I’m at a point where it’s a little hard to find ten favorite segments from each season (I could just go through every episode page at that point and see what doesn’t have a first or eka noted), so I’ll combine some seasons.

1. Grover and Elmo -telegram trainee
2. N*Sync - Believe in Yourself
3. Elmo’s World: Drawing
4. Goo Goo Dolls - Slide
5. Squirrel Nut Zippers - Put a Lid on It
6.Keb Mo - Ev’eybody Be Yo’Self
7. Ernie and Bert - Banana Phone
8. Grover and Prairie Dawn - 15 seconds to say an S word (which I previously thought was from season 28, maybe I should correct that list)
9. Bert and Ernie - magnet
10. Elmo’s World: Families

Top ten segments from seasons 33 and 34:
1. Elmo’s World: Firefighters
2. The Letter of the Day: C
3. The Spanish Word of the Day: Si and No
4. The Number of the Day: 0
5. Ray Ramano - Frustrated
6. The Spanish Word of the Day: Casa
7. Global Grover: Mexico puppets
8.Global Grover: baths around the world
9. Bert and Ernie -Count to 100 by 10
10. The Spanish Word of the Day: Feliz

And now, to top it all off, here’s my top ten segments from seasons 47-51 (I wanted to break it down into shorter combined season lists but had trouble filling the lists that way).
1. Tori Kelly - Try a little Kindness
2. Josh Groban - Hey Friend
3. Sia - Song About Songs
4. Alessa Cara - So Much Alike
5. Keegan Michael Key - N is for Newspaper
6. Thomas Rhett - This is My Street
7. Rubber Duckie with celebrities
8. Celebrities count to 50 by 10
9. Misty Copeland and Elmo stretch
10. Maggie Rogers - It’s Nighttime

This was fun, even if I am a bit disappointed that I combed most of the 2010s seasons and had the last five combined into one list as opposed to two.

So what are your favorites per season?

Well, since you asked, you shall receive. I think I’ll start with the season’s I watched as a kid (30 and beyond), since I know them best, and eventually list my favorite segments from the others.
30 - Furry Happy Monsters
31 - Goo Goo Dolls “Pride”
32 - Everybody Be Yo’Self
33 - Measure of the Letters - X
34 - ABC Hip Hop
35 - Don’t Know Y
36 - 3 is My Favorite Number (remake)
37 - John Legend And Hoots “It Feels Good When You Sing a Song”
38 - A’s Anatomy
39 - 1234
40 - Outdoors
41 - I Love My Hair
42 - Spider Monster: The Musical
43 - Artist Paints a Zebra on his Hand
44 - I Love My Hair (Spanish version)
45 - Star S’Mores
46 - Orange is the New Snack
47 - Try a Little Kindness
48 - A Girl Counts 6 of Things on her 6th Birthday
49 - Newspapers with Keegan Michael Key
50 - This is My Street
I’d say it’s a bit too early to judge for season 51, but so far, it’s Maggie Rogers’ “It’s Nighttime”.
