Guess what? We can finally tell you how to get, how to get to Sesame Street.
After 55 years on air, the iconic children’s series—that made its debut on Nov. 10, 1969—is still one of the most beloved TV shows, by children and adults.
After debuting on national public television provider PBS, Sesame Street made household names out of Jim Henson’s beloved Muppets such as Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Bert, Ernie, Mr. Snuffleupagus and more. Plus, it helped educate children about letters, numbers and, over time, more serious subject matters, like death, divorce and drug addiction.
All these years (and more than 4,700 episodes!) later, the show is as popular as ever, with a reported 100 percent brand recognition globally, airing in 180 countries.
But did you know one state actually banned the series, which moved from PBS to HBO in 2015? And that two Muppets were retired after sparking controversy? Oh, and that Kermit the Frog actually exited the show after just one season? It really isn’t easy being green.
