'Sesame Street' was a pioneering educational T.V. show, intended to help underprivileged children. But even those of us middle-class kids spoilt for pedagogical choice couldn't get enough of it.

I expect a zombie to show up on 'Sesame Street' soon, teaching kids to count.

Getting a degree, being on Sesame Street... those were like real accomplishments to me.

We were only allowed to watch Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers and 3-2-1 Contact!

'Sesame Street' is awesome - not only because they teach, edify and entertain kids but because they savvily make it possible to do so with parental engagement, because the show is loaded with references for Mom and Dad.

I always wanted to be a Muppet. So when 'Sesame Street' approached me to guest star, I thought: 'I'm going to be on this!' It's pretty incredible stuff.
