Sesame Street Season 38 premiered on August 13, 2007.

Overview

One of the main learning objectives promoted during the season is literacy and vocabulary enhancement. Each episode in the season begins with a "What's the Word on the Street?" segment that introduces and defines the Word of the Day. These words are then used and reinforced later on in the episode's "street scenes."

Two previously introduced characters will be featured more heavily this season. Abby Cadabby appeared in every episode (usually to announce the sponsors at the end of an episode) and a previously introduced orange monster played by Joey Mazzarino received a name: Murray. In addition to various talk spots, Murray is the host of the "What's the Word on the Street?" segments at the top of the show.

Season 38 also welcomed a new human character to the cast, Chris Robinson, the nephew of Gordon and Susan, who is played by Chris Knowings. Chris moved to Sesame Street in episode 4136 and eventually got a job working for Alan at Hooper's Store.

New Elmo's World segments for the season include tackling the subjects of Mouths, Noses, Violins, Helping and the Beach.

Parodies

Parody sketches and segments include "A's Anatomy" (a parody of Grey's Anatomy), "Meal or No Meal" (a parody of Deal or No Deal), "American I" (a parody of American Idol), "RSI: Rhyme Scene Investigation" (a parody of CSI), "Dancing With Triangles" (a parody of Dancing with the Stars), "Nascount" (a parody of NASCAR), "A Streetcar Named Monster" (a parody of A Streetcar Named Desire) and "The Amazing Alphabet Race" (a parody of The Amazing Race). Several new Dinner Theater sketches include "South Potato" (a parody of South Pacific), "Annie Get Your Gumbo" (a parody of Annie Get Your Gun), and "Pear" (a parody Hair).

Episodes

Episodes 4135 - 4160 (26 episodes)

Notes

  • Season 38 introduces a new opening theme sequence for the first time since Season 33, and a new closing sequence for the first time since Season 24.
  • Episode 4137 and Episode 4145 broke away from the structured format that consolidated all of the "street scenes" into one segment at the top of the show which was first introduced in Season 33. As a result, Elmo's World wasn't featured in those two episodes.
  • Episode 4135 was sponsored by two letters, instead of one. Two-letter episodes used to be regularly done until 1997.
  • Two segments were taped for the season, but have yet to air on the show. They include a sketch where The Count counts feelings.[1] and another sketch where Alec Baldwin, a "closer", closes various things[2]
  • With the exceptions of the main street stories and "What's the Word on the Street?"/ "Word of the Day" segments, this season didn't have recurring segments that appear in every episode.
  • No new Global Grover segments were produced in this season.
