Actually, Mr. Roger's philosophy was that kids never really change, which was why his show remained relatively the same throughout his lifetime. I think adults are the ones who change and they project it on to the children.

I think that banana in your ear is going through your brain. I guarantee you that it would be easier to get the existing episodes of any old television show through some circles than it is to get vintage Sesame Street episodes anywhere. Heck, even old shows that are considered racist such as...

Actually, if they took that theory to its logical conclusion, they'd have to stop calling it "Hooper's Store" and rename it "Alan's".

Somehow, I can't see many three year olds going to counseling for trauma over "Hooper's Store inconsistency." Sometimes we don't give children enough credit. In any case, all I want is to see all the reruns of Sesame Street the same as I see the reruns of any other favorite show. I don't...

I cried during the whole special.

Only the people at Sesame Workshop know the answer to that one.

I loved "Up and Down" with Cookie and Herry. Two versions were made. The first (the best) version of the early 70's had Cookie and Herry in their early forms, singing behind a wall and a blank background. At the end, Cookie reveals that he is looking up for his cookie because "a birdie...

There was a recent character added to Sesame Street in the late 90's or early 00's, named "Lulu" who was obsessed with singing, "Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round." However, the classic Lulu was Beautiful Day Monster in drag from the first season. (S)he danced around and a green AM sang...

Yes, that was a funny one, especially when Cookie asks Ernie, "Where heart?" If a doctor had to ask me where my heart was before he checked, I might get just a little concerned. LOL

Actually, it was a very old skit from the early 70's, when Sesame Street used real songs for their skits. However, the television skit involved Ernie and Cookie Monster. The album song, at least one of them, has The Count and Cookie singing it.

Frankly, I don't see where the current Sesame Street is that different from any other children's show today. The current writers and producers have done their best to make it a clone of the standard format for kids' shows today without any unique identity of its own. If they took Sesame Street...

Everything changes from old to new, but the old is not always thrown away or buried. I love classic sitcoms like "I Love Lucy", "Leave It To Beaver", and "The Honeymooners". Do I expect them to make sitcoms like that today? No. Do I expect to be able to see reruns of every episode of those...

I, for one, would not be particularly disappaned if Sesame Street went off the air tomorrow. The current shows mean absolutely nothing to me. I only care about how much nostalgia I can collect.

I have to disagree with that to a certain extent. The beauty of television, film, and videotape is that it allows actors to "live forever" to their audiences. Don't they still show Mr. Rogers episodes on television even though he died? Mr. Hooper, David, and all of the old characters could be...

David's absence was explained by saying that he went to live on his grandmother's farm.

I agree too. One reason that the 20th anniversary was so much better was because at that time, Sesame Street had not yet lost much of its essence. As I've said before, when Jim Henson died, it seemed like all bets were off and they just went crazy.

Cool. If you like Fisher Price Websites, check out this one: http://www.angelfire.com/ab2/ablpph/ Yeah, Gordon only had his goatee for the first season. It may have had something to do with the other role Roscoe Orman was playing at the same time, an abusive pimp on All My Children...

Maybe. The only trouble is, I'll have to wait until I'm 50 years old to see it. Is that what they mean by "Life begins at 50"?

Well, Roscoe Orman's Gordon originally had a goatee when he started on the show and that's what the Fisher Price Little Person was based on. Now, once again, the Little Person is an accurate representation. I'm so glad you brought that up. Are you a toy collector? I am and I particularly love...

I agree with you. I was trying to be a little positive about it, but it really did not have much to recommend it. One reason I'm not too upset is because I really didn't expect that much; I know how Sesame Workshop operates and if it would have truly been a real tribute to the old days, I would...
