Transcript excerpt

Hey. When I was a kid, I used to watch PBS. I'd watch Sesame Street, and I loved Jim Henson and all of his puppets, and all the people there were so funny and great. And I learned a lot. And, one of my favorite things was this little cartoon that taught me how to count to 10, actually, to 12. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. And it was just really good music and really good animation, and it fired up my creativity like crazy. And it inspired me and, made me a better person. And, I wanna thank PBS, and that's why PBS is for viewers like me.
