Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
It's not lip-synced to the original recording; it was probably Loretta Long or someone else. They did covers during season 1, but I can't think of any instance where they actually licensed a specific track instead of just the rights to use the song.
If I did, I wouldn't waste it on something...
No, they did a Mowtown number about holding onto a dog leash.
Another "okay, I guess" thing. Snuffy was nice to see, as usual. And I guess the "ha-ha mythology gag" of Barkley being on Grover's outfit. I wonder what condition that puppet is in. And a pop culture reference? I miss those.
I'm willing to forgive some slight continuity errors for the sake of a gag over the way they do things now, which is virtually no continuity at all (which, I get why, but still).
Here's the thing about the loads and loads of characters: they do not need them any more. Back in the day, 130 hours was a lot to do and the more popular characters were done by people who wouldn't around very often. That's where the likes of Dr. Nobel Price, Chicago the Lion, Betty Lou, etc...

Um, PWMS was an innocuous little show on a preschool cable channel. It had no lofty goals like the regular Sesame. It strove to be nothing more than a half-hour of engaging content, that's it. It didn't "fail" because it only had three seasons. It was barely a thing to even think to consider a...
I get that they're not really into the literacy thing these days and focus more on behavioral/emotional things, but I really dislike them shuffling all these different letter bits within an episode. Street story's about the letter X, the letter of the day is A, and then the Crumby Pictures thing...
