The season 44 cast and crew

Sesame Street's 44th season began airing on September 16, 2013. The season began production on September 20, 2012, and wrapped on December 14.[1] The second half of season 43 was also filmed during this production period.[1] Additional inserts were filmed in late April and May.[1] The "What's the Word on the Street?" and other tune-in segments began filming in May 2013.[2] The celebrity Word of the Day segments began filming in a Los Angeles studio in early June 2013.

Season overview

The season's main focus and curriculum is self-regulation and executive functioning skills. New stories, tune-ins and other inserts promote such themes as strategizing, memorization, patience and regulating and managing emotions.

The season also features a smaller, secondary curriculum on Hispanic heritage. As a result of the growing Hispanic population in the United States, a new human character was created to reflect the change. At an open audition held in August 2012, Ismael Cruz Córdova earned the coveted role of Armando, a Puerto Rican writer who makes his debut this season. His appearances include a Spanish remake of the song, "I Love My Hair."

The season introduces a new parody segment, "Cookie's Crumby Pictures," placing the fuzzy and blue monster in various film spoofs that teach him to self-regulate. "Elmo the Musical" also returns this season, featuring three new episodes.

As with previous seasons, skits includes parodies of hit shows, this time Homeland (portrayed as "Homelamb") and Sons of Anarchy (as "Sons of Poetry").

The season also includes posthumous performances by Jerry Nelson (including in the season premiere) and one episode pays special tribute to him. Matt Vogel performs the Count in newly created material for the season otherwise. The season also features material recorded by Kevin Clash before resigning from the show. Ryan Dillon performs Elmo in scenes recorded following his departure.

Episodes 4401-4427

Notes

  • Beginning this season, the episodes are numbered in a seasonal order rather than the chronological, numerical fashion employed since the show began. For example, this season's Episode 4401 is the 4328th episode since Sesame Street began, following last season's Episode 4327.
  • Despite not being credited among the cast starting this season, Desiree Casado appears as Gabi in a repeat episode.
