Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum

Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum is an animated series that debuted on PBS Kids in 2019. Based on Brad Meltzer's book series Ordinary People Change the World, the series centers on a trio of children who utilize the time travel capabilities of a "secret museum" to meet different figures in history.
The season two episode, "I Am Sonia Manzano," premiered on September 10, 2024. Manzano's involvement in Sesame Street is heavily referenced in the bookending sequences; the opening shows the three leads on the stoop of 123 Sesame Street and a soundalike of the "Sesame Street Theme" is peppered into the score during the scene. A publicity shot of Manzano on the Sesame Street set is also used.
When the trio go back in time to New York City in 1957 to meet Manzano, she is shown living in an apartment resembling 123 Sesame Street (though it is not acknowledged as such). The kids proceed to make up a story using puppets, who appear again during the coda.
