I am a parent of a 12 year old boy, are you a parent?
Yes, I have a daughter that is getting ready to turn 4
My son loves Spongebob SquarePants and he watched the 2015 SpongeBob SquarePants 400. 
My daughter is a little young for spongebob.  She's more into sesame street and daniel tiger's neighborhood.
Sesame Street is a great show, it is both educational and fun to watch. 
It really is.  I had forgotten how great it is until she got old enough to watch it.  They have the special guests that keep the parent's attention.
in 1996 they did a study and it showed that 95% of children had watched Sesame street. That is an astounding number!
That is an incredible amount of children.  Did your son watch Sesame Street when he was younger?
Yes, he had a speech issue when he was younger and the show focused on cognitive skills, and it helped his self-esteem alot. 
What a great story.  Sesame Street is an incredible program for children
