Bright and colorful, with Bird Bird and other animated Muppet characters taking turns cheerfully greeting visitors, www.sesamestreet.org is a beautifully realized extension of the celebrated PBS children's series into the Internet age. The website brings together a wide array of weekly updated, interactive content for preschoolers. The possibilities are enormous. With or without parental guidance, for this is a secure, safe site, visitors can select from nearly 500 Flash-based games that have been created to help toddlers and preschoolers learn their letters, numbers and more. Or they can watch Sesame Street videos, both classic and new. More than 3,000 are available, and some have been modified into games that enable children to interact directly with them. There's even a section for parents and caregivers with advice on everything from potty training to coping with trauma. For taking a fabled television concept to a new dimension, www.sesamestreet.org receives a Peabody Award.

Back in 1978 the Peabody Board recognized Jim Henson for "gentle satire, clever characters, genuine good humor and for high standards for family viewing." So, what else is new? Viewers still get treated in the same gentle satirical way when the Muppets appear, they still find their appearances filled with good humor, and the family can still sit together and watch and enjoy without fear of embarrassment.

Now, thirty years after Jim Henson began the creation of the Muppet family (which, incidentally now numbers more than 200 characters) members of the Peabody Board (many of whom are still genuinely children at heart) use the traditional certificate and medallion to make a personal recognition of Jim Henson's fantastic contributions to American television (and indeed to the entire American scene).

In honoring Jim Henson the Peabody Board also honors "Miss Piggy," and "Kermit The Frog," and a myriad cast of others, all of whom document that America is still a nation where "rags to riches" dreams do come true and where even pigs and frogs don't have to present an American Express card to be instantly recognizable.

A personal Peabody to Jim Henson and the Muppets for thirty years of good, clean fun and outstanding entertainment!  hide info
