Pardon the pun, but count me in...I'd love to at least read the lyrics, although MeWantCookie's idea of doing your own clip on YouTube sounds great too.

What program do I need to play the previews? I checked the link, but couldn't see them... :-(

Awww! Please let me know when you can find someone to help with the conversion, since I'd still like to trade my movies for a couple of episodes. Thanks for writing back so soon, in any case...

Could I have the link, please? I haven't seen that sketch over there yet...

I saw that the old "Letter of the Day" sketch (with Cookie Monster locking the A cookie inside the safe) made it onto the list...but I also recall a much earlier lecture about the word "in", in which another character took a bagful of cookies and locked them in a safe. When Cookie Monster...

LOL...yeah, I have a feeling the sketches with Cookie's attempts to eat other characters were not shown very often, since CTW producers worried that might scare kids too much. (Those are the only two incidents I remember, thankfully; did Cookie ever attack any other characters that way?)

More stuff he's eaten: The number 17 (in a cartoon about counting to 20) Lettuce leaves (part of Bert's flower costume in a pageant) A locked safe (in two separate sketches; both times he was trying to get at the cookies inside, so that might not count) A whistle (as "dessert" at the end of a...

"Every strip" of Bert's bacon, and Ernie's "very own X", got eaten by the still-nameless Cookie Monster in Episode 8. That sketch was also one of the few times he used proper grammar ("I always like to eat bacon and X!") Generally speaking, though, Cookie has eaten every letter of the...

Erine81981-- I've been looking for the falling-in-love and wedding episodes, myself; my collection isn't as big as yours, but I do have 20-odd Unpaved episodes and three movies you might be interested in. (Almost all of the Unpaved episodes I have are on your list, but I thought I'd let the...

Matt Vogel has performed Big Bird in some recent episodes; I think he is Carroll's understudy for the part, but I'm not sure. Could someone please check the facts for me?

That's a perfect example of what I was getting at: it would take the death of another long-time cast member who hadn't already left the show. The people who play Luis and Maria have been part of Sesame Street since Season 2, so having the characters die with them is perfectly reasonable.

Northern Calloway left the show (due to health problems) a few months before he died; the writers had already decided to have David move away to live with his grandmother, and weren't trying to cover up a death that hadn't happened yet. I see your points; then again, it would make less sense...

I'd say that a death storyline would come up again only in a situation like Mr. Hooper's: the actor playing a major human character would have to die before he could leave the show. (A Muppet would be less believable, since they're not realistic characters and tend to get involved in fanciful...

Hmmm. On one hand, real-life shops in real-life cities do change over the years; on the other, Hooper's and the Fix-It Shop have become cultural icons for a lot of people who grew up watching Sesame Street. So I can understand the stores getting facelifts...although Hooper's could have kept a...

"Healthy Food", in my opinion, is another good example of older material doing a better job...and I might add, if they needed to update the musical style, why couldn't they have remade the song with Cookie Monster as the star (not some human rapper)? That should've been enough to drive the...

Season 38 in a nutshell The good points Finally, Sesame Workshop kept their promise about emphasizing a new theme--and they did it without using the hard-sell, "force it into every episode" approach they had used to teach "Healthy Habits for Life". No preachy songs about "books are good...

This crossover episode is one I'd love to see go direct-to-DVD...it's got something for everybody. On a scale of 1-10, this gets a perfect score!

Goodness knows I am sick and tired of seeing ads for exercise programs, diet pills, and mega-healthy low-everything food whenever I watch network TV...not to mention the public service announcements during kidvid time, which demonize ANY food with sugar, fat, or meat in it. Obesity may be a...

I remember that a couple of lines in that fruit song were changed later: "Don't eat a lemon, it might make you sick" became "Don't eat a lemon, it'll make you go 'ick'". (Guess they didn't want kids to think lemons were poisonous or something...) The "murder" description of pineapples was...

Good point, Dana: if the Workshop knew that such young kids would lose interest after 45 minutes, why didn't they just cut the show's duration (and let EW stand on its own)? That seems like the easiest way to solve the problem.
