Children of the ’70s and ’80s may remember that breastfeeding used to be featured on ‘Sesame Street,’ as a way of educating kids about the natural bodily function. Apparently that practice has stopped, much to the dismay of the more than 5000 people who have signed a petition to “Bring Breastfeeding Back To Sesame Street.”

Well, it’s confirmed. Bruno Mars can sing about anything and it’s going to sound amazing. Case in point: the crooner’s new ‘Sesame Street’ tune, ‘Don’t Give Up.’

I haven't had to shop for kids before until this Christmas. All I can remember about toys are what I always wanted growing up. Problem is I haven't been been a baby in over 28 years and I'm looking for my nephew and I'm not use to wanting boy toys. I decided to do some research and see what toys kids are into now. The toys for girls were easy because I could tell it would have been something I wanted, but for a boy I struggled. But I think I have it all figured out and now have a better idea on what boys and girls want.

Elmo and Cookie Monster from Sesame Street visited the offices of Entertainment Weekly magazine recently and talked about some of the guest starts visiting Sesame Street this season including actors from the shows "The Big Bang Theory," "Bored to Death," The Office" and "CSI:  Miami"

‘Sesame Street,’ which recently featured a Justin Bieber-like Muppet, continues its pop-culture assault with this awesome little video spoofing ‘Glee.’ The short, called ‘G,’ which teaches kids about the hard and soft sounds the letter can make, features Muppetized versions of several ‘Glee’ characters, including Finn, Rachel, Kurt, Artie, Mercedes, Sue Sylvester, and Mr. Schuester (who’s redubbed

The next time you’ve had a hard day, sit back and relax to the dulcet tones of Elmo and a Justin Bieber-lookalike as they wax poetic about jumbo shrimp and elephants in a song called ‘Measure, Yeah, Measure.’ Which may or may not be based on the Biebs’ hit ‘Never Say Never.’

As ‘Sesame Street‘ prepares to kick off its 42nd season (seriously!) on September 26, several of the show’s monsters stopped by ‘Good Morning America‘ to wreak cuddly havoc.

Should long-time bachelor “roommates” Bert and Ernie tie the knot? LGBT activist Lair Scott thinks so, and he has created on online petition on Change.org which requests that Sesame Street and PBS allow the pair to wed. According to the petition, such a matrimony would help teach kids that homophobia is not OK.

Watch out Oprah and Dr. Phil.  Bert now has his own talk show.   In the maiden episode of 'Conversations with Bert,' the Muppet sits down with funnyman Andy Samberg for a discussion that covers  'Harry Potter,' imaginary jet packs and other topics.

I told you that there was a lot going on in Central New York this weekend. Toby Keith at Turning Stone. The Floyd Fire Department celebrates 50 years of service to our community at the Radisson. The Chili cook-off in Ilion to benefit the Red Cross and Elmo takes the Stanley stage in Sesame Street Live. Boy, My son Dylan was excited to meet Elmo. Mommy thought he'd cry, but not my boy.
