THIS is the real description for The Count episode. Sorry for everyone who misunderstood the previous description.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who spotted PRAIRIE DAWN in the background!
WIN!

I doubt she'll actually say or do anything, but it's great they put her in there of all characters.

I think it is, if you're talking about the description for episode 4411, which includes a picture of Sesame cast members clad in Count costumes.

yeah, it was an error on the web, now they put the right episode description!!!

Luis looks like a dead ringer for a human version of The Count.

This episodes' gonna be epic.

(oh, and I wasn't surprised the actual press release got it wrong... see complain about the loose definition of "spoof" above).

Also, in case anyone was wondering who has assumed the role of Puppet Captain, it is now Matt Vogel.

OH! They're remaking older episodes then. Something they should consider more. And, frankly, from a LOT earlier than season 33.

I've read the description of the upcoming episode and it's not even a remake of that; it's a lesson about parental pressure. No, really.

 

[Drtooth]

It isn't?

Still... if they're strapped for episode ideas, remaking older episodes with newer characters doesn't seem like a terrible idea. I mean, we will know, but the kids who watch the show won't. It's exactly what they do for Doraemon.

Wow, this season not only looks promising, but it's bound to be quite awesome. I'm really looking forward to it! Pretty much every street story sounds worth watching, and I really can't wait to see them. It also looks like The Count will be making an appearance in the Word of the Day segment about imagination, Bert will be appearing in the segments about fabulous and unique, and Ernie will be appearing in the segment about unique. Seriously, name one time that these 3 have ever appeared in ANY of the Word of the Day segments! But the one I'm really looking forward to, is the robot segment, because it features Kunal Nayaar (aka Raj from The Big Bang Theory- one of my all-time favorite non Henson related shows), and Grover (who doesn't love his roles in these segments?)!

As usual, I hope we eventually get some info on the Jerry tribute.
