Adult, straight roommates with no family ties to each other. (Muppet siblings tend to be based on the original character's pattern; Bert and Ernie look much too different to be brothers, plus they never mentioned being related on the show,)

Unless it was done as a parody with new lyrics, I would've saved this song for Maria and Luis' wedding; some lines ("white lace and promises", "just the two of us") suggest that the "we" in the title is a newly married couple.

If Sesame Workshop needed help writing Cookie Monster sketches (and you had the credentials), I bet they'd hire you first: you stay in character perfectly there. On a lighter note, I think this fanscript would interest you; you're not the only old-school fan who hates to see Cookie Monster...

What the hey, me ask strange-looking rabbit in cape to sing song instead. V for Vegetable good enough for HIM! :D

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, press the right key... That joke reminds me of a song/sketch with Maria showing Cookie Monster how a computer worked: the machine was running software that displayed a certain number of dancing blue cookies onscreen (depending on which number key was pressed). Cookie...

In my opinion, both dances are just fillers disguised as nutrition/exercise lessons: the pictures added onscreen may have shown fruits or vegetables, but none of the dance moves have any obvious connection to food at all. (A "veggie dance" worthy of the name would imitate people gardening...

The producers at Sesame Workshop really shouldn't over-emphasize any one kind of food if they're trying to promote good health. Reducing their lessons to "eat your colors", "sometimes/anytime foods", and "good kids always choose fruit/veggies as a snack" may give children the wrong impression...

I was terribly disappointed to see a rerun of "American Fruit Stand" today; the minute that delivery girl arrived at Hooper's, I changed the channel. (This is the wrong thread for ranting about a Season 36 episode, though, so I'm posting my biggest problem with it in a new topic.)

"You remember every other teen..." Oh heck yes; it's rare for me to like a recent sketch/song this much, but "Fifteen" rocks! Since I've got no way to record it, I hope some YouTube regular puts the song up there... P.S. I'm planning to submit the lyrics to Tiny Dancer's archive while I...

I get the feeling that "What's the Game Today?" is this season's alternative (at least part-time) to the old "Journey to Ernie". Although most of the games encourage kids to exercise as they watch, they're still fairly dumbed down...ugh.

More to the point...not seeing the actual graduation was a major letdown. For Pete's sake, older "milestone episodes" (Maria's wedding, Gabi's birth, Gina's graduation) actually showed the event taking place--at least, the parts that American rules for children's shows allow. Couldn't the...

*nods vigorously* Sesame Workshop has already made made Elmo's World into a separate program in other countries (Australia, Mexico and Denmark among others). Spinning it off in the US wouldn't be so wrong, either: I'd rather see those extra fifteen minutes used to continue the "street story"...

*nods* Ernie was not in a bathtub during any part of "Put Down the Duckie"; getting a saxophone full of soapsuds would have caused him more trouble than holding a rubber duck at the same time. :p In any case, most of the celebrity updates people have suggested so far are great. (I do wonder...

CTW originally borrowed that cartoon (and all the "Swedish Animation" number toons!) from a similar program in Sweden; the show was called "Five Ants Is More than Four Elephants", and the counting elephant was a recurring character there. (Yes, the Swedish version also showed him getting mad...

That sketch (despite Herry's invitation) scared the pants off me when I was a girl. For those of you who forget the details, Farley has been lecturing about various "things [he] can do with [his] mind": imagining, remembering, hoping, and planning. The knocks at Farley's door don't convince...

That particular alphabet clip is on my "hit the mute button until this is over" list, too: the loud, bizarre synth music is scary enough, but did the CTW guys ever realize that those two Muppets emerging from a split screen look spooky too?

Yes, the cop sneaking up on a suspect does sound scary now that you mention it. What bothered me most about that sketch, though, was the fact that Stan* told the crooks they'd get "ten days in the can for stealing the Golden AN". I didn't know much street slang at that age, so Stan's reference...

Thank you so much, Martin...you make me F-eel all warm and F-uzzy. :flirt: *offers you more hugs than the Count could total up in an hour* P.S. Keeping Cookie Monster in character for the whole script turned out to be harder than I thought it would at first. A guy with an educated vocabulary...

My sentiments exactly! Elmo's OK if he's treated like other major cast members, but not like the center of Sesame Street's universe. When the show was new, Sesame Street kept a balanced attitude towards popular characters: none of the major cast members (Muppet or human) became "THE star" five...

She's not as proud as she used to be: I remember her best as the no-nonsense director who used pageants to teach about a wide range of subjects (and got lots of other Muppets involved in the lesson, too). Unfortunately, Prairie Dawn's dramatic talent went to waste after Sesame Street changed...
