Sesame Street is an American educational television program for young children, which led the way for many of the current standard of combining education and entertainment in the shows. It is known for the inclusion of Muppet characters created by the legendary puppeteer Jim Henson. Over 4000 episodes of the show have been produced in 35 seasons, making it one of the longest-running shows in television history. Because of its worldwide reach, with the show shown in over 120 countries, many with adapted regional versions, Sesame Street is considered the world's largest educator.

Sesame Street is produced by Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop or CTW.
