Sesame Street's 42nd season began production on February 8, 2011[1] and wrapped May 20, 2011, with other inserts taped following that date. Half the street stories for season 43 were shot during this time as well.[2] Episodes premiered on September 26, 2011.

Season overview

The season continues to focus on the STEM curriculum; encouraging children to think critically about science, technology, engineering and math. The curriculum helps children develop a better understanding of how things work, and builds stronger cognitive reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving skills.

One episode this season, written by Annie Evans, is titled "BubbleFest" and stars Telly, Abby and Elmo.[3] Ernie and Bert are featured in an episode in which they search for a place to spend the night when their apartment becomes flooded. At one point, they stay at Gordon and Susan's and some sheep dance into the scene.[4] Another episode celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month features Gina and Rosita teaching Latino culture to Marco.[5](YouTube)

A new "tune-in" segment, "Murray's Science Experiments", has Murray Monster ask a scientific question and sets up an experiment to find the best answer to his question. With help from Ovejita and some kids, Murray observes, investigates and discovers the answers to his questions. New segments of Super Grover 2.0[6][7] and Abby's Flying Fairy School return from last season. What's the Word on the Street and The Word of the Day also return with 26 new words.

The season featured many new guest appearances. Grover appeared in a segment with Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony of the NY Knicks.[8] Other celebrities appearing in the 42nd season include: Craig Ferguson[9], Jesse Tyler Ferguson[10], Sofia Vergara[11], and Joel McHale[12]. In season 42, there are guests from The Daily Show (YouTube). Broadway-star Sutton Foster appears in a new song, "Lever Lover."OK Go filmed an insert, performing a song about mixing colors.[13]

Parodies

Among the spoofs this season are "Heaviest Catch" (parody of the TV show Deadliest Catch), "Ate My Red Two" (spoof of Elvis Costello's "(The Angles Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes"), "Measure, Yeah, Measure" (parody of Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never"), "G" (parody of the TV show Glee) and "SpiderMonster the Musical" (spoof of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark).
