Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 37

It was the Nasty Car Races episode. By the way, I really enjoyed it. As some of you said, nice to see Grungetta again. Also, I particularly enjoyed Luis in this one. I thought he was awesome! Very funny and natural. I feel like Maria and Luis are getting back to the classic Sesame Street adult style and not overdoing it like they have been.

For me today's episode was "Three Bears in Outer Space" episode. Friday of last week was the "Nasty Car Races" for me. So I did get to see it and I loved it. I was thinking the same way as everyone else that Marco was going to get the Sloppy Jalopy to start then to lose the race but still win. What would you expect? It's a grouch race. LOL. Glad to see them and everything else on that episode. I hope to see this more on the next season. Can't wait!

Thanks, BEAR and Erine81981. I think my station aired "Three Bears in Outer Space" today since it aired the "Nasty Car Races" episode on Friday. Thanks again.

Nasty Car Races here in NYC

Oscar goes to the Nasty Car Races and Megan goes back to school. Everyone is back to their old routines in my house. I liked Oscar's Sloppy Jalopy. It was interesting seeing what was inside that engine. I see that the SS library has books on every subject imaginable. "How to Gunk Up A Sloppy Jalopy and Make It Run Again," now there's a book I'd like to read I wonder if it's actually available for buying. I loved the way Marco finally got the car running sort of. Oscar won the race because he came in last Only a Grouch would have that advantage. Alphabet town was interesting. I loved seeing all the celebrities tap-dancing. I grabbed Johnathan and made him try to dance too. Then Megan (who is still getting into the idea of no longer being the star of the show) said "When he older he tap-dance." In a way Megan is right, the kid can't even walk yet, but hey he was having fun and so was his daddy.

I really enjoy the relationship developing between Oscar and Marco. It's rather sweet (don't tell Oscar I said that. )

What Relationship

FIRST I'M BEING ACCUSED OF HAVING A FRIENDSHIP WITH ELMO, NOW I'M ACCUSED OF HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH MARCO!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU I DON"T HAVE FRIENDS!!!

Then what about Grundgetta? And Irvine? And Slimey? And (especially) Maria?

I wouldn't worry too much about the color of the Sloppy Jalopy . . . I'm sure it just takes on the color of whatever layer of muck and ooze has coated it most recently.

There was a lot posts in this thread after this:

And your posts had nothin' to do with that quote.

Well that quote had nothing to do with this thread, so I don't see why anyone should feel obligated to respond to it.

You know, it's just that there's gotta be a Since-1998 Sesame Street Episode that would air without an Elmo's World Sketch.

If they end Elmo's World, they will also end Sesame Street, right?

Why don't you just get use to what SS is? It's not going to change because you and others don't like it.

So, without Elmo's World, kids will be complainin' about Elmo for the rest of their child ages, don't you think?

Elmo's World may still be on Sesame Street for many many times, but not Journey to Ernie. Journey to Ernie, I think, is better than Elmo's World, though younger kids don't agree with that.

Sorry to get off the "Elmo's World" subject, but I wanted to post some comments on the first part of the ep where Gina goes to Guatemala. I haven't seen that one before. I liked when Hoots was singing and it showed all the characters, very reminiscent of the earlier days of "Sesame Street." Herry was even shown, I didn't think we'd be seeing too much of him anymore. What I don't understand though is why Bert was there without Ernie. Maybe it's because Steve is busy preparing for some future Kermit appearances. Just a thought. Also, interesting how Elmo asked the exact same question about adoption two days in a row. He must have a short attention span. Lol. But it's alright, because it wasn't until the second part that Gordon mentioned the adoption of Miles. I was also thinking that they might have incorporated "Global Grover" and the Spanish Word in the street story. I really liked the part where Grover thought Gina was going to swim to Guatemala and he said that he did that himself. Lol. I also liked when Bob said that he took up knitting. I was wondering where his sweaters came from. I also liked when whats-his-name sang about between. I didn't think we'd see much of the Two Headed Monster since Journey to Ernie is gone, but I'm glad he/they is/are still around.

Yeah, Miles adoption was a big event and I knew they'd remember that. What sort of surprised me was hearing "Elmo Remembers!" It seems like the writers act like Elmo wasn't there before the 90s or whatever, but I'm glad they kept continuity in that area. Unless, he was just referring to seeing it when he was in Grover's magic taxi cab.

Well, I guess a lot of us can hold out hope that it could be phased out after a while (but I'm talking 5 years down the road at least). Personally, and I always have said, Elmo's World would work much better as a seperate show on it's own. I mean, if you crush two segments together, you could have an episode. And they wouldn't have to make too much new footage for it. But what it all boils down to is would PBS be willing to air another half hour of Sesame, and would SW be willing to devide the shows like that.

I do not think an SS episode would have no Elmo's world. It seems like whoever said that made it more of a command than as a fact.

I could see two legitamate Business men walking into J.G.C.'s office and saying that. And adding, "Cuz things break, don't they?"
