Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "Street Gang" by Michael Davis and Michael Justin Davis to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Street Gang"Browse more products related to "Michael Davis and Michael Justin Davis"Review"Davis writes with such vivid details that one can almost see the brownstone houses and the furry, feathery, fresh-faced Muppets with googly eyes talking to human friends like David, Bob, Gordon and Susan." "[T]he author's swift narrative...is essentially a Dumpster dive into Oscar's trash can of cast stories...and even public controversy...It's a sensitive, honest account that could jog fond memories even from the amnesiac "Street" denizen Forgetful Jones." Publisher's note"A former family television editor for TV Guide traces the story of the landmark children's television show, from its origins at a dinner party by co-founder Joan Ganz Cooney and the creative achievements of Jim Henson to the Nixon administration's efforts to stop its funding and the advent of Elmo. 60,000 first printing." AnnotationConsidering that an estimated 70-odd million American kids have befriended Big Bird, Oscar, and the crew since their debut in 1969, Michael Davis should have a wide audience for STREET GANG: THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF SESAME STREET. Joan Ganz Cooney, Jim Henson, and a host of writers, designers, and execs turned a revolutionary experiment in educational programming into the industry standard. With a raft of interviews and evident love, Davis tells the story of this classic program, whose cultural impact was only matched by its good times--prime example: "Rubber Ducky" was a pop-music chart topper in 1970!
