I am 30 now and I used to watch the letter people everyday when I was in Kindergarten. We even had the characters in the classroom. I'm very surprised when I ask people if they remember them and they have no idea. I also don't know why WMHT does not put them back on instead of some of the uneducational programs that they do have on. They are very useful in making it fun for kids to learn about the sounds of letters and the alphabet.
