    Target Age Gap and Age of Children on the Show

    Hi, I have a curious question about both the target age gap (the people watching the show at home) and the age gap of the children (aside from the regularly-appearing kid stars, such as Miles) who participate on each and every episode of Sesame Street through the years: is it true that much of...
