Sesame Street Google Images Continue!

Seeing Sesame Street pictures during your most recent Google search and wondering why? In conjunction with the 40th anniversary celebration of the longtime running childrens TV show, Sesame Street, Google has been displaying creative art involving the popular Muppet characters. These Sesame Street Google images are clever and colorful in terms of presentation. Most recently, on November 9th, 2009, the "Count" is being displayed, with the "Google" letters all turned every which way to resemble numbers. Many fans know Count is famous for his Dracula-like persona while presenting counting, numbers and math skills to young viewers. Previous characters on the Google logo display at www.google.com have included Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Bert & Ernie. Clever renditions showed Cookie Monster gnawing through several cookie letters of the word "Google", or Oscar the Grouch popping up out of a metal trash can represented by the letter "O" in Google.

Clicking on the Sesame Street Google images will link the viewer to a google search for the term "sesame street", which currently features over 13,800,000 results! The popular educational kids television show from PBS has been airing for 40 years now. It helps instruct kids in all sorts of topics from counting, the alphabet, words, all the way to basic social skills like sharing or generousity. Big Bird has been one of the longtime characters on the show, while in more recent times it's been the newest star, Elmo, who has taken Sesame Street over in terms of popularity.

Seasame Street got its start way back on November 10, 1969, so Tuesday marks its official anniversary date. The voice of Big Bird, Carol Spinney, was just 35 years old when first recruited by the Muppets-creator, Mr. Jim Henson. Sesame Street has featured all sorts of celebrities over the years with one of the most recent, being the first lady, Michelle Obama. It kicked off episode 4,187 this current season, and presented a topic on the "number 40" appropriately enough. It's unknown how many of the show's characters will be featured in the Google Sesame Street images.

For 40 years, the Sesame Street show has spawned toys, helped kids develop their young minds, and provided quality educational entertainment. The Sesame Street Google images provide a creative and fun way to honor the television program that has continued to stay strong for four decades now. While the show may turn age 40, which some celebrate with "over the hill" birthday cards and jokes, the characters remain young on screen, and in the hearts of fans. Their educational messages, songs and entertaining presentation are timeless, and only age on paper.

Sesame Street hits its 40th Anniversary on November 10, 2009. Check local listings for its latest episode. You can see all of the Google Sesame Street images here at Huffington Post.
