Adult ‘Sesame Street’ to teach ‘how to live’
September 25th, 2010 - 2:42 pm ICT by ANINew York, Sept 25 (ANI): PBS is collaborating on an adult “Sesame Street” - a new series that will teach baby boomers how to live.
Called “Next Avenue,” the series — and corresponding Web site — aims to help teach baby boomers how to handle their lives now that they’ve reached middle age, just as preschool TV show teaches kids their A-B-Cs.
Along with American Public Television and PBS, Twin Cities Public Television has already pitched in with 5 million dollars grant money for the series, which is due to launch in the spring, reports The New York Post.
“We are designing ‘Next Avenue’ to be a virtual life coach for baby boomers,” Twin Cities Public Television president Jim Pagliarini told Broadcasting & Cable.
“It will also challenge them to see the opportunities life holds after 45.” (ANI)
