    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    Pity I used to dislike Abbey when I was a kid. Then I realized that was mainly due to being like Elmo's equal, which prevented a lot of character interactions, and the fact she overshadowed Zoe almost entirely Similar to Clash's Elmo, she's a riot out of the Street. Goes to show the Muppeteers...

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    Bear in mind Sesame defied children's psychologists initially by merging Muppet and humans in the same scene, with the results drastically making a better show. It led to character attachment and relations, and seeing some of the humans grow alongside the Muppets was neat Nowadays humans are...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Kinda surprised people liked "The Rhythm and Roots of Arthur" My main issue is Buster is already extremely used to Arthur's family. He even met the distant relatives several times, even in Postcards from Buster. And again, if he simply told Arthur how he actually felt, the issues would have been...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Oh that controversy is funny. He's said far more offensive jokes over the years, was the first to make a 9/11 joke, yet the Japan Tsunami joke is what gets him fired from Aflac. Still iffy, but meh As for Lloyd, kinda. His house burned down in the early 2000s. Doing any work is a life support...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Cyberchase S7 only did 7 episodes, then S8-10 only 5 episodes. Note a season lasts a year, and it only takes a week to make an episode. And then the 2 hiatuses (2010-2013, 2015-2017) Also the show stopped being about Math after S9, nowadays hyper pushed eco friendly promotion plots. It's like...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Hacker notoriously became soft after S6. Lloyd isn't that into the role much now And Digit lost his snark after S5. Gottfried's voice also is beyond strained now I really feel bad for both of them. They haven't had a good role in media since forever I also feel bad for the other regular VAs in...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    That said, PBS Kids as a whole has been slogging, so if the ratings are poor, it's understandable why

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I mean Cyberchase as well bizarrely is. I blame ratings keeping the corpse running

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Yeah, first 8 really were the prime for Arthur. Then post 11 and Buster's Spinoff it slogged along with character flanderizing, then the Flash trash I find it parallel to Cyberchase's decline, just taking longer. And legitimately I don't want more episodes from either unless something major...

    Little things we've noticed

    In older segments with Big Bird (I think pre mid 1990s), I noticed he typically preens himself like an actual bird in spare moments. Found that neat Also something I noticed become less common: his trademark snoring

    Official: Elmo’s Staying Up Late Show coming to HBO Max on May 27, 2020

    Thoughts on Nina

    PBS Kids has overall run down this path Cj, either long running or new shows now

    Video: Vanity Fair has Big Bird under a Lie Detector test...

    David is the best of the replacements honestly, followed by Eric for Grover. "The truth will set you free!" is great

    HBO Max to debut Sesame Street Seasons 51-55 and stream episodes from 50-year library

    Something I'd like to ask Joey is who he voiced in the Cyberchase pilot. Very few know he was involved before it was redubbed/edited in 2002. Unfortunately his Twitter is beyond DEAD

    HBO Max to debut Sesame Street Seasons 51-55 and stream episodes from 50-year library

    Kind of felt off after Abby and Murray were introduced for me. Though looking back, Elmo taking over wasn't that good either I'm really sad Steve and Frank weren't in the celebration overall though...

    HBO Max to debut Sesame Street Seasons 51-55 and stream episodes from 50-year library

    Ugh, I hate that fanbase mentality, especially in Sonic The term Classic first off is subjective, and relies on ones OWN past experiences with said media. Of course S22 can be considered a classic to many. Soon the mid 30s will be as well Modern is whatever is current, so if there's...

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    I'm going to assume the combination of Barkley being operated more like a full body puppet and especially the long fur is the main thing for why he won't come back

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    Anyone randomly thought of how current added establishments and Muppets after 2005 would have looked if they were made pre mid 90s? It'd be fascinating if we assess different styles over the years
