Ding! Ding! Ding! 2023 is outta here, kids, so let's get Telly to ringading in 2024 as loudly as we can! Nutshell Update: This has been possibly THE worst year for me (it all kicked off in Feb/March when I lost my hubby of 24 years, pretty much downhill since then). Even my usual Sesame Street buddies couldn't raise my spirits. Frankly, I'm not really in a good place, but I wanted to do something to send this year off in style. Couldn't find this episode online, so I thought I'd share. As always, special thanks to my Secret Santa who sent this to me eons ago. Originally aired on January 24, 1984 (Season 15), this is Episode 1882 of the best darn kids show ever. The Street Story with Telly and the fire bell (0:50, 12:46, 21:34, 35:01, 54:07) was first shown on Episode 1592 (December 15, 1981; Season 13). Nothing new, but here's what we do have in this ep:
