Sesame Family Robinson

Sesame Family Robinson was an official Sesame Workshop parenting blog on Sesamestreet.org, run by Sesame Street puppeteer Martin P. Robinson and his wife and Sesame Street writer Annie Evans from 2009 to 2012. The blog chronicled their lives since shortly before the birth of their twins, Lyra and Ripley. Evans wrote the text while Robinson made short films for the blog (although he had on occasion posted on the blog).
Besides coverage of everyday, personal family life as well as first-hand behind-the-scenes Sesame event reports, the blog also features several investigative and humorous status reports by Robinson's character, Telly Monster.
The Telly puppet featured in the videos was last used on Sesame Street in 2000.Sesame Family Robinson: Telly Monster Trivia
Nadine Zylstra, Assistant Vice President, Programming, and Digital Media at Sesame Workshop, had approached the couple about chronicling their lives through the blog. She says:
In late 2010, the blog spilled over to YouTube, as Baby Sports. The blog was last updated on June 24, 2012. The blog was removed in June 17, 2016 following Sesamestreet.org's redesign.
