'Sesame Street' (Check local listings for time, PBS) 39th season premiere
We know, we know, you were promised there'd be no math in this TV Pick, but it turns out that the theme of this new season on the 'Street' will revolve around helping the kiddies hone their addin' and subtractin' skills.
No groaning moms and dads ... yes, there'll be math for the ankle biters, but it'll be delivered by a slew of fun celeb guests, including Jack Black and Feist in today's season opener, as well as Neil Patrick Harris (Aug. 12), Heidi Klum (Aug. 14) and Jenny McCarthy (Aug. 15) the rest of the week.
Elmo, Big Bird, Oscar and the gang will also unspool some clever pop culture spoofs ('Pre-School Musical' and 'Are You Smarter Than an Egg Layer?' promise to make us chuckle), and welcome both a new Web site filled with free games and videos and a new 'Street' resident: Leela, an Indian-American woman who'll share her culture with the rest of the 'Street' while working at the laundromat next door to Mr. Hooper's store.
Yeah, so maybe a little math isn't so bad after all.
