NEW YORK (AP) - Elmo is trying to help families navigate some tough times.

Producers of "Sesame Street" say they are producing a prime-time special to help parents and young children deal with economic hardship. The special will be aimed at families with children aged 2 to 8. It will air on PBS stations on Sept. 9.

Elmo is joined by Al Roker and Deborah Roberts on the special.

It's directed at both parents and kids in families where someone is dealing with a job loss or the income is much less than it was.

Elmo and Barney Franks sound a lot alike-this ought to be interesting. Cookie Monster, the Grouch,hmmm-I can see a definite correlation with our government. Can we let Dora and Diego talk about hand-outs, I mean the stimulus,next time?
