SESAME STREET’S 50TH

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Tuesday, November 19 at 7 p.m.

It’s an event 50 years in the making as Ses-

ame Street celebrates its 50th Anniversary.

We’re celebrating the world’s most iconic

street with all our furry friends and some

very special guests including Joseph

Gordon-Levitt, Patti LaBelle, Sterling K.

Brown, and many more! To mark the spe-

cial event, the whole neighborhood comes

together to take a photo under the Sesame

Street sign—but the sign is missing! While

Elmo and friends search for the sign, Joe

takes a look back at 50 years of Sesame

Street memories, and everyone soon real-

izes that Sesame Street isn’t just a sign or a

street—it’s a place where everybody is wel-

come, learning is fun, and all kinds of mon-

sters, birds, and humans come together to

form lifelong friendships. Wondering how

to get to Sesame Street? Don’t worry, it’s

closer than you think.

COLLEGE BEHIND BARS Monday & Tuesday, November 25 & 26 at 8 p.m.

College Behind Bars, a four-part documen-

tary film series directed by award-winning

filmmaker Lynn Novick, produced by Sarah

Botstein, and executive produced by Ken

Burns, tells the story of a small group of

incarcerated men and women struggling to

earn college degrees and turn their lives

around in one of the most rigorous and ef-

fective prison education programs in the

United States – the Bard Prison Initiative.

FRONTLINE

The Age of AI

Tuesday, November 5 at 8 p.m.

The promise and perils of AI; from fears

about work and privacy to rivalry between

the US and China. A new industrial revolu-

tion that will reshape and disrupt our lives,

our jobs and our world, and allow the

emergence of the surveillance society.

GREAT PERFORMANCES

Fridays at 8 p.m. throughout November

GREAT PERFORMANCES returns with

its third annual “Broadway’s Best” lineup

of acclaimed theatrical productions. This

fall’s lineup spotlights musicals, comedy

and drama: “42nd Street,” the Broadway

fable of a star-struck chorus girl dreaming

of her big break; “Rodgers & Hammer-

stein’s The King and I,” Lincoln Center

Theater’s Tony Award-winning revival of

the beloved musical classic starring Kelli

O’Hara and Ken Watanabe; “Kinky Boots,”

the Broadway blockbuster featuring music

and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper and a

book by Broadway legend Harvey Fier-

stein; “Red” the Tony Award-winning

drama starring Alfred Molina as painter

Mark Rothko; and Tony Award-winning

director Kenny Leon’s modern interpreta-

tion of “Much Ado About Nothing,” the

first Public Theater production recorded

live at Free Shakespeare in the Park by

Great Performances in over four decades.

WARRIOR TRADITION

Monday, November 11 at 8 p.m.

Learn the heartbreaking, inspiring and

largely untold story of Native Americans in

the United States military. This film relates

the stories of Native American warriors

from their own points of view -- stories of

service, pain, courage and fear.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS Saturday, November 16 at 7 p.m.

Join hosts Gavin MacLeod ("The Love

Boat") and Marion Ross ("Happy Days")

for this festive, all-star special of favorite
