This is bizarre; I actually watched the clips Pig's posted, and it must've been the first time in over 10 years I've watched Sesame Street. I find it interesting how the show seems to function like a sitcom but without the laugh track or trying to be funny... I guess that's what happened when they moved to HBO?
I like how there's a wide variety of Muppets in the street scenes and they let them just interact with each other; I feel like that was a rarity back in the day, as the street was more so dominated by humans and just featured one or two Muppets.
David is such a good Cookie it's disgusting, and the puppet looks better than ever. And some of that was actually genuinely pretty funny... I'm impressed.
I find it fascinating that they went out of their way to teach kids about the dying medium that is the newspaper.
Alan and Bert should start a Two and a Half Men spinoff.
