''Sesamstraße'' (Sesame Street in English) is the German-language version of ''Sesame Street'', a children's television series. It airs primarily in Germany and the surrounding German-speaking countries. The show premièred on 8 January 1973, ''Sesamstraße'' has been running on Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) since 1973; it's now in its 40th season. ''Sesamstraße'' is also broadcast on Das Erste and KiKa. ==History== After a short test run of a few original, undubbed ''Sesame Street'' episodes from August 1972 onward, the German version of the show premiered on January 8, 1973. The first three seasons, or 250 episodes of ''Sesamstrasse'' consisted of the original American episodes dubbed to German in Hamburg. Merely the opening and closing songs and sequences were changed, featuring new lyrics written by Volker Ludwig and tunes by Ingfried Hoffmann. The title of the German theme song is ''Der, die, das'' (wer, wie, was – wieso, weshalb, warum – wer nicht fragt, bleibt dumm!), almost literally translating to This, this and that (who, how, what – why, why and why – those who don't ask stay dumb!). The exception to air the program was Germany's most southern state of Bavaria, where the local TV station felt that the Sesame Street set was too gritty to suit German children, and consequently had to develop its own children's programming called Das feuerrote Spielmobil (The fire-red Play-mobile). Variety shows like Peter Alexander präsentiert Spezialitäten in 1975 promoted the show by stopping by the original US-set, and taping special footage. Yet from 1976 through 1977 the street scenes were dropped, due in part to a consistent onslaught of protesting parents that were unhappy with the "controversial" character of Oscar the Grouch. Instead a new framing story was created, following the antics of a boy named Bumfidel and his mother. Since these stories did not take place on a street, the show's title was temporarily rendered incomprehensible. The most controversial moment of this early period was a film showing the unconcealed birth of a human baby. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sesamstraße」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
