× The AAPB is committed to complying with copyright law. Unfortunately, this means that sometimes we are unable to make available materials that you would like to see online. Most AAPB users understand this, and comply with our terms and conditions. However, recently, a user improperly downloaded episodes of Sesame Street that were restricted to AAPB premises. The restriction was based on both our agreement with the creators of Sesame Street and copyright law. AAPB has arranged for takedown of these episodes from the Internet Archive and YouTube, and has tightened security. For now, we have been forced to remove any AAPB access to Sesame Street with the exception of five programs for which we have received permission to make them available for research, educational, and informational purposes only. The archive will still be available on premises at the Library of Congress Moving Image Research Center to all registered users. We regret that the actions of a few irresponsible Sesame Street fans mean that other fans are now deprived of legal access to this cultural treasure on AAPB. We thank you for your understanding. You can get to Sesame Street in its official YouTube channel.

Description
Episode Description
It's twins day and everyone is celebrating on Sesame Street! Chris explains to Abby and Zoe that a twin is someone who has a sister or a brother who was born on the same day. Then, he introduces his twin sister, Christy! They love to tell private jokes and share a special bond. Abby and Zoe decide they want to go to the party too so they pretend to be twins and do everything the same. They both try to stand on their hands, do pirouettes and balance on one leg, but they aren't successful. They decide to ask Chris and Christy for help, but the party has already started. Meanwhile, the Count counts all of the identical and fraternal twins. Chris and Christy explain what identical and fraternal means and now Abby and Zoe decide to become identical twins by wearing the same outfit! Since they can't agree on a common outfit, Abby uses magic to make them look like identical twins! First, they both look like Abby, but Zoe can't do magic so they are not identical. Then, they both look like Zoe, but Abby doesn't have a pet rock. Once Abby changes back to herself, Chris takes them to the twin party to show them that twins can do different things even if they look the same. Abby and Zoe finally discover that they both love to jump. They become the jumping twins and join the party!
