My choice for Herry: "I Can't Help It" (the song where he apologizes for being accident-prone and not knowing his own strength). For Lefty the Salesman, his only known song: "Would You Like to Buy an O?" For Ernie, tied with "Rubber Duckie": "Imagination" deserves at least as much...

I don't know whether this counts as a hidden gem or not, but someone must have been thinking of this classic clip when Luis removes seven random items from the broken washing machine. (Since they were teaching a number instead of a letter this time, it was the total count of weird things that...

I know the curriculum this season focuses on nature and eco-friendly behavior, but does Sesame Workshop have to recycle so much material? :D I too felt disappointed after the street scene ended--that had a well-chosen plot, realistic "kid logic" from the party guests, and a cute musical number...

K is also for Klutz, which is what I feel like after that Spanish mistake...I knew there were some foreign words which kept the initial letter unchanged, but this time I misremembered one. (As for that "three-letter acronymic word", I agree whole-heartedly that it doesn't belong on Sesame...

The street story is one of the best I've seen this season: even the bears' dependence on porridge (which usually annoys me) became the springboard for a science lesson. Alan explains about hibernation; Max Bear adds to the lesson by singing about bears' other unique traits. All in all, a...

Amen; hopefully FrankenZoe will be retired when Sesame Workshop gets enough cash. She looks as ugly as tiny-headed Big Bird did...and as creepy as the evil-eyed debut version of Mr. Snuffleupagus. [snippage] Great minds think alike; I liked Murray and Ovejita's working together as a...

Episode 4188 in review The Good Points: The street story felt like an abridged version of a classic plot: nursery-rhyme characters appearing on the street with problems, which the rest of the cast gradually helps them solve. It's a shame that 80% of the good writing gets crammed into the...

And here I was, picturing a "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" remake that ended with some guy scrubbing a filthy number 12. Thanks for the surprise!

Great "Take That" meta-humor; what old-school fan doesn't miss Monsterpiece Theater being replaced by those preachy Dinner Theater parodies?

Awesome work as usual, Snowthy: having Radar the teddy bear come in and act like his M*A*S*H namesake was a touch of genius. :wisdom:

Bravissimo! If it weren't for the religious groups who take the original movie dead seriously, I could easily see this parody on an older episode of Sesame Street.

Episode 4187 in review The Good Points: The hint of "Follow That Bird" that others have mentioned in the opening scene: like Miss Finch, Mr. Flipman overreacts to Big Bird's minor discomfort and tries to make him behave like other birds. The goodbyes to the cast put a lump in my throat...

The other day it occurred to me that someone should spoof the song "40 Blocks from My Home" to do a rough timeline of Sesame Street's development. Here's what I have so far... "40 Years on the Air" by Ingeborg S. Nordén Based on an original performed by Jerry Nelson [Spoken as director's...

Could you add my "Elmo's World: Hugging" fanscript to the list? I didn't finish it as well as I could have, but fanscripts that copy the show in a serious tone do deserve a place here...many thanks!

Looking forward to seeing more of Sesamgade on YouTube....thanks for the upload! :)

Mine is pretty self-explanatory: I was born in mid-January of 1969, ten months before Sesame Street went on the air nationally. (Of course, I couldn't have remembered Season 1 when I was less than a year old... :) )

I've seen some of the press-release clips on YouTube tonight. The "D for Dance" one was brilliant; the rearranged theme song was pretty good (gotta love Cookie Monster with a mouthful of chalk dust!). But "Mad Men" focused on too many emotions at once--kids will probably learn more about...

I saw a lot of live puppet shows growing up, myself--so I figured out that the Muppets were just puppets early on, even though some of them were built to do stuff that normal ones couldn't. (The scenes with Bert and Ernie drinking through straws must've had a bottle inside each Muppet, for...

Like many of the older fans, I wouldn't insist on retiring Elmo altogether, just restoring his old status as an equal of the other Muppet characters. The last few seasons of Sesame Street have carved it up into too many one-Muppet showcase segments--something that other countries have resolved...

I used to blame Elmo's takeover for ruining Sesame Street years ago; I've even had anti-Elmo rant threads deleted from these forums (and the mods had a good reason to do it!). Since then, I've gained a little more perspective: Elmo himself is not a bad character. Granted, I liked him a lot...
