Your Thoughts: Play With Me Sesame Season 2

[Soo!-per Grover]

Phillip, where did you hear there were only 17 episodes?

There are no concrete episodes of PWMS, they shuffle the segments around every day. Unless maybe things have changed this season. Hmmmm.

I think they need more episodes, but it's nice to know they still use old clips.

Can someone please get a sound file so we can hear this different Ernie? Please

I didn't see the show that aired today, but on yesterday's show, they had Grover's CLASSIC demonstration of Near and Far, and "Cookie's Poem" with Cookie and Howie. It was on the album "C Is For Cookie," but I had never before seen the segment, or Howie. I wouldn't of thought he was a rabbit, but on the record, I could hear a boinging sound, so Howie had to be something unusual.

Ernie's New Voice

The first thing that stood out in the promos for the new season was Ernie's voice. "Who IS that?" was all I could say. I hoped that it was just my imagination, but day after day the little ones watch the new episodes and no Steve Whitmire. He did an amazing job and is missed. When's he coming back? Sorry to complain about Ernie's current performer, but he just doesn't compare.

It's great to see new material. It's practically the same format, but we had the old ones memorized, it seems, from repetition. My 2 year old and 1 year old watch in amazement.

There was another one on today. It was that old song "I Love A March" by Bert. It was on a record, but I never knew it was ever on the show!

There was another one that was on last week with Kermit playing an imagination game in a park, and there were 2 other kids playing in the background.

Play with me - Ernie?

I can not stand the new Ernie voice!! The voice even makes the Play with me song sound off. I was worried when I saw the commercial before the season started. I taped some of the last season so we watch the old ones a lot. Any hope that the old voice will reappear? Also, does it look like Prairie Dawn got a face lift?!?

That's true. I mean, in the early 90s, when I first heard Steve Whitmire, I couldn't stand it. Same with David Rudman's Cookie Monster, and even Matt Vogel's Big Bird. Eric Jacobson does an okay job, but not as bad as David Rudman. He sounds more like Baby Bear with a sore throat.

I agree, alot of Muppets have new voices that drive me bonkers. Ernie sounds all, slow and retarted. Cookie Monster, does sound like Baby Bear with a sore throat. Grover sounds like Cookie Monster trying to imatate Elmo. Bert sounds like Kermit also trying to sound like Elmo. Big Bird sounds like a hobo.

Also, does it look like Prairie Dawn had a face lift?

Her new puppet is freaky looking. As anyone noticed that Ernie kinda looks different too? Particularly his left ear looks like someone put it in a permanent twist.
