"Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away"....the beloved 'Sesame Street' that graced its presence throughout most of our childhoods celebrates it's 40th anniversary today!The programme, made by the Children's Television Workshop, is still running to this day.
'Sesame Street' first aired back in November 1969. The series has produced over 4,200 episodes and is one of the longest running programmes in history.
The programme is well known for its 'Muppets' characters, created by Jim Henson, with many still being iconic/fashionable figures to grown ups such as myself!
The use of puppets in a children's television programme seems to be a rare treat now as animation appears to be taking over. I would love to see 'Sesame Street' run for another 40 years and hope that children of future generations would be able to enjoy it as much as I have.
Happy Birthday Sesame Street!
