On November 10, 1969, a little television show called Sesame Street premiered, and 57 years later, it’s hard to imagine childhood without it.
For generations of kids, this was one of the first places we learned our ABCs, how to count, and a few important lessons about being kind to each other.
Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Cookie Monster, Grover, and Oscar the Grouch became familiar faces in our living rooms. And somehow, even though we were learning, it never really felt like school.
And who could forget that theme song? I bet plenty of us could still sing most of it without missing a word.
57 years is an incredible run for a show that has been part of so many childhoods.
Post a pic of your favorite character. I especially want to see the versions from other countries.

Should they bring back Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol?

The 1962 NBC special was the very first animated Christmas special ever shown on television, years before Rudolph and Charlie Brown. Jim Backus voices Mister Magoo as Ebenezer Scrooge, in a play inside a cartoon, with songs by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill.
Disney Magic Daily pro tip: listen for "Ringle, Ringle" when you watch it, it is the catchiest song in the special and the one everybody hums afterward.
Did this one play at your house every Christmas, or is it the one you missed?

We hear a lot about how terrible candy corn and circus peanuts are, but there’s not enough hate out there for these dry disk abominations. Clove as a candy flavor in this big year of 2026? Diabolical.
I am disowning Necco wafers on behalf of all Bostonians (Necco stands for New England Candy Company).
During WWII, the U.S. government ordered Necco to produce and send the wafers overseas to soldiers stationed there, (which is a *wild* demand)…and when the soldiers returned to the states, they continued to purchase them.
Necco also produced Sweethearts conversation hearts, which also taste like tums without the medicinal property.
This has been a dry disk history lesson.
