masthead #57 – Sesame Street
Ah, Sesame Street. I loved this show. For some reason, I remember an episode where the featured number was 8, and they showed someone painting an 8 on the top of some poor bald guy’s head. Does anyone else remember that episode or did I totally imagine that my favorite show was promoting graffiti on human subjects? [OMG - there's a YouTube video!]
As far as the characters, my favorite was Cookie Monster, just because he was so ridiculously messy and enthusiastic about eating. I had a plush Cookie Monster doll as a kid, and I remember smooshing Oreos into its mouth, even though he didn’t technically have a mouth. That was OK; I really just wanted an excuse to make OMM NOMM NOMM sounds. Today, I act the same way about buffalo wings.
Who was your favorite Sesame Street character?
