 History of Sesame Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sesame Street's format as established in 1969 would remain virtually unchanged for decades: live-action street scenes (sometimes following a minor plotline) would alternate with Muppet comedy skits, musical numbers and short film segments.
Many of the Muppet scenes and films were created so that they could be replayed over and over (at least one segment would be repeated within any given episode); some of the segments made in 1969 would continue to be rebroadcast into the 1990s until they were finally retired.
Thus they believe that this is when Sesame Street jumped the shark.
