Big Bird, Elmo and the Gang Turn 40


We all remember tuning into Bert and Ernie, Elmo, and Big Bird in the mornings when we were young. For the past 40 years, kids in more than 140 countries have shared in the same childhood experience. Sesame Street recently announced that it would be giving the program and new look and format to excite audiences. Apparently, Sesame Street has been constantly updating their programming to include changes changes in technology over of the years. They have said that they are the most well-researched show in television history which can explain the 122 Emmy's they have won. And don't forget toys like Tickle-me-elmo who has been the toy to get over the years. This shows just how influential and lucrative the Sesame Street Brand is. I can remember tuning into Sesame Street when I was a kid and loving it. It was funny, light, and educational, but of course I didn't care that I was learning when I was laughing. Sesame Street holds a fond place in many of our hearts. Happy Birthday, Sesame Street. Keep up the good work!
