For my 300th post on this channel, here's the classic skit from 1975 where Grover demonstrates the difference between near and far. This is one of those segments that people always seem to remember clearly, regardless of how many years ago they last saw it.

Cookie kicks it old school, from 1987. This song was written by Chris Cerf, and I actually like the original version, made before the show's recent nutrition obsession. 15 years later the song was remade with a guest vocal by Wyclef Jean of the Fugees, but I can't stand the new version.

Some of Big Bird and Snuffy's comments are quite amusing. Look, this new character actually makes *us* look smart by comparison!

Sesame Street - Breakfast Time Sesame Street - Breakfast Time
Posted by: NantoVision

Video duration: 264 seconds

From 1977, one of my all-time favorite songs by Jeff Moss. Ernie has invited Cookie Monster over for breakfast, but the two of them have very different ideas about what to eat.
For years I couldn't remember all of the words to this song, but I'd find myself singing Ernie's first line when pouring a bowl of cereal.
