Sesame Street is shown on PBS as a one-hour children's television program rated Y-7. Here in Los Angeles this is broadcast on KCET at 7 am and again at Noon Monday through Friday. This summer marks the 37th season of this award winning show introducing 27 brand new shows. Sesame Street has won over 100 Emmys.

The characters we all love on Sesame Street include Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Ernie, Bert, Telly, Prairie Dawn, Baby Bear, The Count, Zoe, Rosita and Grover. My family enjoys the antics of both Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch. We have had Tickle Me Elmo and the Cookie Monster Crunch Game.

This season Sesame Street will focus on school readiness, covering issues such as healthy eating, meeting new friends, personal hygiene and physical activities. Viewers will follow along the new character of Abby Caddaby as she heads off to school with Baby Bear. Abby uses magic to express herself.

We are looking forward to viewing the new episodes to see how the show has evolved with new paraodies and guest appearances by Today Show host Matt Lauer and Jamie Foxx and John Legend.
