Visiting Sesame Street

As mentioned, yesterday we found ourselves on Sesame Street, where even the sunny days couldn't sweep the rain clouds away—but Elmo & Co. sure made it all seem a little bit brighter. Speaking of the lil red guy, he had a message for you all:

The series is now filming their 40th season, which will begin airing next November. From Big Bird's doors, to the stoop, to Oscar's garbage can...the set has pretty much remained the same for all those decades, while PBS and the show remain ad-free (check out some of the brands on the shelf at Hooper's). And don't forget: you can make your own muppet now!

We'll be heading back to Sesame soon to ask the muppets some hard-hitting questions, if you have any questions you need answers to—leave them in the comments!

    SO, Sesame St. is really....



    Columbus Circle!

    It's the only place on earth where the A,B,1, and 2 all stop.

    It's just two block's over from Mr. Rogers neighborhood. That's probably what's throwing you off Amanda.

    Sesame street looks so cozy that all tenants must be gay

  • Wza

    One of the best shows ever!



    Add Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact to the list too!

    The second I saw that sign with the loaf of bread, et al., I immediately had to find the clip that came from.

    The co-creator of Sesame Street was my old landlord (actually his daughter was, because he's dead.) He lived for many years in Brooklyn Heights and then in Boerum Hill from 1975 until his death in 1998. His daughter said Boerum Hill was the model of Sesame Street, specifically Smith Street. He used to live at 63 Wyckoff, where I lived also until about a year ago.

    How much is the rent for an apartment on sesame street? Looks like a nice neighborhood.



    to #3, I'm pretty sure they film the show in some studios in LIC, Queens. I could be wrong though.

    Worm Clown magazine is the BEST.

    How can I get to Sesame Street? I would love to go see for myself.

  • Snoopy

    I know this might not be appropriate for some viewers, but I saw this clip and I thought Ernie was murdered. Is that true?

    I'm loving the subway station.



    I always wanted to know what was behind the red and blue doors on Oscar's alley.
