Indeed. And when your uncle used to touch you in the shower ...

Must be pleasant memories for you

Brings back fond memories of my childhood. Kids of today have really been deprived of high quality edutainment.

I remember this guy so well...yes,he had that nice voice.
Rip Bob

I'm still looking for his Sesame Street song "Picture a World" on the net.

The only one I found was one where they featured Perry Como.

Let's just say I'm now actively seeking out stuff that will take me back decades.

The current world is sick.

HE WAS A GREAT PERSON, I OWE A LOT OF MY EDUCATION TO HIM N OTHER SESAME STREET CHARACTERS. WEN THE WESTERN WORLD GAVE GOOD MORALS TO KIDS. RIP BOB, TILL WE MEET AGAIN.

As a kid I was more of a fan of MUPPET SHOW than seesame street but R.I.P.

The main character in Muppet Show, Kermit the Frog, was a Sesame Street character, I believe, before the others in Muppet Show were created around him.

Rest in peace Bob.

Our collective childhood

good old days when u av nice cartoon,to watch.Onky the privilege used VHS on those days. Days u go out to turn ur antenna outside to gain signal .

RIP legend

Sesame Street made by the Childrens Television Workshop was really a gem. I remember watching this those days on Lagos TV unfortunately all that is gone. My kids now have to watch Cartoon network all day.

Who remembers tortoise's wonderful store, produced by NTA Jos back in the days

An icon indeed.
One of the few unsung heroes of a subtle but assured cultural expansion and domination of America and made the English language the language of the world.
What a talented. dedicated fellow.

Very sad to hear that. He was one of the people i grew up with watching Sesame street back in the 1980's and i would never forget him.

Kermit the Frog actually predates both Sesame street and the Muppet show. (long story).

Death is inevitable.

Show itself still exists (and NTA shows something called 'Sesame square'.) . You can find some old episodes on Youtube

Seriously I feel really sad. My childhood was so much fun watching programs like contact, famous 5, mind your language etc. Today my kids only watch Cartoon network all day.
