Sesame Street marks 45th birthday

In this Dec. 9, 2013 image released by the Sesame Workshop, singer Janelle Monae, left, and character Big Bird appear in a scene from the "Power of Yet" sketch at Kaufman-Astoria Studios in the Astoria neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York. Sesame Street continues to attract millions of viewers after 45 years on the air, appealing to both preschoolers and their parents with content that is educational and entertaining. The show has kept up with the times by making its segments faster-paced, by fine-tuning messages, and by keeping a steady flow of appearances by contemporary celebrity guests. The show first aired Nov. 10, 1969. (AP Photo/Sesame Workshop, Richard Termine) NEW YORK (AP) — You don't get to be the longest-running children's show in TV history by doing the same thing over and over. So even though parents who grew up watching "Sesame Street" can still see old favorites like Big Bird, things on the street have changed since the show debuted 45 years ago on Nov. 10, 1969.
