Sesame Street is celebrating its 40th season, beginning on November 10, and is boasting an impressive roster of celebrity guests including First Lady Michelle Obama, Ricky Gervais, Paul Rudd, and Medium’s very own Patricia Arquette. Arquette appears about midway through the season in an episode about amphibians.

Her co-star is the lovable Abby Cadabby, and they talk about the “Word on the street,” which is “metamorphosis.” Behind the cut has the episode description and an adorable photo of Arquette and Abby. I haven’t found a video of her appearance yet, but here’s one of some highlights from the upcoming season. It looks hysterical.

Episode 4201: Amphibian Show

• 
• Patricia Arquette & Abby Cadabby

Elmo and Abby are resting when suddenly it’s time to play the game show, “Find that Amphibian.” Elmo and Abby must find an amphibian before the game show’s tadpole turns into a frog. They don’t know what an amphibian is, but the announcer gives them a clue- an animal that starts out living in water.

Elmo and Abby meet a fish and are convinced they have won the game! As the announcer explains, though, fish only live in water and not on land. Elmo and Abby look for their second clue- an animal that breathes air. They find an amphibian! A bird! They learn, though, that amphibians don’t have any feathers. Elmo and Abby look for their third clue-an animal with four legs. Elmo and Abby come across a horse, but a horse is a mammal, not an amphibian. Elmo and Abby use their last clue about metamorphosis to help them. They come across an alligator. Could this be an amphibian? No, an alligator is a reptile not an amphibian. He looks the same way now as he did when he was a baby, only bigger.

Elmo and Abby are disappointed. They’re never going to find an amphibian! Luckily, they run into Chris who suggests that they find an animal that fits all the clues- an animal that lives in water when it’s a baby, breathes air as an adult, has four legs, and goes through metamorphosis. Suddenly, they think of Anne Phibian, the game show’s announcer. She matches all the clues. Hooray! They found an amphibian. And just in time! Elmo, Abby and Chris celebrate as they dance with the amphibians!

Just one more reason to love "Sesame Street."

I don't tell a lot of people this, but when I was a kid I was so obsessed with "Sesame Street" that I wore a Big Bird pin every day. No matter what I was wearing, that Big Bird pin was on my shirt. I was going to let the world know where I stood in regard to Big Bird and his friends!

Maybe I should get a Patricia Arquette button, too...

I used to have a Big Bird doll I hauled around with me all the time. It had a pull-string on it, so when you pulled it, he would say something to you (I can't remember what though. I'm pretty sure there was a "I love you" in pre-recorded somewhere in his voice box :D).
