Childhood Retrospective 001 – Fat Cat Sat Mat

I wanted to start a regular segment up on this blog and for the life of me I couldn’t think of what to do. But as I was trawling through youtube today I came across some of the old Sesame Street ‘ads’ that played in between the story segments of the show. It was then I thought of ‘Childhood Retrospective‘, it’ll basically be a post I put up every Thursday which will be all about a certain aspect (TV show, game, toy or whatever) of my childhood that I want to revisit, and hey it might bring back memories for other people too. So now onto the first CR.

SESAME STREET – FAT CAT SAT MAT

I was always a big fan of Sesame Street as a kid, and in a way I still am, mostly because I attribute the majority of my learning ability and intelligence to the hours and hours I used to sit in front of the TV watching it. Here is one of the shows ‘ads’ featuring some good ol’ rhyming and Sesame Street humour.
