Sesame Street is an American children's television series created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett. The program is known for its educational content, and creativity communicated through the use of Jim Henson's Muppets, animation, short films, humor, and cultural references. The series premiered on National Educational Television (NET) stations on November 10, 1969 to positive reviews, some controversy, and high ratings.
The show has undergone significant changes throughout its history. The format of Sesame Street consists of a combination of commercial television production elements and educational techniques which have evolved to reflect the changes in American culture and the audience's viewing habits. With the creation of Sesame Street, producers and writers of a children's television show used, for the first time, educational goals and a curriculum to shape its content. It was also the first time a show's educational effects on young children were studied, and the first time both summative and formative research were reflected in a television show's content.
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
We're all for worm
And worm for all
Together we will
Squirm or fall
We squiggle together
And wriggle together
Worms up in the sky!
Co-operating
Night and day
To make our spaceship fly!
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
We crawl together
We're all together
Flying night to noon
Co-operating worm by worm
So we land on the moon
We're all for worm
And worm for all
Together we will squirm
Fall!
