Sesamstraat's party !!!
september 1
There was a lot to talk about sesamstraat these last couple of months. The threat off ending the NPS, the network that broadcast Sesamstraat, the shedule time that is delead to 17:35h what also costed a lot of vieuwers.
Although these changes we can't disturb the joy...
Over a year we talked about it, and now its time: Tommie, Ieniemienie, Purk, Pino, Sien, Aart and all the others are moving! Sesamstraat celebrates it's 30th year and the whole block shall from now on be living between gigantic blocks and broccolitrees.
This saturday we can all see it for the very first time on television, in a special jubilium episode with audience. "Poehee! This new set looks like my toybox, but then really big!" quoted by Tommie.
Also Bert and Ernie where on the set for this tv special. Since the begining they got their voices by Paul Heanen and Wim t. Schippers, and they prepared them selves for all newsfacts.
About Medy van der Laan Bert only had one thing to say: " Step down! So NPS and Sesamstraat can survive."
Also Cathy Spierenburg, who re-sheduled Sesamstraat, was critisised: "We demand that the programm get it's old broadcast-time back (18:30h)!" Strikethreats at Sesamstraat? It's not that serious, quoded by Aje Boschhuizen (producer):" But I can't be responsible for the things that where said by Bert and Ernie... No one can!" Further there were Coockie and Elmo.

There was a song by Elmo and Ieniemienie for the first time on television. And Cookie song an old time favorite... " If moon was Cookie"

"NPS must stay! We just moved and I don't feel like packing my toypets again". With these words the big Sesamstraat-bird showed how he thinks about the gouvernment and the public network's plans. They want to stop the funds and broadcast of the NPS.

At "het Plein" in Den Haag, Pino and comedian/ tv host Jorgen Raymann presented the 93.000 autografs to the cabinet representatives. There is a debat on monday abouth the future plans.
The whole day several NPS- artists protested on two stages. Among them where Wieteke van Dort (
