Sesame Street Saturdays: When Families Grieve

Remember to check back on The Muppet Mindset tomorrow for yet another interview with a Muppeteer--this one even bigger than the last! And since I'm such a good sport, I'll provide you all with another hint. He now performs at least one of the characters in the picture below:



So, who is it? Do you have ANY idea?If not, then my diabolical plan is working! ...But anyway, just check back tomorrow to find out the identity of the killer! Er... the Muppeteer. Not the killer. (If the mystery Muppeteer IS the killer, I want the reward!)


It's Saturday again, so it's time again for Sesame Street Saturdays! Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of Sesame news circulating around lately so we just have a brief news item to discuss.

Sesame Workshop is producing another entry in their "Talk, Listen, Connect" series of specials starring the Sesame Street Muppets and celebrity guests as they help children and families learn how to cope with things like a loss of a job, a family member serving their country in the war, and family members injured in war. The most recent entry into the series is, "When Families Grieve."

The special, airing April 14th at 8:00PM ET/PT on PBS, stars news anchor Katie Couric and the Muppets as they showcase how families cope with the loss of loved ones. The special will also feature real families as they show the rest of the world their coping mechanisms.

As always, Sesame Workshop remains dedicated to helping families and children in need. Don't miss this sure-to-be excellent special airing on PBS in April!
