Sesame Street's 45th season debuted on September 15, 2014.
Season overview
The season boasts a "new, brighter look,"[1] adding more color to the set and adding a bicycle repair shop to the street. The season continues the curriculum placed during the previous season of enhancing the executive functioning and self-regulation skills of children.
Debuting alongside the new season, on September 1st, is a half-hour version of the show airing during PBS Kids' afternoon and weekend morning schedules. These new versions remove the longer "Elmo the Musical" and "Abby's Flying Fairy School" segments.
New installments of recurring segments "Elmo the Musical," "Cookie's Crumby Pictures" and "Super Grover 2.0" will debut this season. Every episode will also feature new dance breaks introducing the letter of the day (featuring Elmo), and the number of the day (hosted by The Count).[2]
Roscoe Orman posted a photo on Facebook from the first day of taping, revealing Roosevelt Franklin will make an appearance during the season.
Australian production company Carbon Media (who produced the "Five Kangaroos" segment from the previous season) will be producing three new live-action shorts for the season.[3]
Production
The season began production on September 30, 2013[4] and wrapped on December 13.[5] The new "Cookie's Crumby Pictures" segments shot a week prior to the street stories' taping session.[4] Production on the new "Word of the Day" segments occurred during the week of April 7 in Los Angeles.[6] The "What's the Word on the Street?" and other tune-in segments began taping in May 2014, including trips to the NYC Recycling Center and the Staten Island Zoo (with Big Bird)[7] Additional inserts and material were also filmed in May.[4]
Parodies and Spoofs
The season's parody segments will include "House of Bricks" (House of Cards) and "Game of Chairs" (Game of Thrones), as well as musical spoofs - "What Makes "U" Useful" (spoofing One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful") and "Thrift Shop" (spoofing Macklemore's song of the same name).
