from Boston Globe: On Tuesday, “Sesame Street,’’ the PBS kids’ show that spawned Elmo, Bert, and Ernie, and an entire Muppet menagerie, celebrates its 40th birthday. Born in the era of Woodstock and “Captain Kangaroo,’’ it is simply the most revered and influential children’s television show ever. Hundreds of academic papers have dissected its cultural and educational importance. Millions of parents, teachers, and preschoolers have embraced its educational and entertainment values. With its unique blend of literacy, diversity, and lunacy, “Sesame Street’’ is an irreplaceable original, a late-’60s artifact that has stayed forever young. When Google put Big Bird on its homepage this week, it was a heartfelt salute from New Media giant to Old.
