The Street We Live On

The Street We Live On is a celebration of 35 years of Sesame Street, which aired as Episode 4057. In the special, Elmo has a special day in Elmo's World, thinking about his neighborhood. The special contains clips from classic Sesame Street episodes, a special musical number sung by the Sesame Street cast members, and a timeline sequence which pays tribute to some of the greatest moments of Sesame Street.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Even though it's mostly an extended Elmo's World episode, this special is presented in Sesame Street's original magazine format, which was last used in Season 32 and briefly returned in Season 38 (with Episodes 4137 and 4145 being the only ones to use this format).
 * 2) It has also shown classic pre-1990 segments as well, such as the Falling Baker skit, The Typewriter, and vintage Ernie & Bert segments.
 * 3) Several heartwarming moments, like when Grover and Elmo go back in time to see Mr. Hooper (pre-1983), Maria and Luis's wedding (1988), the birth of Gabi (1989), and the adoption of Miles (1985), and when Elmo and Dorothy join the rest of the cast convened at 123 Sesame Street singing "The Street I Live On."
 * 4) This episode pays tribute to Michael Jeter, the actor of Mr. Noodle's brother Mister Noodle who passed away from a seizure in 2003.
