If you go here and scroll down to “9/11 Video Galleries,” you can watch excerpts of NBC’s coverage of 9/11 as it originally unfolded. (Internet Explorer required – or, if you use Firefox, you can download the IE Tab extension.)

Classic old-school episodes of “Sesame Street” are coming to DVD next month. My mom will tell you that “Sesame Street” was my lifeblood as a toddler (I watched it two or three times a day, whenever it was on), so I’m definitely going to have to buy this Netflix this.

I wonder if the DVDs will include the animated chicken sketch. When I was little, there was apparently this sketch on the show with an animated chicken crossing a road, and apparently the first time I saw it I started screaming and crying in terror. I don’t remember this, but my mom says it happened, so I want to see it, just so I can relive a childhood trauma. Who wouldn’t want to do that?
