Let’s start with Sesame Street! They’ve been around since 1969, and there’s no stopping the furry Muppet puppets from edutainment series Sesame Street. You name the social issue, they tackle it on the show – from bullying to saying no to peer pressure and knowing how to cross the street safely… there’s no quest too big or too small for characters like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Big Bird and Elmo.
Did you know that there have been 52 seasons since Jim Henson’s creature creations started airing in the US? That’s over 4 500 episodes and they’re still going strong.
