After seven days of tributes from the Grover-loving folks over at Google, Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary has gotten almost as much hype as the Wild Things premiere last month.  The celebration heads to Brooklyn today, where The Muppets Take Manhattan will be screened for old and new fans alike. Before the screening, Roscoe Orman—better known as Gordon—will dish about life on the Street and working with the legendary Jim Henson.

By now you’ve heard that children’s TV pioneer Sesame Street turns 40 this month. Although the show is filmed at Kaufman-Astoria Studios in Queens, the folks at the Brooklyn Public Library are hosting a major exhibit showcasing Jim Henson’s beloved Muppets. Head to the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza this Saturday, November 14th for the kickoff party, where kids can partake in Sesame-inspired crafts, watch a screening of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and meet the little red guy himself.  Speaking of Elmo, he appears on a new, limited-edition BPL library card available at any borough branch. Get one while supplies last, or you’re sure to have a little grouch on your hands.

We’re so silly. Of course the final doodle would feature the entire gang. After all, Sesame Street is first and foremost a community, right? The 40th season of every preschooler’s favorite show kicks off today but the celebration will likely continue all season.  If you want to mark the occasion with other fans, the Brooklyn Public Library’s Sesame Street exhibit opens this Saturday, November 14 with a family fun day, including costumed characters and themed activities. You can also head to 64th and Broadway any time this week: The corner’s been temporarily renamed in honor of the show.

Yesterday we figured Elmo would be it, but today the Count makes a cameo and the letters that spell out Google are appropriately turned into numbers. Ha-ha-ha. The Count’s long been one of our faves on the show. We’re so happy that, save Elmo (who was a given due to his popularity), Google has gone old-school with the tribute doodles, no Zoe or Abby Caddaby (no offense ladies). We believe the tributes end tomorrow; who do you think will be the last one? Our guess: Kermit the Frog. Granted, he’s no longer on Sesame Street, but before he crossed over to Muppets fame, he was the show’s resident amphibian as well as the character most closely associated with creator Jim Henson.

We’re guessing today is it. Elmo has finally arrived as the Google doodle. Yesterday Oscar made an appearance on the search engine. Google has always impressed us with its love of tot pop culture. Earlier this year, they celebrated the 40th anniversary of Eric Carle’s the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Wonder which iconic kids’ character is next in line for a tribute.

Okay, so we were wrong about Elmo, but Google is still highlighting Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary, this time with dynamic duo Bert and Ernie. What’s even cooler is that Google has vamped up their “Google Doodle” with different characters in countries worldwide. Check them all out on this website dedicated entirely to the Doodle, which showcases every one of Google’s past logos in the US and abroad.

The execs over at Google must be pretty big fans of the Street, because they’re honoring the show’s 40th anniversary again today. This time, the logo incorporates Cookie Monster noshing on one of his favorite treats, with his big Google-y eyes serving as Os. Who do you think will appear tomorrow? Our money’s on Elmo!
