Sesame Street's 42nd season began production on February 8, 2011,[1] and wrapped May 20, 2011, with other inserts taped following that date. Half the street stories and select inserts for season 43 were shot during this time as well.[2] Episodes premiered on September 26, 2011.

Overview[]

The season continues to focus on the STEM curriculum; encouraging children to think critically about science, technology, engineering, and math. The curriculum helps children develop a better understanding of how things work and builds stronger cognitive reasoning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.

One episode this season, written by Annie Evans, is titled "The Bubble Fest" and stars Telly, Abby, and Elmo.[3] Ernie and Bert are featured in an episode in which they search for a place to spend the night when their apartment becomes flooded. When they stay at Gordon and Susan's, some sheep dance into the scene.[4] Another episode celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month features Gina and Rosita teaching Latino culture to Marco.[5](YouTube)

A new "tune-in" segment, "Murray's Science Experiments," has Murray Monster ask a scientific question and sets up an experiment to find the best answer to his question. With help from Ovejita and some kids, Murray observes, investigates and discovers the answers to his questions. New segments of Super Grover 2.0[6][7] and Abby's Flying Fairy School return from last season. What's the Word on the Street? and The Word of the Day also return with 26 new words.

The season features many new guest appearances. Grover appears in a segment with Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks.[8] Other celebrities appearing include Craig Ferguson,[9] Jesse Tyler Ferguson,[10] Sofia Vergara,[11] Joel McHale,[12] and guests from The Daily Show (YouTube). Broadway star Sutton Foster appears in a new song, "Lever Lover." In an insert, OK Go performs a song about mixing colors.[13]

Parodies[]

Among the spoofs this season are "Heaviest Catch" (parody of the TV show Deadliest Catch), "Ate My Red Two" (spoof of Elvis Costello's "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes"), "Measure, Yeah, Measure" (parody of Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never"), "G" (parody of the TV show Glee), and "SpiderMonster the Musical" (spoof of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark).
