Sesame Street for young and old...

As Sesame Street begins its 39th broadcast season today, they have launched a new Web site that might be an even bigger story for the show's fans, both young and old. Available on-demand and 24-hours-per day, the new site is an interactive wonder.

On the colorful, video-intensive Web site, young viewers will love the fun animated games that they can play with their favorite Sesame Street characters. In fact, they probably won't even realize that they are learning important reading and math skills as they help Elmo count eggs in a barnyard or check a mailbox with Big Bird.

They can also watch new clips of their Sesame Street friends singing with Chris Brown or learning about friendship with Zoe, Abby Cadabby and Rosita.

And for older fans, the Web site offers a comprehensive archive of Sesame Street songs, clips and lessons from all of its 39 years. Taking a trip down memory lane, visitors will easily recall the series of animated pinball countdowns, the Ladybugs' Picnic, the classic moment of Grover learning to count with a young boy named John John and many more Sesame Street memories.

All of the videos can be added to customized play lists that can be revisited as often as a visitor wants -- essentially allowing each user the chance to string together their own episode of Sesame Street!

Parents will find their own section of hints, tips and resources for using the site and the show's broadcast for positive child development.
