Summer on Sesame Street

Sesame Street & the Muppets have defied so many trends it is boggling. As the show nears 50 years, they somehow always manage to stay on the edge of hip and attract new generations always. I for one, am excited that they will be returning to regular weekly television. Nothing except the Simpsons has managed to make such a cultural dent in the same way. They attract cameo stars of A list prestige and take on the heavy topics as well as the rudimentary ABCs.

Sometimes their projects take on a life of their own as this new video that deals with eating healthy and the food groups. It takes on the Box Office behemoth of the Avengers which will be the rage at theaters for the entire summer. It parodies with its own posse called the Aveggies in tandem with Cookie Monster who is nearly as old as I am. Guilty pleasure in so many ways.
