Sesame Street is a landmark American educational television series created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett. It premiered in 1969 with the revolutionary goal of using television to help prepare preschool-aged children, particularly those from low-income families, for school. Produced by the nonprofit organization Sesame Workshop, the show is set on a fictional, diverse urban street and combines live-action, animation, and puppetry, featuring Jim Henson's iconic Muppets like Big Bird, Elmo, and Cookie Monster. The program was the first of its kind to be built on a detailed, research-based curriculum, with educators and psychologists integral to its development from the start.
