Yeah, they should be more like the old days. The Muppet Show never had contemporary stars like Elton John or Loretta Switt. And it certainly never did contemporary music like the Village People. I don't understand your point. We don't know if there's a laugh track or not. And how is the...

Yeah, I think you've been punk'd.

"Landmark 50th season" might be the weakest they've done. Last season felt weak because they were doing the whole "plan the play" thing and nothing came off as a "story." Now they had the oppertunity for stories and they were mainly lousy. And don't get me started on the lack of Ernie, Bert...

30 Rock ended seven years ago; it isn't that big a difference.

Well, Gilligan's Island got a reunion movie just over a decade after the series ended.

Six half-hours, it appears.

Pam said in an interview that the only thing they didn't get to shoot were the new Foodie Truck bits, and presumably they were looking at early fall to shoot again. Who knows whether that may happen or not, but everything else for the season is apparently shot.

She'll at least be around next season, I think. I do look forward to seeing another kid actor grow up on the show, though.

I mean, what can really be said about them? They make puppets. They look pretty good. Gonzo hasn't looked right in over a decade, but whatever. Fozzie doesn't look too well either, but as I'm sure you're heard, they just don't make the material he used to be made out of and they did the best...

I was referring to MWOZ, where he only did the voice work for Sal.

Brian was only there in a vocal capacity, and those other two were just voice rolls too.

I think we all thought Ricky's Scooter was great when we first heard it and there were no other options. Frankly, I've gotten so used to David's Scooter that Ricky's doesn't sound right to me any more.

I don't quite see Mumford or any of those older characters coming back in any big way, sadly. The focus now seems to be younger characters the viewers can relate to vs. funny adult characters.

Off the top of my head, I know he was in the season premiere and the Disappoint-o-Meter ones.

Nothing on Sesame Street is permanent. The changes we have now are only 4 years old at this point. Four years down the line, we might see something different. I wish they'd only do one long-form bit in each episode. One of my big complaints is that characters have lost their niche in the show...

I would say that part of the changes were made so the central characters would each have a recognizable "home base" (i.e. Abby in the garden, Elmo's room, etc.). So they want kids to remember these places and then switching to older footage might been a little confusing.

Another mess of a story. At least it was nice to see Telly and Baby Bear in the chorus; they've been much more AWOL this season than the last few.

I don't know, but seeing how a segment might be in one episode, but edited out of another, I can't think of any explanation that makes sense.

Some edits I wager are to fit in the credits they've tacked onto every episode to ensure they stay under an hour.

It's just the second episode (with Ray Charles) and it appears to be full episodes.
