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!

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.

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