In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although some people do not agree with some parts of the program,parents praise it highly. Many teachers find that problems appear when the children who have learned from "Sesame Street"are in the same class with those who have not watched the program.

Why has "Sesame Street"been so much more successful than other children's shows?
