This Week in Sesame Street at Sesame Workshop's site

[minor muppetz]

The official Sesame Workshop site has a new weekly feature called "This Week in Sesame Street", highlighting things that happened each week in history (sort of like a Sesame Workshop version of Jim Henson's red book, only once a week).

The first entry is on Big Bird's first appearance on Hollywood Squares: http://www.sesameworkshop.org/our-b...t-big-birds-first-visit-to-hollywood-squares/

Now this is good idea, especially for the history buffs and fans of the show.

That's a great idea! And a funny clip this week.

Here's the latest entry, which concerns Gordon http://www.sesameworkshop.org/our-b...treet-gordon-and-african-american-fatherhood/

It even includes a fact that I had never known before: Gordon was named after somebody named Gordon Parks.

I'm guessing he's the "groundbreaking American photographer, musician, poet, novelist, journalist, activist and film director"

It's been two weeks since we've gotten a new entry here... I wonder what's going on.
