Monica Encarnacion Common Sense Media There are plenty of takeaways, and whether or not you grew up on Sesame Street, parents -- and their kids -- will be better for watching the icon kid's program. Rated: 5/5 Dec 8, 2021 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Despite some flaws and omissions, the documentary is worth watching ...
