Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

Here’s hoping they come to New England!

Same here!

Okay, so . . . at the risk of sounding like one of those ungrateful Sesame Brats, I found this a tad disappointing. The 1969 and 1970s portion were nice enough, but it felt like they blitz through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, overlooking a number of key events from these decades, such as Slimey to the Moon, or the Hooper's Store fire. The 2010s potion had a lot put into it though.

They blew the budget on having the TV frame change with each decade (which was a really nice touch btw -- it even changes multiple times each decade).

It should have been like The Street We Live On, but updated.

Wasn't that pretty much what it was?

Oh yes, that's right. Sorry.

The only thing that really bugs me is that they used the season 2 version of “Rubber Ducky” for the 1969 section.

Not expecting them to release the original 1969 version of Rubber Duckie soon.

Yeah, same.

Anyway, I’m more excited about the tour with Steve Whitmire, hopefully California is a choice.

I'd say it was more like an abridged version of TSWLO with a new section added for the 2010s.

Steve Whitmire just shared on Instagram that he, Caroll Spinney, Alan Muraoka, Roscoe Orman, Emilio Delgado, Bob McGrath, and Alison Barlett will be having a 50th anniversary tour this year.

I hope they'll be stopping by Knoxville again; it was such a thrill to get to meet them!

I am kind of surprised that Steve Whitmire is involved in this....I mean I thought he was fired from Sesame Workshop?
