The ensuing creation - in which kids learned everything from empathy to arithmetic under the tutelage of colorful creatures like an 8-ft.-tall canary and a misanthropic garbage-can dweller - was greeted with acclaim by parents, teachers and even President Richard Nixon. Four decades later, it's a cultural touchstone that remains required viewing...
