40 Years of Sunny Days

Thanks, Brian and Karene, for this collection. Man, Sesame Street used to be awesome. My kids haven't been very into the show lately, but they've been watching this DVD (mind you, they always select disc 1---selections from the first 20 years) over and over again. It really takes me back. I'd completely forgotten David, but when I saw him, it was like seeing an old pal. I didn't know there had ever been other Gordons, so that tripped me out a bit. It's good to see Mr. Hooper and remember the good old days when Snuffy was imaginary. Drawback: I'm only really interested in the first disc (1969-1989), as that disc is the one that includes the years I was watching as a kid. Sesame Street's still a pretty swell show, but it used to be so much better. My kids agree.
