    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    That Elmo the musical was weird! Not quite Gainax ending, but the whole revelation about it being a box of tissues. Wow. I guess that's what happens when you do detective stories for preschoolers. That ham actor bit was priceless, though. Tyler sold that character. He's a big ol ham...

    'Downton Abbey' gets the 'Sesame Street' treatment

    I just realized. They blew a humongous opportunity to make this a Monsterpiece Theater skit, considering what show Downton Abbey airs on.

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    I totally realized that something very good comes out of this day and it conditioned me not to hate it. It's about that time of year where Charlie Brown likes a pencil with a fiiiiiine point.

    Bits you'd like to see re-done for today's show

    I'd agree... but then again consider this. Sketches were redone as early as the second season. Specifically Rubber Duckie and I Love Trash. Then of course there were those redone in the 80's (Big Bird's ABCDEFG song and I Love Trash again), and some in the 90's ( C is for Cookie and Rubber...

    Help Sesame Street get 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    A Billion? How is that even possible? I mean really that's like 1/5th of the world's population.. I.. (looks at page view number) Oka-a-a-a-a-a-a-y... uh... so, like 22 million more views? Doesn't sound too bad.

    Bits you'd like to see re-done for today's show

    People raise their kids differently. Redoing skits to fit the consistency of show proper shouldn't sound like someone's paving over memories, since those memories are still being distributed by SW. I actually find the switch from widescreen to full frame when they do relatively older bits...

    Another Movie remake of the Grinch... really?

    If you can tolerate Jim Carrey, you can tolerate the movie. I did like him when I first saw the film, so I was able to dig it. ABC and ABC family just about force it to be an annual tradition. Let's face it, there are so few good Christmas movies out there. Those both sound like something...

    Any Bronies on here?

    The Smurfs was a big budget remake, and a lucky one at that. Current films with the same cast and writers that pop out when the show is still on the air are rare in this country. And hits are even rarer. And the real successful ones, minus the Rugrats, were adult cartoons that were free of...

    Any Bronies on here?

    I swear, there was a post season Christmas Clearance years back where Target and Kohls had literally truckloads of LPS stuff just sitting there, even at deep 75% off clearance. It's frankly embarrassing. It's like... remember that show "Till Death" that no one liked, yet Fox kept renewing it...

    Any Bronies on here?

    It probably already has. Well, well, well before. And as we all know, every single fan artist ever (except me.. HA HA!) has done tedious humanized versions of anthro characters. But even if it's a series, I doubt anything's going to come out of it. After all, it's not Littlest Pet Shop...

    Piggy's worst performance?

    Richard's Piggy sounds far more like Gladys the cow.

    Modern Classics

    The one thing that endangers a newer skit becoming a classic is when the references become dated. I love skits like Meal or No Meal and Pre-School Musical. But the shows they've been based off of have disappeared as mysteriously as they started. Disney no longer fawns over it's Tweeny Bopper...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Grover's popularity came back on a wave of nostalgic interest in the series and recasting the character. We're seeing a lot more of certain characters due to recasting. And the funny thing is, when you look at Sesame Street merchandise, it's all Elmo and Cookie Monster. So he's getting a huge...

    Twice Upon a Time

    The sad thing is, DVD's have the data to have multiple versions of a movie. There is compromise there, but again... stubbornness. And that's effectively erasing this movie from history.

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    That one's the worst. The music really doesn't need creepy visuals when it goes into the haunted house. It makes the music more ominous and the setting more ominous because of the music being more ominous due to the setting. And I'm no clowns are creepy guy, but that clown was creepy. But...

    When you need to rant...

    I could make all the jokes in the world, but in reality I'm a deeply depressed and angry person. And it's all because of terrible interactions in various school stages. Crappy teachers, nasty jerk students... And now I hear how every student is accepted and validated and bullying is actually...
