‘Sesame Street’ Celebrates 45th Anniversary [Video]

Happy 45th Birthday Big Bird and the gang! Sesame Street celebrates 45 years and is still going strong!

You don't get to be the longest-running children's show in U.S. TV history by doing the same thing over and over.

So even though parents who grew up watching Sesame Street can still see old favorites like Big Bird, things on the street have changed since the show debuted 45 years ago on November 10, 1969.

Cookie Monster now sometimes eats fruits and vegetables, but the iconic children's show is still holding it's own by ranking number twenty among kids two to five, with 850,000 viewers per episode.

That says a lot with all of the new shows on television today. Not to mention, Sesame Street has also been quite successful with the digital transition.

I know Sesame Street made an impact on our lives. What is your favorite Sesame Street memory?
