Elmo's World

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:Tv sesame street dvd elmo's world.jpg Image:Tv sesame street elmos world.jpg Elmo's World is a segment of the children’s television show Sesame Street featuring Elmo, a small red monster who speaks in third person and is perpetually 31/2 to 4 years old. The show also features Mr. Noodle, a human mime character, and Dorothy, a goldfish. The segment was first introduced the beginning of its 30th season on November 16, 1998.

The segment takes place in a computer animated crayon-drawn apartment, presumably where Elmo lives.

Each day, the segment begins with Elmo announcing the topic for the day. Then, there is a series of skits and interviews centered on that topic. The skits and interviews are essentially the same everyday only changing the subject matter. They also always appear in the same order.

Currently the segment occupies the last 15 to 25 minutes of each Sesame Street show, but also has been syndicated - it appears as a separate show on the United Kingdom lifestyle channel LivingTV, and dubbed in Irish on TG4.
