Sesame Street<\/a><\/strong>‘s 39th Season kicks off on Monday, August 11 with new segments, musical performances, parodies and cast members. Broadcast in HD, this season will feature new street scenes that will bolster a child’s math vocabulary. In one notable segment, Will Arnett<\/strong> plays Max the Magician, whose tricks may not be magic, but math! Indeed. Other celebrities joining Arnett this season include Feist<\/strong> (you knew the 1-2-3-4 song was destined for Sesame Street — if you can’t wait, check out the clip below from YouTube<\/strong><\/a>, it’s fantastic), Jessica Alba, David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Brian Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Sandra Oh, Jack Black, Jenny McCarthy, Feijoo Sisters<\/strong> and Jason Taylor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Continuing its tradition to use pop culture to educate, new parodies this season include “30 Rocks,” Pre-School Musical” and “Are You Smarter Than an Egg Layer,” hosted, appropriately, by Jeff Rocksworthy.<\/p>\n Young viewers will meet a new cast member on the Street this season: Leela, a young Indian-American who embraces her heritage and culture. Murray, already popular from his “Word on the Street” segment, will have a expanded role on the Street with “Murray Has a Little Lamb.” Murray will traverse the city following the clues provided by his Spanish-speaking cohort Ovejita. It’s a bilingual and cognitive-thinking adventure to discover all kinds of schools — karate, ice-skating, cooking and more — all over town.<\/p>\n Also notable this season will be an additional look for Bert and Ernie. The Misseri Studio<\/a><\/strong> in Italy has created a stop-motion version of the two friends for Bert and Ernie’s Great Adventures<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
