- On Family Guy, many of the elements of Sesame Street, especially those that made it appeal to children, are lampooned in its cutaway gags. The show's Muppet characters are given gritty, often adult and less-than-admirable characteristics. Several of Sesame Street's segments have figured into episodes, usually as jokes. Big Bird first appeared in "A Picture's Worth a Thousand Bucks", attracted by Meg Griffin's bird calls. His legs were considered for transplant in "Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air".

- The Sesame Street Gang was an evil group of evil creatures, known as Puppets. Led by Darth Elmo at the command of his master, Darth Small, the legendary planet destruction team provided unparalleled planet destruction and also offered a variety of other options, such as the infamous moon destroying option as well as the highly feared forest wipeouts. Their base was located inside Darth Fat Guy's fat ass, but nobody ever found it, due to Elmo's Force hide and seek. Feared by many, Sesame Street became an instant unstoppable force. They destroyed over 9000 planets. However, their destruction streak came to an abrupt halt when the team tried to destroy a planet. To their shock, the attempt failed. The bombs they placed failed to explode, as Cookie Monster had tried to save money by purchasing

- On Family Guy, many of the elements of Sesame Street, especially those that made it appeal to children, are lampooned in its cutaway gags. The show's Muppet characters are given gritty, often adult and less-than-admirable characteristics. Several of Sesame Street's segments have figured into episodes, usually as jokes. Cookie Monster entered rehab in "Model Misbehavior" due to his cookie addiction. After being injected several times, he was soon released. He went back on his cookie binge, being caught by Lois Griffin free-basing in a women's restroom. He played the Hoth Wampa in Something, Something, Something, Dark Side. Big Bird first appeared in "A Picture's Worth a Thousand Bucks", attracted by Meg Griffin's bird calls. His legs were considered for transplant in "Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air". He returned in "Brian's Play" as a meth addict to one of Beaker's inventions. The Baker films segment was parodied in "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" and "Petarded". Large Bird, Moody Green Garbage Creature, Bernie, and Gert, parodies of Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Bert, and Ernie, are characters created for the American adaptation of Jolly Farm Revue, which began production in "Go, Stewie, Go!". Bert and Ernie star in Homicide: Life on Sesame Street, which crosses this program with the crime drama Homicide: Life on the Street. Their bedroom is replicated and occupied by Rob Lowe and Adam West in "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven". The lamp in the bedroom contains the Family Guy universe. The Count appears in an episode during "Family Guy Viewer Mail" segment "SuperGriffins", and Peter Griffin asks Brian Griffin whether The Count has ever killed humans, and Brian informs him it's not the case. The Count also almost had sex with Meg in "Partial Terms of Endearment". Grover was nominated for an Academy Award in "April in Quahog" and "called" Stewie Griffin on his play phone in "Model Misbehavior". Stewie asks Brian if Elmo and Santa Claus are alike in terms of existence in "Road to the North Pole". In "Be Careful What You Fish For", Billy Finn compares Peter's penis to 'Mr Snufalufagus' a character from Sesame Street that many of that show's characters believed didn't really exist. Stewie goes back in time to 1960's Quahog and tells a baby Lois about how Sesame Street will come along soon and become a huge success in "Valentine's Day in Quahog". In "A Lot Going On Upstairs", Stewie uses the power of his dreams to transform himself into Elmo, noting that he speaks bad English on an educational show.

- Joan Ganz Cooney of the Children's Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop) created this hourlong PBS series in 1969. Initially, it was created as a means of preparing young inner-city children for kindergarten. Instead, it got to everybody and became one of the all-time great educational shows. The show teaches literacy, counting, simple logic and the What Happens Next machine, see below, demonstrate tools of logic and reasoning such as trial and error, process of eliminations, and cause and effect, and social skills through a kaleidoscopic mix of puppetry, animation and short films. In a radical departure for the time, it was designed to deliberately mimic the fast pace and style of TV advertising in order to 'sell' learning to kids: An Aesop-friendly story featuring the recurring characters on the Street would be intercut with rapid-fire 'commercials' for that day's 'sponsors' ("Sesame Street has been brought to you today by the letters A and S, and the number 7..."). The show was -- and still is -- also revolutionary in having an elite squad of educators and child psychologists pore over every single aspect of every segment in the whole show. "Sesame Street" has been called a living laboratory, and the show has been constantly tweaked to introduce new curriculum and improve its educational value. Most recently, the show was completely retooled in 2002 to respond to new child development research. As per The Other Wiki: The set has expanded and contracted over the years but in classic form is a typical New York cul-de-sac, with a brownstone apartment block, a convenience store, a boarded-off vacant lot, and a big open area at one end used as a playground. This urban setting, multiracial human cast (plus guest stars, including Jesse Jackson and Bill Cosby) and multicoloured Muppets added to the hip, inclusive feel. Although aimed at preschool children, Sesame Street deliberately includes enough mainstream pop culture references to entertain older children and parents as well, the better to encourage family involvement in the learning process. A cameo appearance on the Street quickly became celebrity chic, showcasing such diverse stars as Stevie Wonder, REM, Madeline Kahn, the Star Wars droids, Paul Simon, Mel Gibson and Patrick Stewart. All of this has had the side benefit of the show developing a very strong adult fanbase over the decades, as the original audiences have grown up and introduced the show to their children. On November 11, 2009, Sesame Street celebrated its 40th anniversary, making it the longest-running and most successful children's show in American TV history. For the sake of education, we hope it stays around for at least 50 more. The human cast has varied over the years, but the core has remained relatively stable: Black married couple Susan and Gordon (and later their adopted son Miles), who work as a nurse and a junior-high science teacher, respectively. Puerto Rican college student Maria and (until 1990) black student and store clerk David. White freelance musician Bob and (until 2003) his deaf librarian girlfriend Linda. Hispanic "Fix-It Shop" owner Luis, who later married Maria. They have a daughter, Gabriella. When Will Lee -- who played crotchety storekeeper with a heart of gold Mr. Hooper -- died mid-season in 1983, the show tackled the character's death head-on, with honesty, dignity and respect, in what is still considered a milestone of children's programming. His store's ownership has changed hands a number of times -- Mr. Hooper left the store to his assistant David, who sold it to black retired firefighter Mr. Handford following his own departure, who handed over ownership to Japanese-American Alan in 1998 -- but the store retains Mr. Hooper's name to this day. Various specialised Muppets, created and performed by Jim Henson and his crew, star alongside the humans. The Sesame Muppet characters were initially intended as parts of the "commercial" shorts that would only air on occasion, but they became such a hit that the show was tweaked very early in the season to include them into the core structure. They were developed separately from the rest of the Henson stable and are the property of what is now Sesame Workshop; with the exception of Kermit the Frog, they only very rarely cross over into the Muppet Show universe. Disney's recent deal to purchase those characters now prohibits Kermit from appearing on the show anymore .

Because of its widespread influence, Sesame Street has earned the distinction of being one of the world's foremost and most highly regarded educators of young people. Few television series can match its level of recognition and success on the international stage. The original series has been televised in 120 countries, and more than 20 international versions have been produced. In its long history, Sesame Street has received more Emmy Awards than any other program, and has captured the allegiance, esteem, and affections of millions of viewers worldwide.

Shortly after creating Sesame Street, its producers developed what came to be called the "CTW model" (named for the show's production company, the Children's Television Workshop), a system of television show planning, production, and evaluation based on collaborations between producers, writers, educators, and researchers. The show was initially funded by government and private foundations but has become somewhat self-supporting due to revenues from licensing arrangements, international sales, and other media. By 2006, there were independently produced versions, or "co-productions", of Sesame Street broadcast in twenty countries. In 2001 there were over 120 million viewers of various international versions of Sesame Street, and by the show's 40th anniversary in 2009, it was broadcast in more than 140 countries. By its 40th anniversary in 2009, Sesame Street was the fifteenth-highest rated children's television show in the United States. A 1996 survey found that 95% of all American preschoolers had watched the show by the time they were three years old. In 2008, it was estimated that 77 million Americans had watched the series as children. As of 2014, Sesame Street has won 159 Emmy Awards and 8 Grammy Awards—more than any other children's show. In MYCUN: The Movie, Elmo appeared as a supporting character in the film.

Tony Daniels came in from London to play C-3PO for these episodes. Rather than have Kenny Baker reprise R2-D2, however, R2-D2 was radio-controlled in all of the episodes. Craig Miller was producer for Lucasfilm on the episodes and also operated R2s head. Also working on the shoot from Lucasfilm were Louis Friedman and Shelly Bobrick. A radio control specialist from Industrial Light and Magic whose name is lost maintained R2-D2 during the three day shoot and was R2's main operator. Star Wars is also parodied/tributed in a Crumby Pictures parody sketch called Star S'mores.

- Sesame Street is an American educational children's television series produced by the non-profit Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), which was founded by Joan Ganz Cooney and Ralph Rogers. The show premiered on 10 November 1969, and is the longest running children's program on television. Sesame Street uses a combination of animation, puppets, and live actors to stimulate young children's minds, improve their letter and word recognition, basic arithmetic, geometric forms, classification, simple problem solving, and socialization by showing people in their everyday lives. Since the show's inception, other instructional goals have included basic life skills (such as how to cross the street safely), proper hygiene, healthy eating habits, and social skills. The producers and writers decided to build the new show around an inner-city street, the eponymous Sesame Street. They wanted to attract inner-city viewers, so they reproduced these viewers' neighborhoods as the show's setting—a realistic city street, complete with peeling paint, alleyways, front porches, and garbage cans. The cast needed to reflect the diversity of this kind of neighborhood, at first with a mix of White and African-American actors, and later with the addition of Hispanic and Asian actors. Sesame Street freely mingles its puppet and human characters. The former are "Muppets", a type of marionette created by Jim Henson. They are presented as being independent of the puppeteer, who is usually not visible, instead being hidden behind a set or outside the camera frame. Creative use of a mix of technologies has even allowed scenes in which Muppets appear to be dancing, riding a bicycle, or rowing a boat. A common design for a Jim Henson Muppet is a character with a very wide mouth and large protruding eyes. The puppets are moulded or carved out of various types of foam, and then covered with such material as fleece or fur. Adapted from the Wikipedia articles on Sesame Street and The Muppets.

Sesame Street is well known for its Muppet characters created by Jim Henson. As of 2007, 4,160 episodes of the show have been produced over 38 seasons. Sesame Street is one of the longest-running U.S. television shows in history. Sesame Street joined the Little Golden Books shows in the early 70s, beginning with The Together Book (1971), The Monster at the End of This Book (1971) and Bert's Hall of Great Inventions (1972). The Monster at the End of This Book was an instant bestseller -- in its first year of publication, the book sold two million copies. According to a 1973 Children's Television Workshop newsletter, "this figure, according to publishing sources, is an all-time one-year sales record for a single book." The Sesame Street line continued through the 1970s with Oscar's Book (1975), Big Bird's Red Book (1977), Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree (1977), and Grover's Own Alphabet (1978). The four 1979 titles -- Ernie's Work of Art, The Four Seasons, The Many Faces of Ernie and The Amazing Mumford Forgets the Magic Words! -- are essentially comic books, with all of the text appearing in word balloons. In his autobiography The Wisdom of Big Bird, Caroll Spinney recalled looking at a Little Golden Book: "Surrounding a list of other Little Golden Books titles was a border fashioned from a curving musical staff. Dancing along with the musical notes were Minnie and Goofy, Donald and Daisy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Dopey, Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam -- and Big Bird and Oscar. These were my characters, perfectly cartooned, dancing with my favorite cartoon characters from childhood... 'My God.' I said. 'I've gotten up there with Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse!'" Sesame Street Little Golden Books were published continuously though the 1980s and 1990s, with at least one new title (and often two or three) published almost every year. Titles included I Think That It Is Wonderful (1984), The Day Snuffy Had the Sniffles (1988), Big Bird Visits Navajo Country (1992), From Trash to Treasure (1993), and Another Monster at the End of This Book (a sequel to the 1971 book, including Grover and Elmo) (1996). When the Tickle Me Elmo doll became the surprise hit of Christmas 1996, the Little Golden Books cashed in the following year with a batch of Elmo titles -- Tickle Me: My Name is Elmo, Elmo Loves You and The Bunny Hop -- as well as Big Bird's Ticklish Christmas. In another 1997 book, Golden Books combined two of their publishing powerhouses in The Poky Little Puppy Comes to Sesame Street. The last Sesame Street Little Golden Books -- Big Bird's Baby Book, Elmo's New Puppy, Elmo's Tricky Tongue Twisters and First Steps -- were published in 1998. Many of the Sesame Little Golden Books have remained in print in various forms. Random House reprinted several titles under the "" imprint in 1999, and Dalmatian Press has reprinted some as board books and paperbacks. One popular title, 1997's Elmo Loves You, was reprinted by Random House in 2000 as a Jellybean Book, and in 2002 as a board book, then by Dalmatian as a shaped board book in 2005 and a paperback in 2008. In 2001, to celebrate the upcoming 60th anniversary of the first Little Golden Books, Random House began publishing a line of Little Golden Books Classics, beginning with reprints of six books. The Monster at the End of This Book was reissued as a Big Little Golden Book in 2004, and Another Monster at the End of This Book joined the Little Golden Books Classics line in August 2009.

Today it is a notorious haunt of weapons salesmen, drug pushers and ice cream trucks who -- despite public outrage -- have managed to export their filth through a PBS television program by disguising themselves as horrible monsters who frequent whorehouses, crackhouses and children's daytime schools.
- The name Sesame Street derives from a Babbleish term, which translates to "Place where you will die." The term was chosen out of a hat when a street was created, and it is believed Giygas is the one who slipped such a terrible term in there as a joke.
- Peanuts and Sesame Street characters and based attractions appear together in Universal Studios Japan.
- The Sesame Street Gang was an evil group of evil creatures, known as Puppets. Led by Darth Elmo at the command of his master, Darth Small, the legendary planet destruction team provided unparalleled planet destruction and also offered a variety of other options, such as the infamous moon destroying option as well as the highly feared forest wipeouts. Their base was located inside Darth Fat Guy's fat ass, but nobody ever found it, due to Elmo's Force hide and seek. Feared by many, Sesame Street became an instant unstoppable force. They destroyed over 9000 planets. However, their destruction streak came to an abrupt halt when the team tried to destroy a planet. To their shock, the attempt failed. The bombs they placed failed to explode, as Cookie Monster had tried to save money by purchasing cheap detonators... A nearly unforgivable lapse in judgment. The outcome of their failure sent a rippling shockwave to the heart of the group. Lord Elmo not only killed the suppliers, he also killed their families and everyone they ever talked to. Unable to find jobs, Sesame Street never imagined they'd be hired again. After several offers including one to be a destruction team for MythBusters, the group finally accepted one. Sith Mega-Super-Overlord Darth Darth Binks was searching for his personal planet destruction team when he came across Darth Elmo's group, quickly impressed by the work they had done. Binks hired them on the spot as the group's destruction streak suddenly came back to life. It was at this time that Darth Elmo enlisted Kermit, a former Jedi, into the group. However, the frog barely escaped the wrath of Elmo as he was kicked out only two days later after he failed to destroy a single planet. While on a special mission from the Wookiee Elders of Kashyyyk to exterminate a dangerous threat, Darth Elmo encountered said threat; a young Madclaw! named Animal Fett-Goldberg. Fascinated by his Force potential, Lord Elmo agreed to train the boy secretly and let him in among the ranks of Sesame Street. During this time, the newly named Darth Animal proved to be a powerful ally as Lord Elmo found his apprentice accomplishing things Sesame Street could never accomplish before. Sesame Street became even more powerful as they destroyed the world of Yoyo by destroying its moon. Then, not long after, the unimaginable happened as Sesame Street's leader was abducted and tortured by the evil Darth Bob, who actually turned out to be the long-lost brother of Elmo. However, Darth Elmo survived the attack thanks to his secret apprentice and things were back on track again. Sesame Street went downhill yet again as Elmo's apprentice, Darth Animal, was killed by Kermit in a mission to assassinate the frog. While training his next apprentice, Dearth Nadir, Lord Elmo committed the ultimate act of treachery and killed himself in an attempt to dominate his own empire. Saddened by the news, the members of Sesame Street never recovered from Elmo's death and eventually died out.
- The show was well-known for having its' own "commercial segments," rather than a traditional commercial break. During those breaks, Superman and Batman (with Robin) appeared in their own Filmation cartoons, featuring their voices from The Batman/Superman Hour. The segments showed the superheroes in situations where they provide educational information to the viewer. The Superman video taught children about the letter S. And the Batman videos taught children about walking across the street using a crosswalk, which Joker was seen not doing, and the other video taught children the concept of "up, through and around."
- Sesame Street is published by Ape Entertainment. Price per issue is $3.99.
