Amen. The attitude on today's Sesame Street seems to waver between "dumbing down" and "kids are little adults"; you'd never see those approaches on an older episode. Whatever happened to respecting kids' intelligence and curiosity, and letting them have real childhoods? Why did Sesame...

Check your comments, Jonny... :)

Yes, that was the Season 6 premiere--the episode with the Count hanging around on Sesame Street, counting city lights as they went on in the morning and off at night. I have a lot of clips from #666 over on YouTube, if you want to see them. ;) To bring this back on topic: I'm sure that if...

That was actually Trianglebob Trianglepants...but, nitpicks aside, I do miss seeing Bob as his usual self on the Street. :concern:

I only caught the last half of today's episode (hopefully, the other PBS station will do a repeat on Monday as usual). Still, this one sounds promising; I'll add my own review when I can see the whole thing.

I dimly recall the day-care center being at 456 Sesame Street--which is odd for an address just around the corner; you'd expect it to be three blocks away. (Yes, I was grown up by then but still watched for nostalgia's sake...*blush*)

I just got ideas for the "topic channel" part of this fanfic, even if I don't have it in proper screenplay style: The announcer's tagline: "Welcome to the Hugging Channel...Let's just cuddle!" :flirt: The Hug Lady's appearance: Cozy flannel robe, teddy bear in her arms. The animated...

Wow, I didn't know the hug song was old; thanks for filling me in! Today's episode gave me an idea for finishing my "Elmo's World: Hugging" fanfic, though... :)

As regular episodes these would be a bit long, but they're well-written and carefully thought out; I could easily see them as a series of direct-to-video specials. Keep up the great work!

Oh...my...gods....a trip to the sty and that "Beat the Pig" blooper, those were priceless!

Love the way Abby used "Letter of the Day Games"-style tricks to count Bert's singing as an item...if that qualified, though, she actually found FOUR rhymes for "thing". ;-) The only parts I didn't like: Guy Smiley accidentally getting in trouble with the cops is a bit serious for Sesame...

Touché! It's hard to believe that Gina (who's got a steady clientele and adopted a foreign baby by flying abroad in person) can't afford a sitter. Single moms would never leave a kid Marco's age alone at home in real life, or bring them along to a potentially dangerous workplace. Maybe they...

H is for Hilarious...and High-Five too! Keep up the great work...

It's a shame that Sesame Workshop doesn't take ideas from outsiders; that suggestion would have improved the story a lot. At least two of the clips today were that old: I distinctly remember seeing "African Animal Alphabet" and the "I'm so happy" film (with the clapping girls) before anyone...

#4158 in a nutshell The good points: The street story was believable, if a bit dull; Gina's life as a single working mom is busy enough to make others feel left out. The Traction Jackson segment about jealousy was well done technically, and tied in beautifully with the street story. I'm...

How ironic...at 31 points I came out as my next-to-least favorite Muppet, Elmo. In real life, some of my close friends say I'm more like Bert: a serious, intellectual loner who has some bizarre interests but is still loyal and caring. Hmmm...

You've already beaten me to the most obvious answers (traffic/pedestrian signals and phones)--but what about the TV sets with dials? They'd be considered seriously out of date by viewers who cared about clips being too old.

I think this is the clip you're after: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Number_Three_Ball_Film

Recent Dinner Theater segments "Annie Get Your Gumbo": Although I wish they'd stuck to the original show's Wild West setting, I was glad to see a segment that discusses family dinners without getting preachy about it...and without using half of the song as a nutrition lesson. My rating: 7...

Three observations about #4144 Please forgive my lagging 10+ episodes behind, but I've been playing catch-up all over the Net after switching to a new service provider... Letter of the Day Game Show: I wonder how many kids noticed the JAR that Cookie's jellybeans came in...and thought "Man...
