Sesame Street is an educational television program designed for children of all ages, and is recognized as a pioneer of the present-day standard of combining education and entertainment in children's television shows.
Sesame Street is produced in the United States by Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW).
Sesame Street was no longer one of the best shows on TV for kids, and parents began to embrace other programs, such as Blue's Clues.
