Old School Kermit

The DVD player in our car is taking over my life.  What started out as a way to get through a long trip to Surfside Beach has become a crutch for driving five minutes to the grocery store.  I try and keep to the basics so that I don't go completely mad.  

Lately Sesame Street Old School has been on heavy rotation.  I can't get enough of the way the show used to be.  The DVD's even come with a disclaimer that the material may not be appropriate for today's children, as evidenced by an early clip in which the characters wonder weather or not the show should just be called "Hey, Stupid" because its intended audience won't be able to read.  But, by far, my favorite thing about the DVD's is Kermit the Frog.  He's a little subversive, a little New York (listen to that accent), and yet totally endearing to children.  Poor Don Music never stood a chance.

They don't make it like they used to.

And we just used Amex points for our car DVD player. We will see how long we last with just using it for long trips.

I remember watching that! But I never liked the singing parts of the show. Found them boring. Same as today, I e-mail Oprah every time she has someone sing on her show telling her that I don't watch her show to see a performance, I watch for the interviews!
