Actually, I'm grateful that Oscar's personality seems to be one of the few things that didn't undergo a major transformation. Although, he should have had more lines.

That's your opinion, Drtooth. I honestly don't see where most of the old vintage Ernie and Bert sketches, song sequences, or other skits were really that dated. Besides, it's usually adults who worry about things being "too dated". Children just enjoy something. Again, your opinion. I...

In this case, not for the better.

I think that just about says it all.

Cool! Great to meet another Little Person collector. As for humans, one thing I've noticed is that these days, NO toy company seems to make toys with ANY of the current human cast. At least I haven't seen any that are sold. It seems like Sesame Street sets only have the muppets now.

True, and the fact that they saved them, implies that they had plans for them to possibly be seen again. I wonder if the current producers at Sesame Workshop have lost sight of this.

That they need to do it over and get it right this time?

I don't doubt that children are watching television at a younger age now. What I don't understand is why they felt Sesame Street had to target that particular age group when they do in fact already have shows like Teletubbies, Boobahhs Etc. for them. Older children need television shows too.

As far as I know, that only happened in one Ernie and Bert movie theatre sketch. Here's what happened in some others: Ernie can't see because a lady's enormous hat is in the way, after much aggravation towards Bert, he gets her to remove her hat, and put it on the seat right in front of...

Since Mr. Hooper and David were irreplaceable from the beginning, the issue of whether Alan could be replaced now really doesn't concern me much.

I would hope not. Unless they decide to do something horrendous like create a "New Mr. Rogers" show with a new "Mr. Rogers." They tried that with Captain Kangaroo a few years back and it was an atrocity. :eek:

I wonder why they changed to a younger audience anyway. I remember when PBS had the system just right. Mr. Rogers was for the very young children, Sesame Street could be for a little older ones, and The Electric Company was for children that were older still. The whole thing is somewhat...

Think about it.

One thing that most parents expect from their children is that they don't grow up to become a drug addict.

What Do You Miss The Most About "New" Sesame Street? More than anything, I miss Sesame Street.

Also, game show fans may be one of the few other television audiences who would have the same difficulty in finding reruns of their favorite shows in their prime. I'm not even sure if they saved every episode of old game shows. Game shows aren't my thing, but if anything from television still...

The lyrics he described are exactly the same as the one I was referring to. I just meant that it was like the "E" cartoon in the sense of its art, animation, and surrealism. I know it had a completely different pace and tune. We're talking about the same "O" skit.

Sesame Street actually did a show about Big Bird not being able to get the song "C Is For Cookie" out of his head.

It's one my all time favorites. It seemed to have the same art and animation as the one about "E" and "Eating an Easter Egg in the land of steam" (Remember that one? It's the appropriate time of year?) The "O" song had a much faster pace though.

Perhaps, but making sure a scene doesn't include a character that was supposedly "not yet born" is a no-brainer. The truth is that there were many delightful things that were truly "before Elmo was born", such as their trip to New Mexico, SAM the Robot, other humans and muppets that have come...
