The Longest Running Show Underground

My recent post about 'old-school' New York had me reminiscing about one of my favorite old Sesame Street segments... from back when the show more explicitly echoed its New York home. This one was about the subway,  "the longest-running show underground":

Bert, Kermit, and a large cast of Muppets sing about riding the subway. For more fun games and videos for your preschooler in a safe, child-friendly environment, visit us at http://www.sesamestreet.org Sesame Street is a production of Sesame Workshop, a nonprofit educational organization which also produces Pinky Dinky Doo, The Electric Company, and other programs for children around the world.

Sesame Street, by the way, still films here in New York City, and always has. Its home since 1993 has been Queens' own Kaufman Astoria Studios. The nearby Museum of the Moving Image will also soon be home to a permanent exhibition dedicated to works of Jim Henson.
