Sesame Street is an American educational children's
television series for preschoolers and is a pioneer of
the contemporary educational television standard,
combining both education and entertainment. Sesame Street is well known for its Muppet characters, created by the puppeteer Jim Henson. More than 4,134 episodes
of the show have been produced in 36 seasons, which makes it one of the longest-running television shows in history.

With its positive influence, Sesame Street is the most highly regarded educational show for children in the world. The series was designed to help preschoolers build the skills needed to provide a smooth transition
from home to school. Sesame Street uses a combination
of puppets, animation, and live actors to teach young children the basics of reading (letter and word recognition), mathematics (numbers, addition and subtraction), as well as geometric forms, and classification. Since the show's inception, other instructional goals have been basic life skills, such as how to cross the street safely, proper hygiene, healthy eating habits, and social skills. The original series has been televised in 120 countries, and more than 20 international versions have been produced, not including dubbed versions. The series has received 109 Emmy Awards, more than any other television series. An estimated 75 million Americans have watched the series as children; millions more have watched around the world, as have their parents.

» The Story
This year Elmo will be pondering the question:
What would happen if all the colors of the world disappeared? The colors begin to vanish as Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, and the whole gang performs an array of musical numbers including “Fuzzy and Blue,” “Red-hot Tango” and “Yellow Polka”as well as Sesame Street classics “Sing,” “Sunny Days”
and “I Love Trash”. Along the way, they learn the importance of sharing, diversity and acceptance of others - even those with no color at all. Kids of all ages can join in the fun, because no one is too old or too cool to sing, dance, clap along and have a good time.
