Helpsters is a children's television series created and produced by Sesame Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind the beloved Sesame Street. The show premiered on Apple TV+ in November 2019 and features a team of vibrant monsters, led by the enthusiastic and encouraging Cody (Ingrid Hansen), who help solve problems and answer questions that preschoolers might have. Each episode of Helpsters centers around a specific theme or concept, such as the alphabet, colors, or counting. The show blends live-action segments with colorful animations to engage young viewers and make learning fun. Cody and her friends often sing and dance while teaching kids about important topics, making the show not only educational but also entertaining. Cody is joined by her fellow Helpsters, including Scatter (Stephanie D'Abruzzo), a scatterbrained monster who loves to organize things, and Mr. Primm (Martin P. Robinson), a wise and patient monster who helps the team understand more complex concepts. Together, they work on various projects, such as creating a map of their neighborhood or building a machine to sort recyclables. One of the unique aspects of Helpsters is its focus on problem-solving and critical thinking skills. The Helpsters use a step-by-step process to break down a problem and come up with a solution, encouraging kids to approach challenges in the same way. This emphasis on problem-solving aligns with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education, making Helpsters an excellent resource for parents and teachers looking for educational programming for young children.

Robinson (Mr. Primm) is a legendary puppeteer who has worked on Sesame Street since the 1980s. He brings a gentle and calming presence to his role, making Mr. Primm a valuable member of the Helpsters team. Robinson has also served as a mentor and teacher to many of the younger puppeteers on the show, helping to ensure the longevity and success of Sesame Workshop's productions. Helpsters is a charming and informative show that is perfect for preschoolers and their families. The vibrant characters, catchy songs, and engaging animations will captivate young viewers, while the show's focus on problem-solving and critical thinking skills will provide a strong educational foundation.
