Lordy, Lordy, Look Who's Forty

Today television's most famous address, Sesame Street, turns 40 years old!

And to it's credit, Sesame Street - a program that has taught generations of children to count, countless parents how to teach and is seen in 125 countries around the world - Tuesday’s anniversary show will be just like all the others.

The letter of the day will be - H, as in help and hug and healthy.
The only real difference will be that on this day, viewers have to count to 40!
