123 Sesame Street is known by children spanning 140 countries and is one of the most famous fictional addresses in the world.  The large brownstone has an inviting front stoop  is next to Big Bird’s nest and Oscar’s trash can, bordered by the courtyard with Hooper’s Store and Charles’s Auto Repair.  This infamous street debuted on television on November 10th, 1969 and will celebrate it’s 40th anniversary with episode #4187 on Tuesday, November 10th 2009.  The show has won 122 Emmy’s and has over 5 million viewers each week in the United States alone.  Sesame Street’s creator Joan Ganz Cooney determined that “every piece of education would be entertaining, and every piece of entertainment would be educational,”  in the show’s inception (Newsday.com).  This trend continues today.

 The anniversary episode will feature the letter H and the letter 40 and the muppets will be visited by First Lady Michelle Obama.  Obama will be planting a vegetable garden with Elmo and a few children as part of a two-year science initiative to increase positive attitudes toward the environment and nature.  Sesame Street may have changed some over the years adding a CGI character segment in the new fairy Abby Cadabby, but the educational ideals remain consistent.  Big Bird will be visited by a rapping real-estate agent in the opener of the 41st season who tries to convince him to migrate.  Big Bird who is brought to life by Carol Spinney (who was handpicked by muppet creator Jim Henson) decides that Sesame Street is his habitat after all.
