Hurricane episodes to air September 12-16

[Daffyfan4ever]

I haven't seen today's ep yet, but the listings for my local station say it's the one where Elmo falls in love with Gina. I'm guessing that's what will air today where I live.

Hurricane is here in NYC

Channel 13 started the Hurricane episodes today. My wife, my daughter and I were watching it this morning before the little one had to rush off to school and my wife noticed how much younger Miles was, I mentioned to her how they first ran this series in 2001 to help children deal with 9/11 (they figured a big wind knocking down Big Bird's nest would be easier for children to deal with than a couple of bad guys flying planes into it or something). As I was watching it I also noticed that the younger Miles is not as comfortable talking to the Muppet characters as the teenaged Miles is.

Actually, the hurricane episodes aired in April or May of 2001 as a finale to the SS season at the time. The A&E documentary discussed how this series was planned ahead nearly a year in advance. This initial airing would be months before that horrific event.

Having said that, the following season did make a special episode indirectly referring to 9/11 about firefighters, with an ending caption in dedication to some fallen firefighters close to the Sesame Workshop people. Caroll Spinney may have touched upon that in his book, but I'm not sure.

Actually, I did get a hurricane episode today. You can disregard my last post.

i just saw both espods of the hurican and i have to say this is the SS i rembered.the last one i cried when Bib bird saw his nest was destoryed i really felt sorry for him and was teary eyed. I really wish SS whould get back to the basic from and great storys that we all can relate to i even thought Elmos part in it was good and thats rare for me to even say that. i think they all worked hard on that one show it was really good and puts it out there that bad things do happen but friends can help. very pleased with it

I was wondering if anyone who is watching these shows could tell me what classic clips are in them. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I couldn't believe it today. My kids and I were just sitting down to watch the first "Hurricane" episode, and what comes on? A re-run of Baby Bear getting hit in the nose with a ball! And the station contents list even had the "Hurricane" episode down as what they were going to show! Needless to say I was a little ticked off! I e-mailed the head of the local station to get an explanation, but still have yet to hear anything back. Did anyone else have this "inconvenience" today?

Do they air Sesame Street at different times during the day on your station? If they do, they are usually different episodes. Check it out.

I forgot to mention, I liked the reference Big Bird made to Mr. Hooper when asking if Gordon packed the picture he drew. Incidentally I think Bird got the name right finally.

Also, I wonder why Linda wasn't in the first episode with all the other humans but appeared later when building the nest.
