I liked Season 37, and I also like Season 38. This season starts a new era in the show. I know we had... The "Old School" Era: Season 1 to 5 The "New Gordon" Era: Season 6 to 11 The "Neo-Old School" Era: Season 12 to 16 The "Changing" Era: Season 17 to 24 The "Around the Corner" Era...

At least Horatio Elephant's voice isn't as grating and annoying as it originally was when Joey Mazzarino took over. The elephant's voice was annoying and screechy enough to shatter glass in the "Princess and the Two Elephants" skit!

Exactly! She isn't overrated yet, in my opinion. I'm just a little nervous about SesameWorkshop's plan to put her in each episode, but so far it's mostly minor appearances. I'm cool with these minor appearances, though.

Abby Cadabby is neat, even though I admit she's starting to be over-exposed. At first I thought they were going to incorporate her into each street scene, but I'm glad to know it's mostly segments. But I still hope she doesn't become another Elmo!

Another "stereotype" skit I know was from maybe the 1970s or 1980s, where it has a modern-day Native American boy telling two kids playing a game of Cowboys and Indians that "Indians don't talk like that!"

I'm betting the Sesame Street News Flash with Jack and Jill is going to be on this set; since it was probably the first one to feature the standard version of the News Flash logo and Kermit wearing his gray hat (instead of the brown one), from 1974 (Season 6). But I DO know the Humpty Dumpty one...

As part of the grammar/reading thing, they could show the News Flash about the London Fog! I believe it's from 1988, unless this would offend British viewers :rolleyes:

It was nice to see a Kermit skit re-run this season, even though it had Steve Whitmire performing him. They also had a copyright notice to the Muppets Holding Company in the end credits, so maybe we might see a few more Kermit sketches this eason :) It's also nice to see Rosita and Prairie...

Yeah. When Big Bird's beak does not match up with his dialogue it most likely appears to be Matt Vogel in the puppet and Caroll Spinney providing the voice. But I think Caroll Spinney still performs Oscar exclusively. Also, I think Eric Jacobson would be a good performer to recast some of...

Whew, at least I saved the 1971 "Three Little Pigs" News Flash before it got deleted. Maybe because of the high quality of the master it was used, SesameWorkshop could either rerun it or give it a proper uncut DVD release!

It was nice to see Big Bird heavily involved with the street story. And I loved seeing "Imagine That" again! But I noticed something... is it just me, or is the Fix-It Shop being featured more than ever? It could be because it was temporarily the Mail-It Shop from 2002 to 2005.

OK, so tonight I went over to a baseball game at the nearby minor-league baseball stadium (the team is the Brockton Rox). As one of the themes for this night's Family Fun Night, it was MUPPET NIGHT! During intervals after an in-game promotion and before an inning (or half-inning) started...

This one I can understand you being scared of. It was most likely that Fat Blue spider. I heard a lot of people on this forum were unnerved by the Fat Blue spider in that skit or the one on the Miss Muffet play. But this one had an Animal-type voice that made him more threatening :p I can...

OK, OK, I'm sorry. I just wasn't too thrilled about when the show tried to be "cool" and "hip" during that era.

No, if it were 1997, we'd all be complaining about "Around the Corner" as much as we complain about the new post-2002 format. :p

I usually kind of sleep late here, since I am on summer vacation. Hence, I watch (and record) the 10 AM version. I don't go back to school (it's a community college) until September.

Where I live, the new episodes don't premiere until 10:00 AM (I live in the Boston, Massachusetts area and get PBS Channel 2). But it sounds like they finally did a Number of the Day that wasn't one of those 2002 organ clips; but at least they still had the Count (these 2006 Number of the Day...

The magic of Anything Muppets (or AMs for short) made Howie EatSwell look like the real Howie. He was made out of the Pumpkin Live Hand-type of AM.

The "school" lesson near the end (Professor Grover, "Elmo's World") had nothing to do with the rest of the episode. Since the street scenes had Telly playing with a toy train, they could've shown the "Elmo's World" segment about transportation. That had a short film with the boy and his mom...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY4AKbAV2aw This has probably been posted before, but am I the only one who noticed something about this skit? The car crashing sound near the end is the same one used on the "Leader of the Pack" by Shangri-Las!
