>You recall the first day Sesame Street came on the air.

I'm not quite *that* old, but I do remember some of the "lost" early
characters like Herbert Birdsfoot, Molly the Mail-carrier (played by
Charlotte Rae), orange Oscar, brown Grover, *Little* Bird, Sam the Robot,
and the ever-narcoleptic Professor Hastings, who made Professor Binns
look like Carl Sagan. (I can just imagine Hastings teaching Defense
Against the Dark Arts!).

>Sonny and Cher was the last show you could watch before being sent
>off to bed.

For me it was the Carol Burnett Show.

>The red, white and blue for the bicentential started getting on your
nerves
>after 6 months of it.

Yes! And my fanatically patriotic 2nd grade teacher didn't help...

>The Fisher Price People were your friends, and you were astonished when
>they came out in plastic!

I never forgave them for giving the Fisher Price People arms and legs!

>Sid and Marty Kroft shows on Saturdays on ABC were one of your
>favorite shows to watch! You also watched one show about Hats, a
>Jeanie, and a magician.

I'm so mad because Rhino Video has come out with *four* H.R. Pufnstuf
tapes but only *one* of Lidsville! (I'm also a big Bugaloos fan
who's praying that the rumors aren't true that Britney Spears will play
Joy in the movie!)

>You remember being excited by Barnaby, Romper Room, and
>Mister Rogers (his first runs). Zoom was brand new, and their rugby's
rocked!

I'm a big Mister Rogers fan -- I even remember when Lady Elaine Fairchild
flew to Jupiter, long before _Voyager_ and _Galileo_. I also loved _Zoom_.
