to watch it for the Muppets. In 1972 or so they started selling facsimile Muppets in toy stores: Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, Oscar and Big Bird. I would record Muppet bits from the tv or from the soundtrack albums and stage puppet shows for my family. I made Kermit the Frog and Grover out of socks since I liked bits they were in too much to leave them out. I got storebought Grover and the Anything Muppet when they came out, and when The Muppet Show got big I also got Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fonzie and Rowlf (Animal was no use to me when they didn't make the rest of the band and I don't have five hands anyway). I continued doing these puppet shows for family, school and friends till about 1982. I still have all the puppets, though the lining in Anything Muppet's head that keeps him properly stiff deteriorated away in the 80s from a damp storage basement.

My favorite bits were always Ernie and Bert Henson and Oz, and I still know several bits off by heart.

"I'm looking for me, Bert!"

"Betcha can't hear that ol' radio hardly at all!"

"Good grief, the comedian's a bear!"
