Video: The Norwegian Sesame Street

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Norwegian co-production of Sesame Street, I made this short documentary about the history of Sesam Stasjon. I’m very excited to tell you about Alfa, Bjarne Betjent, Max Mekker, Leonora Dorothea Dahl, O. Tidemann, and Py, who all live and work at a small train station in Norway.

This video was largely inspired by DefunctTV’s Jim Henson series from Defunctland. Sesam Stajon would not exist without the creation of The Muppets and Sesame Street, so the history depicted in those videos leads directly to what I discuss in this one. Check it out!​

Here’s the script for this video.
