Top 10 Sesame Street Characters

This week's top ten has been brought to you by the letters D, K and S... and by the number 4! We are honoring Sesame Street this week, because it debuted on November 10th, 1969. It is hard to believe that it has been on the air for 40 years. We all remember watching Sesame Street growing up - and then showing the famous characters with the famous sketches to our own children!

1. Big Bird - This big yellow bird can roller skate, ice skate, dance, sing, write poetry, draw, and even ride a unicycle. What a talented guy, even if he does still have a teddy bear named Radar.
2. Oscar the Grouch - We all feel grouchy sometimes! And even though Oscar claims he hates being with people, we know that he hates being alone more. We also love Oscar's pet, Slimy, the Worm.
3. Cookie Monster - "Me Want Cookie!" And who doesn't! Cookie Monsters insatiable love of cookies is universal! "We ALL want cookies!" (Especially Scott's homemade chocolate chip cookies!)
4. Bert and Ernie - This dynamic duo is hilarious! Ernie loves his rubber duckie and Bert has his pet pigeon, Bernice.
5. Grover - This cute, furry, little monster is adorable! And who are you gonna call? Super Grover!
6. Kermit the Frog - "Hi-ho, this is Kermit the Frog here, reporting for the Sesame Street News." - You gotta love this green guy, cuz it's not easy bein' green!
7. Mr. Snuffleupagus - Snuffy was so funny when everyone thought he was Big Bird's imaginary friend.
8. Count von Count - Since vampires are all the rage, The Count made our list! He is addicted to numbers like most vampires love blood....
9. Guy Smiley - "America's Favorite Game Show Host"
10. Elmo - Scott and Sundy watched the show pre-Elmo. And Sundy didn't want him to make the list. She can't stand his baby voice and giggle....
