Vintage sesame street on youtube is one of the highlights of modern parenting.

I'm picturing you wanting the Llama song on endless replay during labor, and all your support people going insane.

OMG this was wonderful! I used to looooooove the llama song. In recent years I've sung it (usually in the presence of llamas), and my younger friends have no idea what I'm talking (err... singing) about.

And I remember when Mr. Hooper died... I remember my mom sitting down with me and my sister and having a very serious conversation with us about it before we could watch the show. Ohhh, Mr. Hooper...

I had to watch the video for about 3 seconds to remember what the Llama Song was. All I can think now is that that footage must have been HELL to shoot, remembering someone or other's dictum about working with animals or small children---this clip has both, and one of the world's most ornery animals to boot.

And I remember when Mr. Hooper died... I remember my mom sitting down with me and my sister and having a very serious conversation with us about it before we could watch the show. Ohhh, Mr. Hooper...

This I still remember. It affected me greatly (no helpful parents to guide me through it for me) and for the longest time I would wonder "what would happen if Actor X died" about my favorite TV shows.
