Jane Tuesday

Jane Tuesday is a recurring live-action segment on Sesame Street, which was added in Season 35. The series was created and produced by Adam Matalon, and starred Kyla Taub as Jane Tuesday, a seven-year old private detective, whose name is a riff on Joe Friday from Dragnet. The earliest segments involved Jane solving mysteries, which were often complicated by her brother, Billy (Taylor Matalon, the producer's son). Later segments were less narrative focused, and instead featured Jane Tuesday expounding on a topic, such as red or blue colored fruits. 
Matalon pitched the concept to Carol-Lynn Parente senior producer of the show. In a press release for the series, he explained the premise and development as follows:
