"Yeah, I think Sesame Street ended for me in the late '80s when my sister got older and we didn't have the kid-shows on as much anymore. Otherwise, the '70s was all Sesame Street and Electric Co. And Zoom. OMG, Zoom! I wanted to learn to speak Abu Dhabi so bad....!"
You forgot about 321 Contact! I love, love, loved The Bloodhound Gang skits (those are on youtube too, but the quality is so bad and they are long).
"I swear, with WBZ being such an influential force in public TV at the time, I thought all of PBS originated in Boston so I could never understand why Mr. Rogers was produced in Pittsburgh. It's all in Boston, isn't it? :)"
There is an excellent documentary about the making of Sesame Street and its intentions back then, and then the expansion to other countries. I think having grown up with it, you'd probably really enjoy it. I had no idea of the social implications of it then because for me it was just a normal thing. Now, I am so grateful for that experience. :)
