Sesame Street Celebrates 40 Years

[DimeraFan28]

I Just Love This Show, I remember watching this when I was living on the farm in Canton South Dakota, and It was on Public Television In South Dakota, and I also remember watching Shining Time Station, Mister Roger's Neighborhood, Captain Kangaroo, Star Lore, Storylords, Square One TV, Once Upon A Time, ect, ect, I hope when my two nieces are older, I'm going to introduce this and Other Old PBS Shows, so that They'll Love It, Like I have Before Them.

[spongebob4evar]

[DimeraFan28]

May The Next Generaition (including my two nieces) enjoy this show, like the present day generaition (including me) did before them. and in case anyone forgot......(clears throat, takes a deep breath).....Sesame Street Is Brought To You All This Evening By The Letter E (for many daytime emmys) and the number 40, Happy 40 Years Sesame Street, and many more to come.

[thedarcevader]

[DimeraFan28]

May The Next Generaiton (including my nieces) Would Love Sesame Street , Like The Present Day Generaiton Before Them, Oh Btw If Jim Henson (r.i.p) was still alive, I think he'll be so proud at what he did.

[DimeraFan28]

I Hope When My Neices's Are Older, I'm Going To Get Them Into Watching Sesame Street.

[djizzle96]

I will always luv sesame street

OK LETS CUT THE CAKE

[DimeraFan28]

I Still Hope That When My Two Nieces Are Older, I Still Hope They'll Get A Chance To Watch This Show And Also Love The Muppets, As I Have Before Them.

[nellie2581]

[FSXaddict5]

[DimeraFan28]

[gman6930]

[DimeraFan28]

I Hope When My Niece's are older, I hope they get a chance to watch this show, and love all the muppets, like I have before them.

[Videoryu]

What episode is 0:42 - 0:44 come from?

[brettfoshager]

That pink fairy thing is Abby Cadabby.

[aiboluver]

What happened to Zoe's Hair??

[DimeraFan28]

I Still Think that Jim Henson (r.i.p) Would still be so proud at his creations.

[kkburnout]

3:42 WHOS BEHIND THE TABLE :o

[SenseOfFailure]

3:11 wow, is that big bird? He's changed a lot over the last 40 years.

[DimeraFan28]

@six66www, Amen to that.

[Studmeister17]

Abby ruins it for me.

[DimeraFan28]

I hope my two nieces would watch this show, and learn from it, like i have before them.

[PieFights]

Sesame Work shop use to be called CTW

[zorokid]

why dose no one have love for telly?

T.T

also who is that pink farie thing

[FSXaddict5]

abby's flying fairy school is such a waste of time

[DimeraFan28]

I'll Bet that Jim Henson (r.i.p) Would be So Proud At His Creations.

[Angie2343]

@DimeraFan28 He is. Remember the last scene of "A Muppet Family Christmas"?

[1990SuperGeek]

I don't really care for Abby Cadabby!

[TherealRNO]

@1990SuperGeek: I don't mind Abby. In fact, I don't even mind Elmo. The only things I really mind are the oversaturation of only a few characters so that the others don't get a chance to appear as often & now, the recent jump to overusing CGI to the point that I fear that the actual Muppets will be phased out for CGI renditions of themselves.

[DimeraFan28]

I'll Bet The Hosts Of The Today Show Proberly Watched This Wonderful Show When They Were Little.

[otherjoe1234]

yeah the producers were afraid the monsters would frighten children. boy were they wrong

[TofuPuppets]

3:07 what dvd is that from and what song is that?

[anarchyvol1]

think about the dvd box set

[edwthompson313]

What's that pink puppet? I haven't seen Sesame street in about 30 years and have no memory of her... but she's annoying as hell.

[KittyAlvin7902]

Abby appeared in 2006 so that's why you don't know her

[65soda]

u mean Prarie Dawn

[edroth555]

pause at 3:43 and you see the arm of the puppeteer

[Toiletcoffee]

Thank you for posting this ! I missed it on TV.

[Angie2343]

I hate Zoe's new design.

[antsamthompson9]

I do too. But, the good thing is they saw what a mistake they made and are currently using the old Zoe puppet. Very nice clip. I love the end where Cookie, Elmo, and Abby just want to eat the cake.

[Angie2343]

How are they gonna explain it on camera?

I talked to Fran Brill, Zoe's performer and close friend, myself. She hasn't aged a day!

[antsamthompson9]

I don't know. I met Fran once too.

[20Pops09]

Sesame St. rocks! when my mom came to the US she learned english from watching it and she 13 yrs old. nd yea Abby Cadabby SUCKZ!!!! COOKIE MONSTER THE STUF!!!

[ilovemuslimfood666]

Sesame Street can teach you everything you need to know. How to count, how to sing, how to eat cookies, etc. I have yet to see them teach sex ed, though.

[Angie2343]

They might not be able to do that. But if they need to be persuaded, the Muppets can talk about eligibility for a public office.

[SI3DFilms]

What was the episode at 0:42?

[unkomannn]

the fairy character sucks.

Cookie monster rules.

[6n7b]

i have hoyu

[Evelyn40420]

Children always have been and still are the only good, pure and bright thing we have in this world messed up by adults, they are they last drop of hope we have. Please take care of every child that comes in your way and protect them all by doing something little to make this world, their house, a better place for them to live...

[SPAD110]

My god, my dad has told me about the premiere of this show when he was 6. He showed me this show for the sake of education, other than some other unusual shows that a 10 year old would watch. And I have to say, 4,187 episodes makes sense if it's gone for 40 years and went into so many countries. Who knows? Maybe SS could exsist in 2019, and it could be 50. Sad that Henson didn't make it to this day.

[SPAD110]

And happy 40th, Sesame Street.

[ben10masta10]

everyone ons elmo

[DoozyJr]

But obviously you are too old for Pokemon.

[PokemonSonicand14]

im 9 not tooo old just old for Pokemon

[ashleydemiselenafan2]

3:12 what happened to his head?

cookie monster is the best

[MishuTaste]

I can't believe the adults on the show finally met Snuffleupagus.

[sea2see2me]

the guy reports are all stiff....haha

[redsfan22002]

I love doing elmo's voice. I hope I can be able to do it on the show someday. I'll get a video posted at some point.

[TKGB2006]

One reason for it's success is because you can't hate this show. It's too good to be hated. Even if you are 30, you still love this show because the characters are timeless.

Happy 40th Sesame Street.

[DakariKingMykan]

*Sighs*

And Jim only made it to 20 years.

God bless that man

[redsfan22002]

Mykan, interesting seeing you here. Wasn't expecting even to see one of your comments outside of a digimon video. Haha!

[RobertMProductions]

Apparently he died of that flesh eating disease, and he was the one that made Sesame Street famous with his characters.

[MysonbeWise]

See NWO Solution

[Ynnepchan]

Anyone know when these new eps air in Central time?

[Ynnepchan]

Gosh, Elmo's a little player. XD Gah! I love this sow so much. I miss Bert and Ernie being in here more.

[scooterbusby]

Watch closely for the indoctrination of our children! Telling cookie monster to eat healthy? He's a cookie monster he eats junk food? What have we turned into?

[Mystrymeat]

Health obsessed, that's what. If they really wanted to suppress obesity they should start with what's in what we're eating and not what we're watching.

[DarthZachary]

ok yea ummm you really think ur kid will reconize the letter C faster if its related to Cucumber? They are kids man they love cookies and it speeds up the learning process lol its up to you as a parent to teach em to eat healthy since ur servin the food lol

[Jethrofinger]

Aw...Lynn Thigpen at 1:34 I think. God, I miss her.

Happy 40th, Sesame Street.

[TherealRNO]

Jethro: *sings* "Where in the World is..."

"Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street"?

[SqueeJohnny420]

Yay Sesame Street!!!!

[crazylittlemoose]

i cant stand maniquins, puppets, dolls and creepy stuff with lifeless faces...but the muppets and puppets of sesame street??....looooooove themmmm lol

[carabookid]

I've been a fan of sesame street all my life since I was 3 I used to dream about being on sesame street.

[Lordodragonss]

Lol I am 20 right now and I still want to meet characters!

Aspecialy Groover, Big Bird and Cookie monster!

[sha8808]

aww you can see the puppeteers behind the counter :(

[redemption2]

The counter wasn't big enough. You can't really help that, they're used to working with bigger sets. I can't help but laugh as Elmo keeps looking through the 0 in 40.

[Ynnepchan]

Abby's just got long legs. lol ^^

[Gnickk]

She's obviously sitting on a high stool behind that counter.
