As some of you know, I have been developing a concept for a children's TV show. The inspiration for Metro-Burbs stems from many places, including the work of Jim Henson. I see a hole in today’s programming for kids. We haven’t figured out a way to evolve from the Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street...
WHAT IF….You get a call from a Beatrice one day on your cell phone. You find it hard to hear what she is saying, not because of the connection but because you are walking the streets of NYC, and the customary sounds of car horns blowing, people yelling and dogs barking are drowning out this...
I thought the Sesame Street: Old School DVDs that are currently out was worth a post here. The below disclaimer is heard at the beginning of the dvd:
"Welcome to Sesame Street Nostalgia. I am Bob, your host, and I want you to know that these early Sesame Street episodes are intended for...
