Can You Tell Me How To Get...

How To Get To Sesame Street?

I grew up on this show. My daughters watch it now. I don't believe I'll ever stop watching it. If you want details on the 35th anniversary, click here.

'Sesame Street' Celebrating 35th Anniversary

LOS ANGELES -- If you were watching "Sesame Street" in the 1980s when Elmo first came on the scene, you know he talked like a baby.

He'd go "Elmo! Elmo!" Kevin Clash is the Elmo muppeteer. He said "early on his English was very, very primitive."

He said the "Sesame Street" people decided he shouldn't be like Cookie Monster. Instead he should speak in complete sentences.

Clash said they had gotten letters about Cookie Monster -- people upset that he wasn't speaking properly. But, Clash said, "Cookie became such an icon that everybody got cooled out about it."

All the characters from the show will be on a prime-time special Sunday night celebrating "Sesame Street's 35th Anniversary."
