She said eighteen count. The teen part was just really quite.

But I really love the street story today!

Wow, it's a shame that I missed this episode. It sounds like it had quite a few goodies, includign Air and one of the Grover the Flight Attendant segments. Which one was it, the one where Mr. Johnson wants something to read, or the one where Mr. Johnson wants to be warm?

Best parts- Street Story with Telly and Gordon
Reused Ernie and Bert segment
Grover as a Flight Attendant (Is this new? i've never seen it before)
Air

Worst parts- basically everything else. Do we need that many kid films? That Kite thing was lousy and just lasted for EVER....

I want to add, I don't know if the "Celebrity" segment really qualifies as Celebrity. Wasn't that Gina? It's like someone backed out the last minute and they had to use her.

But I just loved how Telly thought of using a Turkey Sandwich to simulate a hill. Now that just killed me as much as the Grover segment. They really know how to make a word sound joke like that (when you shove random words into things and they sound funny).

 

[The Count]

Hi... The Grover sketch was the one where Mr. Johnson wanted something to keep himself warm. You know, I thought that was Gina in the word explanation segment, but wasn't sure. And yes, it should be called "Celebrity Moment", since that's at least one specifically-designated spot for them to appear in, as I'm sort of following the episode outline model posted at Muppet Wiki.

It's a bit odd that the segment where Mr. Johnson wanted something to read on an airplane wasn't shown, considering this seasons focus on literacy. But it seems like Mr. Johnson has been making a comeback in the last few years. I don't think any new material with him was shown between 2002 and 2005, and the only old material shown with him was the Elmo's World: Food segment. But then he returned for A Celebration of Me, Grover! made a cameo in a season 36 episode, appeared in two new sketches (and I think one repeat) in season 37, and this season we get at least one repeated sketch, a cameo in a street story, and a new sketch (though I think it's a remake of an older sketch).

I guess most of the classic material they show here are post-1980 skits, what with that "Air" song.

 

[Drtooth]

Addendum. As much as I hated seeing the Baby Bear segment, I couldn't help yelling "Hai! Takecopter!" when Hero Guy pulled his propeller off....

PM me if you care to know what that means. It's not anything Dirty, i just don't want to fill the thread up with an explaination of it.

Episode 4150: Storyline: I enjoy this one. It was fun and exctining. I loved that Telly was there with Gordon. And cool to see others around the story.

Segments: Enjoyed all these too. I was glad to see an not so old Ernie and Bert skit. Reminding me of the older version. Cool reused. Grover's was too.

Songs: I enjoyed seeing "Air" song. I saw that and went "Cool!" Glad to see those. Also all the other songs i head too. Enjoy it all.

That's my two cents and enjoyed this episode all over. Thanks SS for another good storyline.
