Sesame Street Brought to you by the letters HBO billboards...

For over forty years American preschoolers have been able to find Sesame Street on PBS, but for its forty-sixth season you'll be able to find the show on HBO.

All your favourite characters like 'Big Bird', 'Elmo', 'The Count', 'Grover', 'Oscar the Grouch' and 'Cookie Monster' are back, but with a shorter half hour format, new opening segment and snazzy modernized set.

But don't despair if you don't already pay for the premium cable channel, the new episodes of the iconic fun and educational series will be available with all the others on your local PBS channel in about nine months.

These vibrant Sesame Street character billboards can't help but evoke nostalgic childhood memories, regardless of whether you have kids of your own.

The glorious giant-sized HBO billboard was snapped towering over the eastbound Sunset Strip on January 8, whilst the smaller square ad version was spied along La Brea Avenue and the landscape billboard above Robertson Boulevard on January 12, 2016.

Today and every day, this blog is brought to you be the letters D and B, and by the number 365.

Hopefully these fun and uplifting ads will help you enjoy your Martin Luther King, Jr. Day even more. Now, can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

These celebratory billboards for the show's fiftieth season were snapped along Fairfax Avenue and 3rd Street from October 30 to November 5, 2019 (although how could 'The Count' not be in this key art with that '50 years and counting' tagline).
