My 1st grade teacher was this cute, thick dark-skinned woman with a tiny afro and thick glasses named Caroline. Her mentor/shadow teacher was this older white woman whose name I cannot remember, but when Caroline rolled the TV into the classroom and played Sesame street and Electric Company, the older teacher would turn red as hell, ready to combust into flames.
Ah, good times, good times.

Michael Franti from the lefty group, Spearhead, http://www.myspace.com/spearheadvibrations who I have seen live, was on the radio last week and he said that once they played at a prison, I disremember which one, and when the band played the theme from Sesame street, the prisoners went wild with joy. I don't know if this is good or bad. It could mean that Sesame street was a failed experiment.
i think eleven twelve with the pinball machine was my favorite... educational and had a funky tune, sesame street got cool points for that!
