Sherman called the show's new look "startlingly different". [182] Steve Youngwood, SW's Chief Operating Officer, called the move "one of the toughest decisions we ever made". [173] By 2009, the show had won 118 Emmys throughout its history, and was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Emmy for its 40 years on the air. Cooney's boss, Lewis Freedman, whom Cooney called "the grandfather of Sesame Street",[22] also attended the party, as did their colleague Anne Bower. The show was a financial success, but he began to have doubts about going into a career performing with puppets once he graduated. [citation needed], When Henson began work on Sam and Friends, he asked fellow University of Maryland senior Jane Nebel to assist him. Around this time, he wrote the first drafts of a live-action movie script with Jerry Juhl which became Tale of Sand. They found that although Sesame Street was produced for three- to five-year-olds, children began watching it at a younger age. [9][note 1] Many children's television programs were produced by local stations, with little regard for educational goals, or cultural diversity. [42], The producers spent eighteen months preparing the new show, something unprecedented in children's television. Kermit was very similar to his creator… He produced The Cube in 1969. The shows came to be called "co-productions", and they contained original sets, characters, and curriculum goals. [8] Jane said that Jim was so involved with his work that he had very little time to spend with her or their children. Bert and Ernie were played by Frank Oz and Jim Henson, who in real life were, like the puppets they played, colleagues and friends. "[6] Cooney wanted to create a program that would spread values favoring education to nonviewers—including their parents and older siblings, who tended to control the television set. [145], For the 1988 and 1989 seasons, the topics of love, marriage, and childbirth were addressed when the show presented a storyline in which the characters Luis and Maria fall in love, marry, and have a child named Gabi. Henson began developing puppets in high school. [133][134], In 1978, Stone and Singer produced and wrote the show's first special, the "triumphant" Christmas Eve on Sesame Street,[135] which included an O Henry-inspired storyline in which Bert and Ernie gave up their prized possessions—Ernie his rubber ducky and Bert his paper clip collection—to purchase each other Christmas gifts.

[85][86], The Street scenes, as Palmer described them, were "the glue" that "pulled the show together",[87] so producers knew they needed to make significant changes.
