Happy Birthday, Sesame Street!
Sesame Street premiered on November 10, 1969 and is the longest running children's program on television in the US. In honor of the show's 40th anniversary, Tuesday's episode (the season premier) will feature a visit to the White House vegetable garden with First Lady Michelle Obama.

And just for fun, here are Bert and Ernie performing a gangster rap song (obviously re-edited by somebody on YouTube...):
