Cool! Thanks!

 

[The Count]

Uh... Is the SS Egypt character's name correctly written as "Nemnem"? Because from the SS website I got it from, it's actually "Nimnim".
Just trying to get this answered, since the thread's title threw me off a bit.

It seems that their Sesame Street is sorta starting out how our Sesame started. That's Good.

 

[mikebennidict]

What do you mean?

 

[gfarkwort]

Well they're doing for Rural children, what ours did for Inner City children.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

And all children have benefited form this show as well.

 

[Effralyo]

His name is actually Nimnim, but... no matter! It's awsome any way!

 

[SSLFan]

She doesn't know how lucky she is...
