Sisimpur is an educational children's television program in Bangladesh that is co-produced by Sesame Workshop, the makers of Sesame Street. Sisimpur's goals include the support of Early Childhood Development (ECD) objectives in Bangladesh, such as the teaching of pre-academic skills to young children. In this paper we draw on qualitative research to explore how Sisimpur and its benefits are viewed by the family members and teachers of children in rural Bangladesh. Our results suggest that Sisimpur is valued by diese caregivers as a source of ideas and information about how best to raise children. We argue that Sisimpur's favorable reception is related to the success with which it has portrayed children on the show as both connected to Bangali traditions and able to take advantage of the...
If this paraphrase strikes a chord, then you're among the three generations of folks who've watched Sesame Street, the longest running children's show on television, more times than you can count. By today's standards, its debut was a modest one. Some educators doubted the show's credibility factor, betting that Sesame Street would fall flat on its TV face. [Michael Davis]'s biggest gift with this history book is his ability to introduce readers to the eclectic mix of writers, producers, songsters and puppeteers that have taken Sesame Street from eccentric idea to small screen success. Sure, [Jim Henson] was the heart and soul of Sesame Street.
The latest Sesame Street Live tour production, entitled When Elmo Grows Up, also features the usual gang of furry and feathered friends, including Elmo, Bert & Ernie, Grover, Big Bird and Cookie Monster.
[John Rich] and I were sitting, trying to think of something unique. So he showed me a shirt that another fighter had and it had the Sesame Street symbol and it said Submission Street. So we wanted to create a brand that people could identify with right off the bat. We didn't want to reinvent the wheel. Everyone knows what the 'Sesame Street' logo is. So basically the American Fighter logo came from the 'American Pie' movies. "I walk around with an American Fighter shirt on, no one's going to care," said American Fighter's [Jeff Adler]. "(Actor) Kevin James, Rich [Franklin] walks around with an American Fighter shirt, people are going to take notice and that's why you do that." "It's a shirt that you can wear out at night and it's not saying 'Hey look at me I'm a tough guy, I fight,' ...

Back in the days when local stations went to the bother of producing their own kids' shows, J.P. captivated kids from Washington's Puget Sound to B.C.'s Lower Mainland. At one point, CBC even offered [Chris Wedes] a job, which he declined. Let's just say you definitely got the feeling that there wasn't an educational advisor sitting in the wings. It was nothing so organized as Sesame Street. This was a clown and his buddies playing pranks on each other for our benefit. And unlike Captain Kangaroo or the gentle Mr. Dressup, this guy didn't dress neatly or make crafts. Instead, water was thrown, zany music was cranked, and Tiny Tim and Steve Allen made appearances. I so enjoyed going to work," he recalls. "It was a program that kids and adults could enjoy, I think. J.P. wasn't always a ...

I think what you're getting at is that I'm playing 'older' now," said the 39-year-old Baltimore native. "Which is fine -- I mean, in reality, I have three kids (a two-year-old son and six-month-old twin boys). And the roles get better when you add that layer of complexity. "Sesame Street has always been written on two levels," said Dr. Rosemarie Truglio, the series' vice president of education and research. "The children don't understand these parodies, but the adults do. I don't want to give too much away, but think of the title, Mad Men, and think about the emotional curriculum that might be attached to that. Sesame's executive VP of content, Miranda Barry, was equally hesitant to spoil the parody's surprise party, but offered this bit of context: "You may have seen the parody we di...
