    Has Sesame become less educational?

    It would be ironic if they did downgrade it - which it feels like that to me but it's hard to tell - because Kindergarten seems to be getting tougher, more kids required to know their letters, numbers, etc.. I still remember entering Kindergarten in '74 and being able to count to 50, the only...

    Speech Problems

    LOL, great line, it certainly does show the comedy of it. I find a difference, though, between Baby Bear's and Elmo's/Cookie Monster's speech. The letter sounds don't always come in all at the same time. *However*, it is something that can be worked on, and I would hope that now tht Curly...

    Desiree Casado as Gabby

    Wait, then I'm confused; her birthday is given as 1985. (Not that imdb is always right, but...) I thought Gabi was born more like 1991-2, after Luis and Maria got married. Or maybe a short time after that. It does make sense if 1993's when she started but...doesn't she look older than 11 to...

    The most DATED thing on classic Sesame Street?

    I remember that one too, but the only parts I remembered vividly were the boss' instructions and the gorilla with the 20. I know they showed it at least till I was 5 or 6 (1974-5) but even then it's one of those bague childhood memories - you know you saw it but can't place a time, etc. on it...

    Your Sesame Street Moments!

    My favorite Sesame Street moments always were around Bert & Ernie. I was shocked to learn int he last year or 2 they weren't brothers, b/c I thought they had to be, the way they joked around, how Ernie always played jokes and drove Bert nuts, yet no matter how frustrated Bert got they still...

    Elmo's World Parody - Elmo thinks about burping

    Okay, since so many complain about Elmo, I decided to coin a new version of the old adage...if you can't beat 'em, parody 'em. My friends and I, even in grade school, loved to burp - as many boys do. So... (Intro: Elmo loves his *burp* Excuse Elmo. Elmo loves his goldfish (picture shows...

    I think I remember thinking it was Praire Dog, too :-) They had the one this past season about Rosita's voice which was kind of like what you're talking about with the accent, and people making fun of it. But, on the whole, you're right. OTOH, what you're talking about is likely from the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 35

    LOL, I've got to see that one! I obviously missed it; which ep. is it in? I've always loved parodies; I can remember making up silly little ones when I was a kid even.As long as that part stays (and it should, they do seem to cater to adults some) it'll be okay :-)

    Sesame Street Dream

    You changed thoughts in your dream? Cool, I can do that too, and could as a kid, to some degree, but it works witht he right thought maybe 20% of the time, and the other 80% it's like my brain says "okay, you don't like my idea, well I don't like yours, let's try a 3rd, random one." But it did...

    Closing Classic Sketches on The Street We Live On

    The coment in another thread about Forgetful Jones singing the wrong vowel int he Oklahoma sketch (1988 in the end clips) helped me to finally know just what in the world was going on there. It was while I was in college, and there were college kids who watched it as study breaks, so I could...

    TMS outline - Fernando Valenzuela - baseball

    I'm a huge baseball fan. And, while it's usually singers, they had actresses and comedians before, so why not a famous athlet. They just needed to go one more season for this superstar (at the time - wound up having the career of a very good pitcher, but not nearly a Hall of Famer) who won the...
