rsl12's 30 sec mystery #16
 

In this long-running tv show, more than 30 characters find themselves in relationships, get upset with each other, often talk about nothing in particular. The most popular character on the show is less flashy than the other actors, but generally comes across as much more charismatic. A couple of cast members have died during its run, but the show continued to chug along. Despite its long run, it never scored in the top 50 in the nielsen ratings. What is it?

Sesame Street.
