I suffer from eternal muppets / Sesame Street brainrot so allow me to cleanse your timeline with an informational thread of international Sesame Street co productions. There are foreign dubs too, but this will specifically talk about the co produced shows.

The first one was Plaza Sesamo, the Latin American co production, which mostly focuses on Mexican culture but also had Panamanian and Argentine cast members.

Growing up in a Hispanic home, I watched this when I was younger and so it’s my favorite co production.

MVP - Abelardo

The second one was Vila Sesamo, the Brazilian co production. It originally ended in 1977 but came back in 2007.

The big blue bird, Garibaldo, was remodeled to look exactly like Big Bird in the 2007 revival, he’s the MVP ig

Sesame Park, the Canadian co production. It began as an edited version of the US original in the 70s with Canadian cartoons inserted it, then aired as Sesame Park in 1996 until 2002 because PBS has a station in Canada, meaning you can see the US version on WNED.

Sesamstrasse, the German co production. It began as just a German dub of the original show and became its own thing. It’s rather infamous and controversial for something pretty gross, look it up on the Muppet Wiki if you’re brave (not for the squeamish)

MVP: Samson + Tiffy

Sesamstraat, the Dutch co production. It’s extremely famous in The Netherlands and suffered much scheduling problems there, causing protests. MVP - Pino

1 rue Sesame, the old French co production. Less well known compared to 5 rue Sesame. MVP - Toccata, the Scuttle lookalike

Barrio Sesamo, the Spanish co production. It started off as a European Spanish dub of the American Sesame Street, but soon became its own thing.

MVP - Espinete, who looks like Kippi Ben Kippod from the Israeli co production Rechov Sumsum

Iftah Ya Simsim, the Arabic co production. It airs in the United Arab Emirates and is the first co prod in Arabic

During the Persian Gulf War, Iraqi forces stole videotapes of the series as well as the costume of Nu’man the camel, and they’re still lost to this day

MVP- Nu’man

Svenska Sesam, the Swedish co production. No new puppets were made for this show. The only puppets were from American sketches.

Rechov Sumsum, the Israeli co production. Kippi Ben Kippod looks just like Espinete, doesn’t he? He’s the MVP

He was taken off in 2006.

Sesame!, the Filipino co production. The Philippine government didn’t finance it well and so the show was canned and replaced with Batibot, which was way more popular.

MVP - Pong Pagong

Susam Sokağı, the Turkish co production. It’s so popular that it still airs reruns in Turkey

MVP - Minik Kuş

Rua Sésamo, the Portuguese co production. It was short lived but it still popular.

MVP - Poupas

Sesam Stasjon, the Norwegian co production. This show is set on a train station and not a street, so this show is perfect for rail enthusiasts.

There was going to be a theme park based on the show in Norway, but it never came to be.

MVP - Max Mekker

Ulica Sezamkowa, the Polish co production. Before the show was made, kids in Poland watched the American Sesame Street with a guy doing a Polish voiceover

MVP - Bazyli

Ulitsa Sezam, the Russian co production. Like the American show, it went through a revamp to be more modern.

MVP - Zeliboba

Zhima Jie, the Chinese co production. Prior to this, the original show was dubbed in Mandarin

The show distinctly separated itself from the American Sesame Street by having different characters (except for Big Birds) and symbolic themes.

MVP - Xiao Mei Zi (Little Plum)

Rechov Sumsum — Shara'a Simsim, the Israeli and Palestinian co production that mashed up Rechov Sumsum with a new show called Shara’a Simsim. It tried to promote friendship between Israel and Palestine, but failed.

Alam Simsim, the Egyptian co production. The letter and reading segments are taught in Modern Standard Arabic which is the language that all Arabic children will use for reading and writing.

MVP - Nimnim

Takalani Sesame, the South African co production.

The show features Kami, who is HIV-positive. Homophobes went after her, saying that she was gay, even though she’s not and HIV has nothing to do with being gay. She got it from a tainted blood transfusion

She’s the MVP, duh

Running low on remaining tweets. Will continue when I get the motivation
