Sesame Street Season 33 premiered on February 4, 2002.

Overview

The curriculum for Season 33 is focusing on stories about fear, loss, bullies and inclusion through four episodes (Episode 3981, Episode 4021, Episode 4026, Episode 4029) written in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.[1]

Major changes to the set include the Fix-It Shop becoming the Mail-It Shop, 123 Sesame Street's doors being red instead of green, the arbor having a new staircase in a red color and the exterior of Hooper's Store was re-done with a different color.

Format

This season introduces a new format where the day's main story is told in one continuous segment and transitions between segments are smoother.[1] The entire format also changes to a more structured, predictable format, introducing new regular segments such as "The Letter of the Day," "The Number of the Day," "The Spanish Word of the Day" and "Journey to Ernie," plus the return of "Elmo's World," "Monster Clubhouse" and "Hero Guy." ("Elmo's World" had been in every episode since 1998; "Monster Clubhouse" and "Hero Guy" were introduced in Season 32 and alternated with each episode.) This would continue up to Season 39 in 2008.

New Elmo's World episodes for it's fourth season are about Fish, Sky, Sleep, Weather and Getting Dressed.

Episodes

Episodes 3981 - 4030 (50 episodes)

Notes

  • Starting with this season, the opening sequence changes to Big Bird and some kids playing in the park, while blocks featuring clips from the main segments of the season appear as a way to introduce the show's new format. This intro was used until Season 37. The theme song is another re-recording of the original opening theme, which is cut short in reruns.
  • This is the last season for the closing credits to be seen only on Fridays, outside of the season premiere. Likewise, after this season, Big Bird no longer said "Toodle-oo!" after the closings.
  • Starting with this season, Jim Henson is no longer credited as a performer.
  • This is Imani Patterson's last season as Miles. The following season Olamide Faison takes over the role.
  • This is the last season to feature Linda as a cast member.
  • Zoe begins wearing her tutu in all of her appearances until Season 48
  • This is the only season to be produced with 50 episodes. Although Season 32 only made 50 original episodes with 15 being repeats from Season 30.
  • For the first time since 1995, The U.S. Department of Education resumed funding Sesame Street, which would continue in succeeding seasons until season 37.
