The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

serial to add:

Sesame Street did give me one happy -- when I saw Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back and first heard Yoda, it hit me: "Oh my God! The great Jedi Master is Grover !"

I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my seat. The rest of the theater didn't think it was so funny.

Because books.

I *heart* Grover in a big way.

H.R. Puffenstuff was pretty trippy. WitchiePoo! My mom says I loved Mr. Rogers as a very young child, and I have vaguely fond memories of King Friday, and we watched Captain Kangaroo every motning eating our cereal.

Does anyone else remember a show called The New Zoo Revue? Oh, and I adored The Electric Company (Easy Reader! The Short Circuit Band!) and Zoom ("Zooma zooma zooma zooooom").

Clearly, I watched way too much TV as a kid.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Electric Company RULED!!! And Easy Reader was -- seriously -- Morgan Freeman. (Cowboy Curtis on Pee-Wee's Playhouse was -- seriously -- Lawrence Fishburne.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

One of the very few things that I have ever looked at and said "hey! You! Stop destroying my childhood!" is the Elmo version of There's A Monster At the End of This Book. No! Is Grover! *stomps foot, runs off*

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ooh! The Roman Numeral song. I loved that.

Katie! Me, too! My brother and I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the Elmo version. We used to read it together, trying to pretend we were scared at Grover's dire pronouncements. One page was even ripped because one of us held it down to try to keep the other from turning it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My favorite was Square One TV.

Squeeee!!! Bloodhound Gang! Mathnet! Blackstone!

And it's the reason nine is my favorite number.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Does anyone else remember a show called The New Zoo Revue?

Yep. It came on very early in the mornings. I wasn't crazy about it, because the theme song earwormed me, but would sometimes watch it when I woke up early and there was no other kiddie TV.

Because books.

When I was at NYU, I remember seeing Morgan Freeman on the street, in an army jacket, and immediately pinging Easy Reader. It was pre-Driving Miss Daisy, et al, if I remember right.

New Zoo Revue was weird. Those oversized puppets, and the ... can this be right? ... gazebo? Out in the town square or something?

No idea what Square One TV is/was.

There was an Elmo version of There's a Monster...? That's just wrong. I read the Grover version to Jake and Ben. And Jake's favorite stuffed animal when he was little was a Super Grover complete with cape and helmet.

Oh, and we bought the Math and Grammar videos of Schoolhouse Rock for the kids. Stephen and I, of course, are the ones who watch them.
