    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    I still have the feeling that all the "Word on the Street" segments were shot in just one day or even two. Maybe when they started, the first thing they shot was Murray's "Hi! I'm Murray from Sesame Street, and I'm looking for... the Word on the Street!" Then they shot the title card, got out...

    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    Well, "Chris Griffin" WAS the one who created Robot Chicken! At least with that show, we get an actual Muppeteer in the voice cast (Victor Yerrid)

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    It was cool to see "Things That I Remember". I count it as classic since Jeff Moss wrote it and it has Frank Oz's Bert. "American Monster Classics" was also pretty cool. The ending where Cookie Monster eats the sign and then his tie was reminiscent on how he'd eat his pipe at the end of the old...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    Who voices the CGI Twiddlebugs? It sounds like they are voiced by Muppeteers with the voices speeded-up. One member said it sounded like the father was now voiced by Jerry Nelson!

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    I think the "Air" clip is from the 1980s... usually when it comes to re-running skits, Sesame Street uses post-1980 material.

    Current episodes without Elmo's world...

    And the only human cast members that are still on from since 1969 are Bob McGrath and Loretta Long. So far there's been no new material with Bob this season, and there was a cameo by Susan in Episode 4138. Then again, Luis and Maria have had the same actors since 1971, and we still have Fran...

    Leslie also performs Prairie Dawn's mom in "Sesame Beginnings." BTW, is this so far the only Global Grover they've shown this season?

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

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

    "The Witches"

    I love this movie too. I thought it was funny when a witch, disguised as a chef, samples the "tainted" soup and transforms into a mouse. Then she runs into the dining area warning the other witches, "Don't touch the soup! The formula's in it!" The other witches ignore the warning and think it's...

    How many muppets lived on the original Sesame Street?

    Mr. Johnson and Harvey Kneeslapper didn't join until 1971. When the show first started, they only had the Green, Fat Blue, Pumpkin, Orange Gold, Lavender and Purple Anything Muppet patterns. Then in 1970, they designed the Large Lavender Live Hand puppet, and then in the mid-1980s came the...

    Preacher: I now pronounce you husband and wife. Big Bird: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! (Gina shuts Big Bird's beak) ROFLMAO!

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    BTW, who performed the wolf in Episode 4145? Joey Mazzarino was busy playing one of the pigs, so I'm guessing it's either Kevin Clash or Marty Robinson. Too bad; I liked Jerry Nelson's wolf, even if he sounded like Herry Monster.

    What do you think of Abby Caddaby so far?

    I'm pretty sure that's the case because a few times Big Bird's mouth movements did not match up very well with his dialogue, so I'm sure it's Matt in the puppet and Carroll looping the dialogue.

    Current episodes without Elmo's world...

    I think it could be because Sesame Workshop might be thinking of a separate "Elmo's World" program. I agree with that idea. But my suggestion for current episodes if that there is an Elmo-heavy episode, then do not show Elmo's World. If Elmo does not appear in the street scenes or any other...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    Was "Take a Turn" a rerun skit? This counts as Herry Monster's second appearance in this season, even if it's reruns. I think Herry was originally meant to be Jerry Nelson's main character, until the Count became popular.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    My ideas is that if an episode focuses on other characters and rarely features Elmo or doesn't feature him at all, THEN show "Elmo's World." If Elmo's the center of attention then there might not be any need to show it. Anyways, the new Big Bad Wolf puppet doesn't look that great in my...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    I liked Season 37, and I also like Season 38. This season starts a new era in the show. I know we had... The "Old School" Era: Season 1 to 5 The "New Gordon" Era: Season 6 to 11 The "Neo-Old School" Era: Season 12 to 16 The "Changing" Era: Season 17 to 24 The "Around the Corner" Era...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    At least Horatio Elephant's voice isn't as grating and annoying as it originally was when Joey Mazzarino took over. The elephant's voice was annoying and screechy enough to shatter glass in the "Princess and the Two Elephants" skit!

    What do you think of Abby Caddaby so far?

    Exactly! She isn't overrated yet, in my opinion. I'm just a little nervous about SesameWorkshop's plan to put her in each episode, but so far it's mostly minor appearances. I'm cool with these minor appearances, though.
