Sesame Street

Availability information for this program

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:

• Grandparents' Day

  It's Grandparents' Day on Sesame Street! Everyone is coming together to celebrate with a cookout. Gabrielle and her Grandma Nell are making their family's world-famous Grandpa ZZ's Triple Cheesy Macareenie. While Elmo, Tamir and Gabrielle help Grandma Nell prepare the dish, Grandma Nell tells them the story of how her Grandpa ZZ's dish all started. Grandpa ZZ wanted to make macaroni and cheese to share with the family, but he didn't have enough cheese! He found three small pieces of cheese and mixed them with butter, and milk and created the Triple Cheesy Macareenie. The best part about making it is being able to cook it together as a family. Just like how Grandma Nell made it with her grandpa, Gabrielle and Tamir get to make it with Grandma Nell every year for Grandparents' Day.
