My Favorite Children TV Program

 

When I was a little girl, I remember very well that watching TV was an activity I couldn´t do whenever I wanted. My mom used to restrict the hours in which me and my sister could watch the programs we liked.

So, when the time to watch TV came, I used to get very excited. Moreover, in those days, making programs for children was not a priority for any TV station.

The program I am going to talk about is “Sesame Street”. I used to watch this program late afternoons every day. I loved this program because I could learn a lot of things, it wasn’t just a program for entertainment. Besides there were very funny sketches where different characters (puppets) played really hilarious roles.

I knew the names of all the characters; I loved that each one of them had different personalities so you could guess how they were going to react when they were faced to all the situations that happened in every episode. 

The one that I loved the most was Ernie, who appeared in the sketch “Ernie and Bert”. I loved Ernie because he was very smart, but at the same time kind of evil hahaha, I mean, not evil as doing bad things, but he had a kind of mean-innocent attitude, making witty remarks to make Bert lose his temper. That made me love him hahaha. Something that I’ll always remember is their sketch in the bedroom. They were both in their beds and about to fall asleep, and then, Ernie started to talk to Bert, sometimes asking a very absurd question such as “how many sides does a circle have?” and then Bert couldn’t fall asleep trying to think of an answer. But the one thing I remember until this day is the sketch in which Ernie tells Bert that their neighbor, who lives upstairs, has arrived home. He asked Bert to wait for their neighbor to drop his shoes on the floor. The funniest thing is that every time I listen to the sound of shoes falling on the floor, I remember Ernie not letting Bert fall asleep so that he could listen when their neighbor drops his shoes on the floor.

Now, it’s your time to talk about children programs (not cartoons)
