Great stuff, man great stuff!

Keep 'em coming..

 

[mikealan]

Well,...I don't think that Roosevelt Franklin, Harvey Kneeslapper, Forgetful Jones, Guy Smiley, Placido Flamingo, Gladys the Cow and Don Music appear on the new Sesame Street...I think they might me gone forever.

 

[punkNpuppets]

what i'm saying is that they SHOULD

 

[punkNpuppets]

besides, don't you guys want sesame street to return to it's original format? maybe Sesame Workshop won't accept this script but it's worth a try! if they don't, we're gonna do something about it!

They say us older people can't do that and that it's all about what the KIDS want! really. that's funny, a little 3 year old told Joan Ganz Cooney "You should have a half hour segment all about Elmo with an animated background and a segment where I have to find out which box Ernie's hiding in. It will teach me about patterns!" a 3 year old said that? I DON'T THINK SO!!! I'm not GIVING UP!!! I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!! so WHO'S WITH ME???

I'm With You All The Way!!

I know that I've mostly seen the episodes of the late '80s and early '90s, but I also think they were FUNNIER back then. Besides, I know who Don Music, Harvey Kneeslapper, Placido Flamingo, Gladys the Cow, etc. are and have seen them all in various episodes. What the blazes has happened to "Monsterpiece Theater", the rock and roll parodies, the game show parodies, and every other thing that made Sesame Street so unique compared to other kid's shows of its time (besides Mr. Rogers, Reading Rainbow, Square One, Bill Nye the Science Guy, etc. all of which are almost as good, if not as good?) Those were good ! Besides, they were much better than SS's current state of recurring segments, such as "Journey to Ernie" and (yecch!) "Elmo's World" . PunkNPuppets, I'm with you all the way on this!
