Google has been playing homage to Sesame street with a different character or set of characters each day on their homepage.
Google has had the cookie monster, bert n ernie and today is Oscar the Grouch |

The Sesame Street formula is powerful and flexible. The format has been exported to about 120 countries where it is fine-tuned to take account of local circumstances.
The South African version, for example, includes a character called Kami who is HIV positive and whose mother died of HIV/AIDS. The use of a puppet in a children's TV series to teach lessons about tolerance and bereavement is proof that Sesame Street is flourishing as it reaches its 40th birthday and still finding new worlds to conquer.
Inevitably, as Sesame Street's anniversary approaches, you will hear lots of facts and figures about the scope and scale of its reach - foreign markets conquered, number of episodes taped, total weeks that it big songs (Rubber Ducky) have spent on the charts... that type of thing.
But the things that really matter cannot be counted - the number of hearts that have been lifted and the number of imaginations that have been fired over the years.
The Sesame Street mixture of slapstick, artfully disguised education and gentle moralising is a robust one and it seems certain to last many more years - continuing to teach the children of the world not just how to count, but how to become the kind of people who can be counted on.

"All part of the medias MULTICULTURAL experiment and indoctrination."
And you must be be fuming about how successful it turned out to be. A major contribution to overcoming racial and social hatred. The first really educational TV show there was for kids. |
