Elmo's Christmas Countdown

So supposedly this is a Christmas special that will air in primetime on ABC, this actually sounds interesting.

A puppet version of Ben Stiller, Jennifer Hudson, two guys from the Sapranos playing Bert and Ernie, on ABC, on Primetime, hmmm. I dont really know what to think.

Well I probably won't watch since the modern show and I haven't really jelled. Maybe if it had been called Sesame Street's Christmas Countdown, lol. Though, it is nice to know Grover will be there, he's always been one of my favorite SS Muppets.

And I am NOT a fan of the Sopranos and I never want to see them again, heh.

Hah, I think since its going to air Primetime it might be a tad bit different.

It's been a long time since there was a Sesame Street special that didn't initially air on PBS.

Gotta love the classics, but maybe they'll have a new composition!

Okay, let me think...

1. "Elmo's Christmas Countdown". Mm-hmm. I should've figured that.
2. Tony Sirico and Steve Schirripa are "playing Bert and Ernie"? I'm confused... are they like going to dress up as Bert and Ernie for fun, or are they going to dub the voices, or what?
3. Does Ty Pennington's appear confirm they're doing away with the old set and getting a new one?
4. Big Bird, Oscar, Snuffy, Grover, and Count as the co-stars? I hope that's true, and doesn't turn out to be like what they did with Trapper on M*A*S*H.
5. This will certainly be... interesting to say the least, hopefully it will turn out better than I anticipate.
