I got a chance to see one I missed, so now it's time for: D'Snowth's LATE Sesame Reviews!
Sesame Street Episode 4112:
Street Scene: Gordon, Susan, Maria, Luis, and Bob gather in the arbor with Miles and Gabi for a group shot for Miles and Gabi's graduation, while Alan and Gina take a couple of pictures. Elmo pops over wanting to know what's going on; while Alan and the other grown-ups go over to Hooper's to get the food ready for the party, Miles and Gabi explain to Elmo that they are both finished with high school, and are going to graduate. Elmo gets excited and wants to know what life would be like if he goes to school, so Miles and Gabi share flashbacks with him about their first day of kindergarten, and how much fun they had with large buckets of building blocks and giant boxes of crayons. As Gordon tries to hurry things along, Miles and Gabi share with Elmo how their teacher Miss Walsh gets everyone in the spirit with a good round of the alphabet song. Luis reminds them it's almost time to go, but Gabi first has to share with Elmo a story about how shy Miles was in class until Miss Walsh began to share with the class young Miles's drawing of a basketball in outer space-space-space-space-space. Susan tries to hurry the kids up, but Miles must share with Elmo about the time he and Gabi had a real big fight over a cool toy fire engine, until Miss Walsh gives them a musical lesson about sharing and taking turns. Maria then takes the kids away for the ceremony, and later that evening, everyone gathers in the arbor for a big graduation party in honor of Miles, Gabi, and eventually a group of graduating penguins.
Cultural Refence:
* As the group of penguins march by, Bob calls it "the graduation march of the penguins", which could very well be in reference to the documentary movie March of the Penguins.
Classic Bits:
* "I'm Off to School" musical bit.
* It's Hard to be 15.
Long Time, No Sees:
* P is for Pea
* Gotta Special on the Menu with the Letter P
* Things That I Remember
New Bits:
* A holdover from last season as Oscar has to sing "The Work-Out Song" for Slimey and his friends at the worm gym.
* Elmo and Ben pretend to eat a tunafish sandwich, apple sauce, an apple, and a pear.
Overall Rating: Well, I enjoyed the street scene... I think it would've been better if like maybe it was Big Bird who Miles and Gabi shared flashbacks with; and I was hoping we might actually get to see the actual graduation ceremony, but I guess I sort of saw that coming. Nice assortment of old a new bits, including one of my favorites "It's Hard to be 15". So, I give today's repeat of a new episode I haven't seen until now: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.5 stars, ah-ah-ah!
