Who knew he would inspire a nation? Oscar and his cohorts laid the foundation for the educational programming we have today. Of course, he also legitimized the behavior that has brought us a host of other programs, like Clean Sweep and Hoarders. Thanks for sharing. Classic Sesame street is the best.
There was a story behind him turning to green, apparently he went to the country and the clean air made him change color. LOL!
Sesame Street is the best, and my 2 year old and I watch it together all the time. The "Old School" dvds are great, and I love the show now, even with all that Elmo.
We used to sit with a tape recorder & a microphone & tape episodes of Sesame Street for my baby brother. Then they started releasing the LPs, which I was smart enough to save! For my own kids I bought all of the video tapes. Watching Sesame Street over the years as a child & an adult has been a wonderful experience.
I was born in 1966 so I was raised on Sesame Street. A few years ago, Noggin used to play old school Sesame Street early in the morning with a very young Maria and Gordon wearing some fly threads.
LOL @ the comment above me. I put "C is for cookie on our dog's myspace page" (shut up)because "cookie" is a dog biscuit around our house :-) That song is my favorite :-)
I love that orange Oscar.

When I was little (mid-'70s), I had a piano music book with Sesame Street songs. This was one of my favorites.
