   Although I remember Sesame street, I think that this particular clip is a little before my time. It did however lead me onto a whole bucket load of sesame street goodness. I’ll sit Alicia down in front of some tommorow and see what she makes of it.

   I don’t think that they show Sesame Street on British telly anymore. Childrens TV seems much more commercial nowadays. A nice reminder of simpler times. Cheers Richard.

   Jamie: I’ll be curious about Alicia’s response to this (how old is she?). I’ve alerted Bonnie (Erin’s mom, my stepdaughter) so we’ll what Erin (5) thinks. She may be a bit jaded but she does like to color with crayons… Stay tuned.

   Erin is 5 and already “done” with Sesame Street. She prefers the more commercial cartoons like Spongebob. She watched Sesame Street when she was 2 and 3 a bit and like it. It is still on every day. We have actually seent he crayon one. Erin does still hang out and play games on Sesamestreet.com though.

   Alicia is four. She enjoyed the clips. Especially the crayon one. I don’t know where she thought crayons came from but that wasn’t it! Like Bonnie says though - if it were down to choice, i’m sure she would pick Spongebob or something like that. Strange though, i’m sure I was much older when I watched it.

   This was always my favorite Sesame Street clip! I used to be (OK, still am) fascinated with how things are made! I have to agree, though, I was a bit older when I waswatching Sesame Street. Not 2 or 3 (I still remember watching it, so I couldn’t have been that little…)

   One thing I never noticed, though, was how smiley those factory workers were… a little bit scary in retrospect.

   Caitlin: yo, dude, it’s for kids, you want maybe they should be chained to their machines, yelling for help? I do agree though, the smiles while they do what look like highly repetivie tasks makes them look rather robotic and unreal. Great observation Caitlin.
