Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

Rerun. They broke the "every other day" pattern. I guess this means we have to wait forever until the next new episode.

Maybe it's because the reruns are a two-parter. We might get the new episode on Friday instead.

Well... It was reported here in this thread that the next new episode after 4155 would air this Friday, but we'll have to tune in and see to make sure. Especially since there are only five episodes left, and they could be saving those to air consecutively one last week in November like last year.

Yeah and the way my local station is and my work schedule is, I already missed five or six eps this season, so even when they do finish the season, I'll still be quite a bit behind. Lol.

Before we get off subject, I REALLY hope they don't, and they just run the last ones as is.

Let's not overdue it. I'm sure they'll have another new one sooner than that.

Wow! All in October. I think they're doing better this season than they have before.

Okay, not too much new material in this episode. I liked seeing "Global Grover." I think it was a rerun from an earlier season. Still they haven't shown that segment in a while so it was good to see that. I think what I liked best was the cartoon with the song "The Moon Shines." I could tell that was a Jerry Nelson voice since it sounded just like Robin. As for the street story, well it reminded me of my life. Lol. Last time I bowled I couldn't knock down any of the pins either. Though I don't do it too often. I liked the song Chris sang to Elmo, though I was sort of expecting Bob's "Practice, pratice" song. Anyone remember that one?

I also liked the concept with Abby saying the show's sponsors. I almost forgot and thought they were 'M and 6' rather than 'W and 9.'

Film/Animation with weird music.

The animation was one from the 90's featuring stop motion cut out of various toy tools and rectangles and squares being categorized by color, shape, and type. At the end it builds a kid's drawing style of a house (the square with the triangular roof). Mentioning this to help you with your categorizing and cataloguing.

Dull episode. Nothing new... Nice to see Elmo express emotion. he's pretty much stripped of it in Elmo's world. other than that, nothing noteworthy.

Loving Chris though. He's my new favorite cast member. Let's hope he has a good long stay.

Bad letter segment. Bad Hip Hop number segment. By Toutatis, that's gotten old quick.

And cute little Abby outro.
