A major milestone for Elmo, Big Bird, Oscar The Grouch, and all their friends on Sesame Street! The crew that we all grew up with is turning 50 next month! Sesame Street is seen in over 100 countries. As the piece from PBS Newshour reports, it combines early childhood education with social and emotional learning, all while keeping the grown-ups entertained along with the kids with music, and of course, huge celebrity guests!
Over the course of 50 years, we're talking more than 45,000 episodes, 35 TV Specials, live tours, spin-offs and more!
I always loved Kermit's SESAME STREET NEWS reports! I can't wait until my little guy is old enough to watch just like I did at as kid!
