On this day in 1969, a new educational show for children premiered on PBS. It was called "Sesame Street." Photos from the Library's Prints & Photographs collections show Jim Henson piloting his muppet creations on early seasons of the show. https://t.co/JE4LJ9i2Ut

Sesame Street was central to my life pretty much from the git go. Our first dog (a Lhasa Apso) was named Oscar, per my suggestion. I once made a mess feeding cookies to my Cookie Monster puppet. My favorite book was Grover and the Everything in the Whole Wide World Museum.
Mom also told me that I would pitch a fit if I couldn't watch it when I was a toddler. I swear that I am much more mature 50+ years later.
