sorry for not posting as much history lately. i’ve been on vacation! regardless, good night :) 🧡

what the hell did he put in the GrouchAde

OTD in Sesame Street history, 12/16/87, A Muppet Family Christmas premiered for the first time! This special featured the Muppets, the Sesame Street cast, the Fraggles, and Henson himself.

they’re building each other …

On this day in Sesame Street history, Sesame Street was on the wrong end of another soulless decision by Zaslav and WB. Hopefully Sesame Workshop can find a new studio that cares more about the IP and the children it was created to educate and inspire.

Kermit and his human friends Fanny and Shola in 1972, and reunited in 1989. I wonder what it’s like to have the quasi-immortality of a Muppet.

Good night, friends! Tomorrow is a new week. 💙

We lost Carroll Spinney, the original performer of Big Bird 5 years ago today. He developed him from a goofy giant to a sensitive six-year-old. We miss you, Carroll 💛

Are you looking for Muppets content after only following, say, one account for it? Look no further! I recommend: go.bsky.app/UAe3aVY

Big Bird studies

not surprising haha! WHO IS THE BIRD WHO IS HAPPY AND PROUD?? 🤨🤨 meeee #SpotifyWrapped

Though it’s not much, this representation is really sweet to me, and probably meant a lot to some kids watching this for the first time. I 💙 Mr. Hooper, and the Sesame Street humans.

OTD in Sesame Street history, 12/3/78, “Christmas Eve on Sesame Street” airs for the first time on PBS at 7 pm.

This seems like a great time to remind people that ToughPigs is a Muppet Fan website that does some real good in the community. Just for one example: toughpigs.com/pride-month-...

I, and Sesame History as a page, will always stand against harassment and bullying. I’m seeing a lack of accountability which is incredibly disheartening. This community, especially, is supposed to be a place where you should feel safe. I’m here if you need support. -Alethea

Plugging this again as the weather gets colder - I made a comforting soft 70s-style playlist inspired by Sesame Street montages and calm moments. I like to listen to it while crafting or on a snowy day like today :) open.spotify.com/playlist/6Yx...

Child’s fan letter to Snuffleupagus from the Children’s Television Workshop archives.

Most people feel this way about Grover!

A very VERY happy birthday to Joan Ganz Cooney, one of the creators of Sesame Street. She’s 95 today! Without her, we wouldn’t have the Street. 💚💛

Happy Thanksgiving from Sesame History 💚📺🍁

obsessed with the woman holding an umbrella over big bird having the time of her life

it’s time to tryyyyyyy defyyyyyying graaaaaavity

POV: It’s 2002. You’re home from school for Thanksgiving break and wake up early to watch TV anyway.

OTD in Sesame Street History, my mom was born! Just like me, she was a little kid who loved Sesame Street. Happy birthday Mom ❤️

“i’m coming over, you better not be the ernie purse of despair when i get there” me:

telly is so nice.

OTD in Sesame Street history, 11/21/94, Season 26 debuts, beginning a new literacy campaign called “Let’s Read and Write!”

Cynthia Erivo with Oscar the Grouch for Sesame Street.

thinking about if the seinfeld universe coexisted with the sesame street universe in the 90s. jerry dates a grouch. george is paranoid about the meaning of his relationship with jerry after meeting bert and ernie. kramer keeps running into the same big yellow bird in the subway.

he’s on the hunt for teeth and by god he won’t stop till he gets yours

obsessed with the kermit i saw at museum of play

oh!

I’m gonna cry, is this how Disney adults feel?

I’ve been staring at people like this a lot lately

I like that Sesame Street posted this! Zoe is canonically a 3 year old girl and gets so much hate for having an imaginary friend. When God sings with all Her creations, will Zoe not be part of the choir? Can you handle complex female characters or will you crumble at Her feet and weep?

Keep hanging in there!

Goodnight, kids! Take care of eachother!

I have aged 30 years in the last week

“Here, Maria,” said Big Bird. “You may have one of my flowers. It will help you feel happy again.”
