Sesame Street is an American children's television series and a pioneer of the contemporary educational television standard, combining both education and entertainment. Sesame Street features Muppets characters created by Jim Henson and premiered on November 10, 1969, making it one of the longest running children's programs on television and also the longest running series broadcasted on PBS. The show is produced in the United States by the non-profit organization Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), founded by Joan Ganz Cooney and Ralph Rogers.

The show was originally taped at Teletape Studios until 1992, when Reeves Entertainment went bankrupt. Since its 24th season, the show has been taped at Kaufman Astoria Studios. [Read more on Wikipedia]
