"The first five years of Sesame Street led to a revolution in children's television. Never again would mindless cartoons be considered responsible programming for young children. For the first time, serious educational content was fused into high-quality entertainment. Gifted composers Joe Raposo and Jeffrey Moss supplied the music and the genius puppeteer Jim Henson gave the world the new-iconic Muppets. High-quality animation that taught letters and numbers and other preschool skills provided 'commercial interruption.' Children and their parents, grandparents, adults without children -- just about everyone watched Sesame Street. This collection -- a trip down memory land -- makes it clear why the show became the gold standard for children's television, and why it remains so after 37 years on the air." - container.
