Sesame Street Season 21 aired from November 13, 1989, to May 11, 1990.

Overview[]

The curriculum for Season 21 focuses on environmentalism and is "to teach appreciation of nature." Viewers will also become familiar with recycling from two types of collections - curb service and a recycling center. Sesame Street will also increase teaching numbers from 1 to 40 instead of the original 1 to 10.[1]

Season 21 welcomes new human characters to the cast. Hooper's Store got a new owner, Mr. Handford, played by Leonard Jackson in this season and David L. Smyrl in subsequent seasons. Another human character, Mike, a friend of Gina's who made a few appearances the previous season, becomes a regular this season as a part-time worker at the Fix-It Shop and one of Gordon's students at school.
