I think my favorite memory of Sesame Street is when they had a child with a wheelchair on the show. I had never seen anyone in a wheelchair and it was quite a learning experience (outside the show with my mom).
“Who are the people in your neighborhood?”
The pinball.
Naughty Ernie.
Gosh. And ten thousand more.

Hey Christine! I posted this over at ContestForMoms.com
Favorite Sesame Street Memory: Bert & Ernie! Love them!
Sesame Street reminds me of spending time with my family. We didn’t watch much tv growing up but my mom let us watch Sesame Street together.
I loved Sesame Street growing up and now my kids do also. I used to love how they all went behind the tree. Do you know what part of the intro I’m talking about?

I adored sesame street growing up. We had the Sesame Street Christmas and watched it every year. We lost the tape, though, and I recall, after having my first, finding it on Amazon.com and ordering it. Sitting down and watching MY favorite video from childhood with MY child brought me to tears. Seriously lost it. And each time I watch it with all of my children and explain to them how it was mommy’s favorite when she was a kid, it not only brings me back to being a kid myself, but brings me back to the moment I first showed it to my first child, and yup, get teary every time.
There was a song on their that was a parody of Material Girl by Madonna, I watched sesame street everyday for years even though I felt I was too old, hoping to see it again. I never did. I aso was terrified of the Yip yips (yip yip uh huh uh huh) now I think its hilarious

16 hour driving trip, Sesame Street “The Street We Live On” set on repeat.
My sister in law sat in the way-back, and was forced to listen to it the entire way…we now visit her in the institution on weekends.
i remember my grandpa picking me up from kindergarten…we’d go to his house, he’d make me lunch and i’d watch sesame street. those were the good old days…now my girl loves it too!
What a fun giveaway – I guess my favorite sesame street memory now is Saturday mornings with my big guy – snuggling on the couch and watching Sesame Street together – I love being able to share with him what was such a big part of my childhood.
i always like the counting pinball thing” 1 2 3 4..5..6 7 8 9 10…11..12″ Can you tell I am sing it now, I also loved kermit as a reporter talking to the nursery story characters

My favorite memory was watching it myself as a young child. It was one of the only shows that I watched!
It was music to my ears when our little girl who has special needs first yelled out "esame reet!!!" when it came on one day. Wow. After 4 years of speech therapy it was music to my ears!!!
We're big fans of Elmo, Grover, Ernie & Bert! Love them all!!

My favorite Sesame Street memory is the “The Monster at the End of this Book.” It’s with Grover. Gosh, I love that book…I have the original one we had as kids, and she’s bought my 3 brothers a copy too. I enjoy reading it to MY kids and hope that someday they will love to read it to their kids!

I love all the segments with John John – he was one of the kids who was on in the early 80s, and he was so cute!

My oldest dd used to like the Halloween Sesame street specials. I think one of them was Elmo Says Boo. Anyway, now she is in middle school and way past this stage! I would like to win one of these sets for my nieces.
It has to be Elmo. He’s so adorable.
Thank you!
I remember when my parents bought our first color tv. My brother and I watched in awe as they turned on Sesame Street. Who knew Big Bird was yellow???
I am nearly the exact same age as Sesame Street. Gulp. Now I’m watching it with my daughter and I am amazed when one of the old segments comes up and I remember it! I have to say, Bert and Ernie singing that “L is such a lovely letter” song just delights me. “La la la…linoleum!”
babiesgottahaveit(at)gmail(dot)com
I fondly recall watching this with my kids, and two had Chicken Pox, so we all watched it together in my bed. cdziuba@aol.com
I LOVED “Christmas Eve on Sesame Street”! It is still my favorite Christmas special of all time! My favorite memory of the show was the “Twiddlebugs and Ernie”. I thought they were so funny! Of course, I loved Grover too…
I remember watching it before i went to school. I always looked forward to it.

I remember when sesame street wasn’t so politically correct!
When I was a kid, I had this really rotten babysitter and I remember watching Sesame Street as a way to “get away” from Miss B#$%%
My favorite Sesame Street memory is listening to my 12 month old daughter la-la-ing along to “Elmo’s Song”
My favorite memory of sesame street when I was little were all the fun songs!
My favorite memory of SS is when my parents took me to SS land in Va (I think?). I got separted from them bc Oscar came out of a trash can and did a show. I sat there all day watching the show over and over and over. Meanwhile my parents searched the whole park. I had fun, them not so much
also I subscribed
I don’t have one. I grew up in Europe and I never watched it.

I loved watching Burt and Ernie. They were always so comical. I loved it when Ernie got cookie crumbs in Berts bed and when he played the drums loud.

I remember growing up with Sesame Street. Bert, Ernie, Oscar, Big Bird and all of the characters were my good friends!!
cjnedrow@gmail.com
always love the bert and ernie skits
I remember watching Seseme Street at our first house growing up and I know we moved when I was 6 so I must have been 5-6 and I think its weird I can remember that!
I grew up with Sesame Street. I remember when I was young, my mom would turn it on and I was try to re-enact the skits they would do. My mom would laugh and laugh. Now, my daughter loves Sesame Street to pieces! Her favorite character is Elmo- and I have to agree.
My favorite was when they had (I am not sure I am spelling it right
Snuffleupagus he would only show himself to Big Bird. I never did find out if he ever showed himself to anyone else.

I loved to watch Bert and Ernie bicker like two cackling old hens. Bert was right, and Ernie was annoying.

My favorite Sesame Street memory are the songs. I loved singing them when I was a kid. I love singing them with my kids now. I love that while they have updated some areas you can still see the classic songs and clips put to good use.
I am adding you to my reader.
i love watching the same characters on the show with my kids that i watched when i was a kid. it makes me feel old and young at the same time. ~thanks!
Rubber Ducky, you’re the one. You make bathtime lots of fun. Rubber Ducky I’m awfully fond of you!
My favorite Sesame Street memory is when they choose a number and then beat it around for the rest of the show.
I always loved watching the Cookie Monster make a MESS when he ate!
I just loved the old-school Sesame Street with Animal and Kermit the Frog. The new ones just aren’t the same, and I don’t like some of the messages they try to push.
Sesame Street has Bert, Ernie, Oscar, Big Bird and all of the characters I love
My favorite memory was the Rubber Duckie song sung by Ernie in his bathtub…ashlyn@chuparkoff.com
I loved the rubber ducky song as a kid!! Great memories!
Thank you for having this! my favorite memory is simply counting with the count. Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net
My favorite memory is watching Sesame Street with my mom and Singing along with Ernie in “You gotta Put down the Duckie.” That’s a classic!
thethriftymama @ gmail.com (remove spaces).
My favorite memory is of a sesame street build a muppet kit I had so I could make my own muppet and play with the muppets on the show (in my imagination). I loved big bird, had many big bird things as a kid. And cookie monster, also a big favorite.
My son likes to pretend being the grouch.
I love it when my kids watch Sesame Street and then run around with their towel ‘capes’ ‘flying’ just like Super Grover.
Another great memory is Count Count. He always made me laugh.
I loved Christmas on Sesame Street. They sang a great song called Keep Christmas With You All Year Long. Thank you
My favorite is counting with the Count. Too much fun!
I loved watching my kids singing along and learning their letters from this show.
I used to have an album with all the Sesame Street songs on it: Rubber Ducky, I Love Trash, the theme song. I loved all of them. I also have a memory of when Mr. Hooper died, certainly not a happy memory, but one that I can clearly recall.

My favorite memory is a recent one, my 18 month old walk around singing the Elmo’s world theme song (as much as he can anyway, LOL!) But it’s just so darn cute and makes me laugh everytime!
My fav memory was always the cute guys that would run back and forwards saying “NEAR and FAR”. Even at 15 I would turn it on just to laugh at it.
My son loves to build things! This would be a wonderful birthday or christmas present for him
My favorite memory is one of me watching Sesame Street with my children.

My fav. Sesamae Street memory was in the 1970s they all went to Hawaii, and Snuffaloughus had to be air lifted by helicopter to get there.
