I can honestly say that no other series influenced my childhood creativity more than Sesame Street. To this day I can recall how episodes taught about self-love and accepting cultural differences, and how the show made education fun through the use of lovable puppet characters, colorful animations, and memorable songs.

If that small dose of nostalgia made you smile, be sure to watch  “Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days”, a special documentary about the iconic show airing tonight on ABC at 8 pm EST. Special guests include Lucy Liu, John Legend, Questlove, and W. Kamau Bell.
