Sesame Street Seasons 30-34

The Segment entitled "Island of Emotion" aired A LOT during Season 32 (2001).

Here's the infamous X-Files parody episode that was pulled from airing because it was too scary:

I didn't know it was pulled, because it seems like I recall seeing it a few times. And funnily enough, I didn't think it was scary at all, but I guess I can see why it might be unsettling for some.

This is a really good episode in my opinion. Getting haircuts are a common fear children deal with, and Sesame Street executed it with Baby Bear pretty well here. Plus, I love Telly and Baby Bear's friendly banter at the beginning, and Doug E. Doug appears doing a nice performance as the barber.

I remember this episode rather vividly, from both Season 30 and 32, and yes, I agree, I liked Doug E. Doug's appearance as Papa Bear's barber.

And wasn't it amusing that Doug's barbershop just happens to have a great big chair, a medium-sized chair, and a wee little chair?

There was actually a very similar episode in season 22 about Telly. I was actually half-expecting the barber in this episode to sing the same song as the barber in the Telly episode.

Not as much of a memorable episode from the season in my opinion, but Barkley got some appreciation right at the end of it:

I kind of vaguely remember this one.

I'm pretty sure it was pulled. At least, that's what Alan Muraoka said.

And funnily enough, I didn't think it was scary at all, but I guess I can see why it might be unsettling for some.

Also, bare in mind, you were about twice the age of the target audience when this first aired.

I sure do miss Barkley. I still kind of wish they used him in season 46 instead of Big Bird getting that new dog Simon (I think that's his name). Barkley always had such a big personality compared to some other pet characters you see on TV.
I miss the days when the show was basically allowed to use whatever characters they wanted, as often as they wanted. It must've been very freeing as a writer.

True. Can't argue with that one. When I was the age of the target audience, I remember Twin Beaks unnerved me with those menacing-sounding music cues. Anything with Placido Flamingo wasn't easy to swallow either, such as the Up and Down Opera.
