As for what I'd like in terms of changes made for Season 36...
1 Drop Globalinki, the segment makes no sense to me. I think they're just leftover claymation shorts left over from Eureeka's Castle.
2 Drop Matlenka too. This could be its own series developed apart from Sesame.
3 Bring back Jerry Nelson's characters into the fold on some of the street stories, similar to what's been happening with Cookie and Grover.
4 Have Elmo's World get rid of the "Ask a Baby" segment. Those bits are dumb, what are you going to ask a baby about? It's a baby! Get rid of that part and the segments would be better.
5 Have Elmo's World get rid of the requisit "Goodbye" songs. Then again, can it rully be called a song if it's just repeating the same word many times? Would be better if they just passed from the end of the guest's appearance to the end Elmo's World theme, and then went straight to the overall SS episode ending.
6 Blend in some new/more sketches/songs/stories about the letters and numbers of the day. Guess that's why I enjoyed the song with Nora Jones more than I thought I did.
Well, these are just some suggestions, hope this helps and have a good day.

I highly agree with you Count.
-I like Elmo's World,to a degree(let's ask...,except for a baby).Like you said,it makes no sense,because the baby has no answer,just only to react to Elmo.The computer saying,'You Got Mail',repeatively is annoying to me(maybe they should try changing the voice).I like the Noodle segments,as well as the clips are a good touch.Maybe they can change the theme to Elmo's World too,would be a nice change.And the 'good-bye' ending is annoying too,the same words.
-I'd honestly like to see new characters & a lot of the old ones that can still be used.
-I'd like to see old clips,cartoon,shorts(Raposo songs). Same with bringing some of the old number & letter songs & skits.
-I'd like to see Muppet News Flash again.They can be brought up to date.
-I'd like to see more sing-a-longs in the neighborhood too.
-I'd like to see more segments & sketches about topics that SS used to cover,like: cooperation,sharing.
-No offense,but change the organ segment with The Count.I know this is new,but to me it got old fast.I miss other characters saying the number(as well as the letter of the day,now its just Cookie doing it with the letter on a cookie).I love Cookie & The Count,but.. both segments need a refresher.
-I'd like to see more guest stars too.
-I miss the park segments.
-I totally miss watching the kids play around Sesame Street.
