Can you tell me how to get...how to get to Sesame Street?

Did you know that the 37th season of Sesame Street kicks off Monday, August 14? As in the Monday that you are probably reading this?! I didn't either! But the Lovely Mrs. Davis knew and she is celebrating it! To mark this occasion, she is asking for your help. Yes, you. I personally grew up watching Sesame Street (I remember when only Big Bird could see Mr. Snuffie and I remember Mr. Hooper. Oh, how I could go on!) Which is exactly what she is calling you to do.

If you're a mom or dad blogger, I want YOU to be in on this celebration. To mark the start of Sesame Street's 37th season, I'd like to get 37 posts (but wouldn't it be cool if we had a whole lot more?) from all of you, on your own blogs, that I will link from here on August 14, in a gigantic linky-love extravaganza. Don't worry - your post doesn't have to be about Sesame Street, but it should answer this question:

What television, music, movie or book from your childhood are you excited about sharing with your own children?

Already, there has been a wonderful response. I would love to hear yours. Here is just a sampling of answers:

Musically, the Sesame Street songs (mostly by Jeff Moss) are of a musical theatre nature, but in the very best sense of being hummable, humorous and mostly upbeat. If you watch the show day in and day out, there might be some blah songs here and there, but many of them are great, and if you watch or listen to a "best of" collection with Sesame Street songs it's a truly incredible list of memorable tunes

Jeff of Out With the Kids shared this:

...the world will be introduced to a new Muppet: Abby Cadabby. Abby is the first new female character in 13 years. She is a young, pink "fairy-in training" and is the daughter of a Fairy Godmother. According to Sesame Street, her catch-phrase will be "that's so magic". While the character does seem overtly marketable, the addition of a strong female muppet was long overdue and should be applauded.

Many of us grew up with shows like this. I think it is amazing to see what the Lovely Mrs. Davis is doing. So you have a bit of a head start. I only gave you two samplings. She wants to reach 37. Come on, people! We can so smash 37!

Join us in this fun and be sure to not only comment here that you participated, but let The Lovely Mrs. Davis know as well.

I know I am going to play!
