Sesame Street is simply legendary. The showโs been an American staple since 1969.
Sesame Street features characters with a wide range of backgrounds, just like the modern United States. Youโve got Bert and Ernie, Big Bird, Elmo, the Count (also known as Count von Count), and of course the Cookie Monster (there was once speculation that he became the Veggie Monster for a brief period in the mid-2000s).
Turns out, kids and babies absolutely adore Sesame Street, even in 2020.
Baby Ellie Mayโs reaction is proof of that. Her dad sits her down at his desk and flips through a few websites before landing on none other than Sesame Street.
Before the video even starts, adorable Ellie Mayโs not happy at all, looking at the screen without much care. Sheโs a busy baby, anyway. Whatโs the meaning of this meeting?
She looks really bored, if not slightly agitated. Is that a frown?
Dad gives some context to the audience, โYou are now about to witness the strength of Sesame Street knowledge.โ

Baby Ellie Mayโs face absolutely lights up.
Elmoโs voice exits the speakers. Sheโs left speechless, mouth completely ajar.

I mean, just look at that smile.
Who knew Sesame Street was this powerful?
Elmoโs shenanigans continue, bringing immense joy and awe to Ellie May. Her eyes donโt leave the screen for a single moment.

I wonder which Sesame Street episode theyโre watching?
This is what pure joy looks like. That smile says it all.
Itโs hard not to smile at her smiling!
Elmoโs a beloved character, plain and simple. Heโs been spreading joy to children for many decades.
I remember being a kid, way back when. I absolutely loved him. He even refers to himself in the third person. Plus, โElmoโs Worldโ is fantastic!
It makes me happy that kids today are able to enjoy him equally as much.
Dadโs having a great time, too. Heโs clearly overjoyed that his daughterโs happy.

Sesame Street is one of Americaโs most beloved programs, historically.
Itโs been around for over 50 years now!
And to this day, the programโs lauded for its creative humor and important values. With that said, the Cookie Monster has tempered his intake of sweets in recent years.
Fortunately for kids (and parents) everywhere, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Elmo, the Cookie Monster, and the Count (batty, batty, battyโฆ) are still combining their efforts to spread cheer and important lessons to millions of young Americans.
What shows did you enjoy as a child? Are they still around? Maybe Sesame Street was one of them.
