Sesame Street turns 40

Sesame Street has been in the hearts and homes of families for 40 years, in 140 different countries.They are the deserving winners of 122 Emmy Awards, which have helped it to become the longest running children's series ever. November 10th the new season of our favorite Muppet's kicks off with a two year science initiative, "My World is Green and Growing." There will still be the emphasis on the importance of literacy and mathematics. This new format, however, is designed to increase positive attitudes towards nature and encourage care and respect for the environment. 

The new season will be star-studded. Guest stars will include such names as Cameron Diaz, who will be on the premiere episode, and Adam Sandler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kobe Bryant, Eva Longoria, Christina Applegate, Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, and more.

Tune into your PBS station on November 10, 2009 with your generation of Sesame Street Kids.
