SESAME STREET has garnered more than 100 awards, including 101 Emmys, two Peabodys, four Parents' Choice Awards and an Action for Children's Television Special Achievement Award. The series delivers academic and social education that prepares kids for grade school. Since its premiere, the show's base curriculum has been set by academic research on preschoolers. Encore episodes focus on music and art and how these tools can be used to develop the whole child - the cognitive, social, emotional and physical attributes. In addition, "Elmo's World," which looks at the world through the eyes of a three-year-old, continues as a featured segment. Themes include birthdays, pets, teeth, families, games and more.

Episodes:

  • Just Right!

    Elmo, Mia, Charlie, James, and Baby Bear are playing out the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. When Mia says she wants to play Goldilocks, James says she can't because Mia doesn't look like Goldilocks. Mia is not wearing a dress, doesn't have blonde hair, and doesn't have the same skin color as Goldilocks. Mia explains that she should get to play Goldilocks; the color of her hair and skin shouldn't matter. James thinks Charlie should play Goldilocks since she looks more like her. Nina helps James realize that the best part of acting out a story is that you can be anyone you want to be, no matter the color of their skin or how they look. James apologizes to Mia and Mia thanks her friends for being upstanders with her.
