I can only see this Wedsday and Friday due to my late class scheduals.
You know, a lot of SS fans hate Elmo, but I gotta admit, I'm really startin' to like the guy. I do not like kids, ironically, but he's a great role model for the youngest of the young (ecept for talking in the third person).
That said, I feel Elmo outside of Sesame Street is ALWAYS great to see. Kevin is not bound by scripts nor the whole scene of Sesame Street, so he always does great improvising and experiments with the character, making him much more adorable outside of SS than inside. I feel the same about Bear.... with all Muppets, Improvised bits are better than their regular ones.
