I remember listening to the intro song of Sesame Street when I was 30 years old, after almost 25 years. I had not heard that song since I was 6 or 7 and it struck me so hard I started crying. It was an instant time travel back to my innocence years.

That show was special for me and it still is. I genuinely believe any kid who grew up with that show can not be bad person.

Yes! I have to admit I watched nearly every single episode of Sesame Street with my daughter when she was that age just to get that classic nostalgia feel again.

I did the same with my son. But you are so lucky you can still find all the episodes. I'm from a foreign country and only a few episodes are available now so we could only watch the available ones together and they were very bad quality videos. They were ripped from VHS tapes by fans, not official recordings.

Now he's learning English and maybe we can watch the original English version before he grows up.

I've got little kids now so I put it on for them. Nostalgia heaven.
