Sesame Street Season 42 News

Lookie who's making a return appearance in the "R Mystery" episode!

 

[Dantecat]

Whoa,It's Mumford which is great he's still on the show time to time.

 

[Drtooth]

Unfortunately he says nothing in the preview.

Still, not questioning Mumford's first appearance on the show in years... but of all the long unused Jerry Nelson clumsy characters, they sure picked a heck of a one to be in an episode about detectives....

 

[Oscarfan]

Who knows? Maybe he will, make a cameo. It could be another Jerry Nelson-o-rama like the X-Ray show a couple of years ago.

YES! YES! I've been waiting to see this since Abby's introduction to the show! This will most certainly be interesting, to say the least.

Some street scene news:

I had the pleasure of sitting in on an episode filming to visit my friend Caroll Spinney. It was towards the end of their shooting season back in May so my money would be it will be apart of season 43, but still its an awesome episode. Big Bird and Snuffy are contestants on the Letter of the Day Game Show where they have to put together clues to find the letter. HIGHLIGHT: This episode also includes Leela dressed as a dinosaur. Fun!

Caroll has also told me of some new GREAT SOUNDING episodes featuring the Bird, which is so refreshing to hear.
*One involves BB recieveing a new pair of pajamas from his Granny Bird and they are "the most comfy pajamas in the world." Yet he still cant fall asleep because he is not comfortable. He requires the help of Gordon and SUSAN (yep. Susan's in at least 2 episodes this year) to find out whats making him have trouble falling asleep. (I dont know the resolution. Caroll wouldnt even spoil the ending for me haha)
*Another 2 episodes involves the Bird with some celebrities, but I feel that should remain a secret! I dont want to get in trouble for too many spoilers!
*A great episode with Caroll's performance "Emmy-worthy" (according to Carol-Lynn Parente) is when Big Bird is bullied by another group of birds. Big Bird is so naive that he is not aware that being pressured to conform to other's standards is bullying. He relies on the help of Abby to help him change into what they want, including smaller feet, etc. But, even when he does so, they still do not accept him. He eventually gets consoled by Gordon, I believe.
*Big Bird greets Hansel and Gretel on Sesame Street, but they insist to leave a trail of breadcrumbs leading back to the subway to get back home.

This shows that even if the Bird is not in excessive amounts of shows this season, the episodes he is in are very special.

I think Sesame Workshop understands how special Big Bird is to the show as much as Elmo or Abby. Carol-Lynn Parente mentioned in an interview how he is still a major icon of the show even with other characters. Caroll Spinney himself has said how important it is to make room for other people, especially on Sesame Street. That to me is the big picture. I can honestly say that you are very fortunate to have become special friends with Caroll. Marty Robinson and I have kept together too.
