Maybe Ollie could learn from Big Bird

Well, if we can extend the narrative to the muppet show, we would be the sarcastic grumpy old guys in the theater

LOL. Statler and Waldorf.

I was thinking Miller and Blaney.

Was never a fan nor was my son. When did Sesame Street become a popular show?

My daughter watched 2-3 times a day in mid-80s. It was good enough for me to pay attention to.

This is so wrong.

Just got it... good one.

I'm afraid I'm more from the "Captain Kangaroo" generation, although I never cared for that show. I vaguely remember "Howdy Doody" and the "Mickey Mouse Club", but only from reruns. My son was more into "Pee Wee Herman's Playhouse" (if that's the correct name of his show) than "Sesame Street". My much older sister was in love with Roy Rogers.

Seasame Street was a big part of my childhood from like 2-4. Pee Wee was a big part from like 5-8. Different roles, different itches. Incidentally while Teeny Little Super Guy was likely my favorite segment on Seasame Street, Big Bird was my favorite character. That time he was blue and locked up in the movie was about as emotionally scarring as Dumbo or Bambi were to 3-year old me.

I wasn't keeping score but I have to imagine that for me the Sesame Street era extended far longer than two years. People forget about how integral a trip to Sesame Place is to the formation of an identity at that age. Anyone who has ever been will know what I'm talking about and quite frankly others should remain silent on the subject.

Big bird taught me a lot growing up.

My parents say I watched follow that bird all the the time and Sesame Street Christmas in June.

And I also really enjoyed Zubilee Zoo.

Kwintin may be Snuffleupagus...KO can't see him on the bench during games

Christian Vital might just resemble Super Grover when he's leading the fast break

The Emmy goes to AW for Post of The Year and a lifetime supply of Cookie’s favorite chocolate chips.

Cookie, by the way, was known for his monster dunks, that always started the Big Red Elmo cheer “Gimme an S, E, S, A ...” cheer.

My kids loved Sesame, I’m a Howdy Doody kid (Mitch McConnel looks like Dillydally). The UConn D looks like Flubadub, an unrecognizable creature.

Somebody has to be Guy Smiley. Shabazz? Kalid?

If Kevin Ollie directed Sesame Street, Big Bird would be in every fourth episode and even then only for three minutes.

Oscar the grouch would appear constantly. Ollie models his sideline looks on Oscar.

Boatright. Syracuse left the big east with a bad taste of Guy Smiley in their mouths.

What did Kermit say at Jim Hensen's funeral?

Nothing.
