What do you like and dislike about modern Sesame Street? What would you do to make the show better? Where do you predict the show will be ten years from now?

Here's an old street skit with Ernie, Bert, and Maria that I haven't heard anyone mention here. Ernie and Bert were arguing over something and it got really heated. Ernie said that he was so mad that he was going to go out west and become a cowboy. Bert said that he was going to move to the...

I notice that currently I am unable to receive the pictures on this site and every click is interrupted by a "security warning" asking if I want a Macromedia Flashplayer. The problem could be with my own computer except that it's not happening on the other sites I visit. Any info? Thanks...

Remember the old 45 records that had the main song on "side A" and a not-as-popular song on "side B"? Well, if 45's still existed, which modern songs do you think would have made the Side B of the 45 records? Well, I thought it was an interesting topic, anyway. :)

Has everyone seen or taken the multiple choice test on the Sesame Street Trivia page on this site? It's great, but there is at least one item that could be classified as a "bad question". When they asked what happened in Kermit's Newsflash when Prince Charming kissed Sleeping Beauty, two of...

There was an old story from a Sesame Street magazine in the 70's involving Grover and Bert. I can't say for sure that it was never on the show, but I tend to think this was just written for the magazine. The story is about Grover, outside his apartment, working on a garden that he has...

Does anyone else remember two bizarre Sesame skits shot on film about "yes" and "no" that involved an outside scene with a lady and a gorilla (person in costume). The one about "no" was particularly strange and ended with the lady dragging the gorilla along the street while he yelled (in a...

It's generally known that David and Maria were an item on the show until Luis and Maria fell in love during the late 80's. Yet, sometimes there seemed to be subtle hints that the writers may have been toying with that idea all along. Maria worked for Luis and eventually became his partner in...

Here are some thoughts about the Sing Along tape (which of course, was taken from an actual television show). Did you notice that throughout the whole thing, poor David kept trying to suggest a song, but no one would listen to him? You'd think Maria might have been tempted to show Biff...

You know, I love the song "Clink, Clank" sung by Bert, but there's one line that I don't understand. The song is about Bert playing music with a can, spoon, whistle, pan, and marbles. So why does he say "It was just the water pipe when the faucet got turned on, But it lightened up my life like...

Everyone knows that underneath all of his grouchiness, Oscar has a heart of gold, but did you ever think there was a time when he took his grouchiness too far? One time I think he went too far was when Miles was first adopted and he slammed the door to make him cry and laughed about it. That...

Did you ever notice that in the famous skit where Bert has to wait outside while Ernie prepares a surprise party for him, there was no mention of a "birthday" or any other occasion. It kind of looked like a birthday party, but all Ernie said was a "surprise party." Maybe it was just for...

Even though street scenes on Sesame are usually considered to be sacred and unable to be aired after one or two runs, I have actually seen some street segments that were occasionally repeated several seasons down the line. One of them is a street scene where David gets Big Bird and the kids...

During the 80's, after the profound episode of Mr. Hooper's death, they were not afraid to make small references to his death, in subsequent episodes of the 80's, with memories from Big Bird. Yet, in the 35th anniversary special, they showed a brief scene of Mr. Hooper, but nothing about...

Has anyone seen the new Cookie Monster toy that you shake to make him say something? The strange thing about it is that he looks more like a Twiddlebug than Cookie Monster. It's something about the way it's designed. They have one with Elmo too, but he does not look as much like a Twiddlebug...

Although most people know Sonny Friendly as the smiling purplish muppet of the 80's, the name originally belonged to the muppet called Guy Smiley. In very early Sesame Street skits, the same muppet used for Guy Smiley would also be introduced as Sonny Friendly. I had almost given up talking...

I saw part of that current Sesame Street episode where Snuffy becomes invisible from a magical ukulele. While Big Bird's song to Snuffy was rather heartwarming, it seems like they threw away a lot of potential humor and story. In the past, something like that would have been caused by The...

I've recently gotten rid of cable TV, so in the mornings, I glance at current Sesame Street shows at breakfast. Most of my negative suspicions about modern Sesame Street seem to be well founded. Even the Ernie and Bert skits aren't that entertaining anymore. Today I saw one where Ernie...

I saw a little bit of a current Sesame Street episode today and it seemed pretty bad to me. Particularly disturbing was the fact that I did not see the drawing of Mr. Hooper by Big Bird's nest anymore. Do they even call it Hooper's store any longer? I'll stick with the classic years, hard as...

The "Sesame Street Unpaved" book says that the Count and Mumford share the same head. But, do they really? At the wedding of Luis and Maria, the Count and Mumford are both seen at the same time on opposite ends of the aisle. It didn't look like trick photography either. I really don't...
