YES!!! Starting today, Cartoonito will be airing Sesame Street in the UK. This is a big deal to me! I grew up on this show & the characters will always be very dear to me. And I met Gordon when I was 4 or 5 (I have a picture of the two of us – it’s awesome).
It’s always felt weird no longer having some American staples like Sesame Street & Saturday Night Live on TV. Even though I didn’t always watch them, I’ve missed them no longer being around since moving to the UK. Oh, and The Young And The Restless. But don’t tell anyone that I used to watch a soap… (What’s up with Victor & the Abbott gang these days?)
Read more about Sesame Street’s comeback here: Sky News. Unfortunately, it sounds like Sesame Street has undergone a lot of changes. I know they got rid of some of the longstanding human cast members a few years ago, which is a horrible shame. I’ll still be checking it out, though. It’ll never be as good as it was in the classic, pre-Elmo days but it’s a show I’ll always support.
Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani will be guest starring in today’s comeback episode so that’s a promising start, at least. Too bad my daughter is now too old for the show but, with such big name guest stars (she’s a fan of both Williams & Stefani), I have a feeling she might not leave the room when I start watching it. 😉
Let’s end this with the classic Alligator King clip…
Ahhhhh! I grew up on Sesame Street, this is amazing news. I have photos somewhere of me on my 1st Birthday with a Big Bird cake, haha!

Hehe! I have photos of me & a Cookie Monster cake. Think I was maybe 4. 😁 I seriously can’t WAIT to watch this! Lol : )
Does this mean Elizabeth The grouch, The Bangers Monster and Big Cackling Goose?.
Haha! God I hope not. They better not mess with my beloved classic American Sesame Street. ; )
I used to obsessively watch Sesame Street on every school holiday and Saturday mornings. I used to love it! Glad you can re-enjoy it and even watch it with you daughter (who has the coolest taste in music if she likes Pharrell and Gwen).
I grew up watching it as much as possible. Am really happy it’s on here now! : ) Yeah… I gotta say my kid does have pretty cool taste in music. Her favorite is David Bowie (but it helps that she hears her mommy play him so much. Lol). ; )
Nice! I love David Bowie.
Such a great show, it’s so great that it’s back!
Agreed! It’s a show I think all kids should watch. And adults… 😉
