Episode 5002 - The Great Sesame Street Cake Off
HBO Premiere: Saturday November 23, 2019
PBS Premiere: Thursday September 17, 2020

Cookie Monster and Gonger team up against Grover and Alan in a competition to see who can bake the best birthday cake for Nina. Elmo and Rosita help the two teams work together, combining one team’s cake and the other team’s frosting to make the ultimate birthday treat. Guest: Michael Che.

This episode features an all-new street story, the premiere of Big Bird's Road Trip ("Washington, D.C."), a new Abby's Amazing Adventures ("Bakers") and Elmo's World ("Cooking").

Meh. You'd think Grover / Cookie & Gonger as your stars would be a can't-miss premise, but nothing really came together (oh, the irony!). Michael Che was a little too...boring as well.

I had a suspicion that's how the Road Trip things were gonna work, but I was hoping they'd be long-form stuff like the Foodie Truck segments. I'm hoping maybe the next few will be a little more interesting.

I thought the street story was enjoyable enough. It was great having Gonger be involved in an episode for once. It is interesting that the Road Trip bits are so short that it allows for Foodie Truck and Amazing Adventures to be shown too. I thought the floating hands helping Abby and Rudy make pies was a cute idea.

(Shrug) It was okay, I guess. I liked the resolution in the end where Elmo and Rosita decided rather than it be a competition, they work together to make Nina's birthday cake.

A nice change of pace to have the usually hot-headed Gonger be patient with Cookie when he realizes how badly he messed up. Some other cool puppety observations include Gonger diving into the foodie truck (which I laughed at uproariously), and the spilt frosting landing on cue on the counter when Grover spills it.

I like Gonger's design; reminds me of an old school '70s puppet.

I don't know. I kind of liked how they made "Monster Foodies" into a street story, not unlike the episode with Cookie World/Elmo's World.

What’s the difference

I don't know. Seems like this post was from a while back. I kinda forgot what I was talking about there.
