Well it's kinda early than I expected, but VEE has announced it's next Sesame Street Live show and...it's another repeat. Elmo Makes Music from 2006, which was originally Everyone Makes Music from 2001. Not to sound like the bad guy or anything but am I the only one TIRED of this storyline? Not to mention I was never really quite fond of this show to begin with.
Sure it had its fun moments (like Bert doing disco) but I always hold this show responsible for introducing that stupid TV screen that's smack dab in the middle of the stage. I REALLY dislike it, as I really miss the old-fashioned backdrops they would use for their earlier shows (1-2-3...Imagine! with Elmo & Friends should have used the OLD SET DESIGN!) I REALLY wish VEE would go back to doing things the old fashioned way, since nothing was really wrong with it to begin with. Plus, simple is better. And when seeing EMM back in 03', it seemed to be lacking what the earlier SSL shows were about...that sense of adventure and excitment. Like you felt you were actually going places with these characters.
Anyways, I know that VEE is doing all these repeats because of the economy and I completely understand, but...WHY THIS SHOW? A very good show that would have been fun to redo was Let's Be Friends. Heck, even Elmo's Coloring Book would have been a better choice. Plue, Elmo is the headliner for both so their would be no need to force him into the script more (I always considerd Everyone Makes Music to be Ernie's headline show). And EMM just finished touring not long ago (same with EHH) so this revamping was kind of quick, not to mention it's the THIRD TIME.
Excuse me for my long rant, but this really was just surprising to hear.
