SST News: Red Riding Hood vs. MT: Red Riding Cookie

[minor muppetz]

Which of the two "Cookie Monster as Little Red Riding Hood" segments do you like better: The Sesame Street News segment or the Monsterpiece Theater segment?

Here's the Sesame Street News segment: http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_p...dd-8ea8-a3d2ac25b65b/kermit_news_goody_basket

And here's the Monsterpiece Theater segment: http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_p...1553-11dd-8ea8-a3d2ac25b65b/red_riding_cookie

I like the Sesame Street News sketch better. It's more classic, and I remember this one being broadcast quite frequently. It's funny that Cookie Monster wants to give his sick grandmother cookies instead of healthy food, and when Kermit informs him that sick people don't want cookies (though I wouldn;t mind having cookies if I was sick )Cookie gets an excuse to eat the cookies. And the ending is very funny, with the doctor just happening to be a wolf.

It's also interesting how in both segments Cookie Monster intends on giving his grandma cookies. In the Monsterpiece Theater segment, he doesn't realise he eats all of the cookies until it's time to give them to her... At first I mistakenly thought Cookie asking grandma "What big eyes/ears/mouth" you have were just him stalling and kiling time before she found out he ate all cookies.

I think the Sesame Street News Flash segment is more memorable to me- but the Monsterpiece Theatre sketch is great too. Okay- actually, I love all of the sketches in both of those series.
