Sesame Street: The New Deal

For old times sake...





This article was interesting. I touched on the ways Sesmate Street has changed in order to cater to the new character of American children...

"In the early days of "Sesame Street" -- that is, B.E. (Before Elmo) -- Sesame Street was a pretty grimy place. The brownstone at 123 Sesame Street looked like it needed a serious power washing, the storefront of Mr. Hooper's shop was intentionally dingy and the Fix-It Shop's window was cluttered with toasters. It was gritty, but gritty in a magical way." ~ CNN
