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.

Notes
- This was Jim Henson's final season. His final day in the studio was November 21, 1989, where he recorded three musical segments - "Don't Throw That Trash on the Ground," "I Wonder 'Bout the World Above Up There" and "The Bird Family."[2] The 21st season finale aired on Friday, May 11, 1990, five days before Henson passed away. Jim Henson, however, continued to be credited on the show until 2001, when Season 32 ended.
- This season features the earliest appearance of Savion (played by Savion Glover), who would become a regular cast member the following season and through Season 26.
- This is also the first season since Season 2 where Fran Brill was credited in the Muppet Performers credits.
