Sesame Street forward! :-))

Meet (autistic) Julia

I hope, it will come to the german Sesame Street, soon!

Sesame Street has always been about teaching young children important habits like kindness, compassion, and acceptance for people no matter who they are. I'm very happy to see them do something like this.

I'm still waiting for re-runs of the Uncle Dr. Bergan Evans Show.

Somewhere I still have the issue of "My Weekly Reader" that announced the original premiere of "Sesame Street." My pack rat habits started very early.

I am very glad for the introduction of this character.... i hope she is on frequently!

As an aside, the modern day episodes of sesame street feel only tangentally related to the sesame street of my youth.

After the sesame street workshop made a deal with HBO to survive (I am not blaming sesame street in this), they shortened the episodes (30 minutes instead of 60), lowered the targeted age (toddler instead of preschool), changed the focus (emotion regulation instead of reading and basic math), and designed it to be consumed by children who watch by themselves in short bursts (on tablets and such).

All and all it is a very different show. Pre-move to HBO it was a good 30 minutes of animation already, but it held my daughter''s (age 4) interest. Now it holds my son''s (almost 2) but my daughter wants nothing to do with it.

They also scrubbed the set, which always had sort of a realistic feel to me... now it's clean and sparkly.

They gentrified sesame street.
