Getting the shortened week off to a lighter (and September-season-themed) beginning, The Huffington Post has an article focusing on How Your Favorite TV Shows Are Handling the Recession. Within the piece are plot synopses of seven different shows from &lt;i&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/i&gt; (Homer&#39;s house gets repossessed) to &lt;i&gt;Desperate Housewives&lt;/i&gt; (Lynnette and Tom&#39;s pizzeria is forced to close due to the recession).&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s all well and good, but what of those of us who like our televisual entertainments to be a little more…furry? &lt;i&gt;Sesame Street&lt;/i&gt; is airing an episode tomorrow night (Wednesday, September 9) in which a certain red monster has to come to terms with the fact that his mom has been laid off. The result: a show that is slightly more realistic—and pragmatic—than the premise behind &lt;i&gt;Hung&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;Breaking Bad&lt;/i&gt; (shows that have otherwise ordinary middle class characters making ends meet through male prostitution and meth dealing, respectively). &lt;p&gt;Leave it to &lt;i&gt;Sesame Street&lt;/i&gt;—a show featuring a giant talking yellow bird and a mathematically gifted vampire—to inject a dose of reality back into the recession. That&#39;s right: rather than turning to a life of crime, Elmo discovers that he has to cut back, accepting DVD nights at home rather than trips to the movies, and learns important lessons about separating his &quot;needs&quot; from his &quot;wants&quot;. That&#39;s a message likely to resonate with anyone who&#39;s lost a job in this recession—and one that he&#39;s taken way beyond the usual confines of his brownstone neighborhood. Check out his appearance on the &lt;i&gt;Today&lt;/i&gt; show last weekend:&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;512&quot; height=&quot;296&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.hulu.com/embed/S1kGrPXPekgutTL0_HOEng&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.hulu.com/embed/S1kGrPXPekgutTL0_HOEng&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;512&quot; height=&quot;296&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;--Posted by Phil Stott, Vault Staff Writer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
