sesame street
A landmark series set in an ethnically diverse urban neighborhood where every day is a sunny one. It features songs, skits, animation and, of course, Muppets to teach preschoolers basic educational and social concepts. A public-television gem that's older than PBS itself, 'Sesame Street' debuted in 1969 on National Educational Television. Since that time, this influential show has won more Emmys than any other in TV history (more than 90 at last count) and can be seen in more than 140 countries.

  • Neil Patrick Harris Shows Off His Fairy Shoes! | Today's News: Our Take | 7/25/2008
    What's better than seeing NPH riding a unicorn while trippin' on shrooms? How about NPH donning little white wings and singing about footwear as he plays The Shoe Fairy on Sesame Street? Turns out Harris is all about belting out the tunes these days (also starting in Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog), and in this PBS skit, the How I Met Your Mother star sings about his high-tops, polka dot flip-flops and every shoe under the sun they could find to rhyme.

  • Feist Counts "1,2,3,4" for Sesame Street | Today's News: Our Take | 7/15/2008
    Feist really hit it big not too long ago when their song, "1,2,3,4" was featured in a new ad for video iPods, but this Sesame Street version of the single gives Apple's video a run for its money. We do have one slight qualm about the video, though. If the whole point of the song is about learning and loving to count, then where is The Count?! read more
  • Jessica Alba, David Beckham Heat Up Sesame Street | Today's News: Our Take | 6/19/2008
    Well, tickle me' Elmo, but were the guest stars on Sesame Street always this hot? I just remember Mr. Hooper and all those married couples in leisure suits.The seminal kids' show launches its 39th season on Aug. 11 with a veritable parade of hotness: Jessica Alba, David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Neil Patrick Harris, Sandra Oh, Jenny McCarthy and Dolphins defensive end (and Dancing With the Stars runner-up) Jason Taylor will attempt to help the nuggets with their reading, writing and arithmetic, but will mostly be on hand just to kick their sexual development into gear. Can you spell H-O-R-M-O-N-E-S, kids?"The Street" will also include some "legitimate" guest stars. Will Arnett, who knows a thing or two about playing an "illusionist," will portray a new character, Max the Magician, a prestidigitator (look it up) who teaches kids math with his "tricks." Feist will appear, and will presumably sing that "1 2 3 4" song that lodged in my brain for much of last year after it appeared on an iPo... read more
  • Sopranos Stop by Sesame Street | Today's News: Our Take | 12/21/2007
    The Sopranos Hit Up Sesame StreetLeave it to Bert and Ernie to get all Hollywood on us. Our favorite puppet duo has moved behind the camera to direct their own sketches, and guess who they managed to get to play their parts? The Sopranos' Tony Sirico and Steve Schirripa. How can you resist seeing Paulie Walnuts with a bushy unibrow and Bobby Bacala with a tri-colored, striped sweater? We can just hear it now: “Ey, Ernie, you talkin’ to me?” Hmm...wonder what their rendition of “Rubber Duckie” would be like.
