Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 34

[Cheebo]

Where do you get the idea it will be cancelled? Carol Spinney said Season 33 & 34's ratings were 31% higher than they have been in years. SS is getting larger and better. Not even near being cancelled.

Exactly. They don't like the show the way it used to be, because that old format wasn't doing well anymore. They like it exactly the way it is now. I have mentioned this before.

But on Noggin, today, I saw a clip that I had not seen in years in a show from Season 31. Anyone remember "Zig Zag Dance?"

I might of seen it back then. Can you discrabe it for me?

 

[ssetta]

Did u know the Might Mighty Bosstones version appears on Elmopalooza?

 

[Erine81981]

Ok Yea. I remeber now. I forgot. I thought it was that one but couldn't tell. Yea I stated to download that one by the mighty bosstones but it didn't work.

 

[ssetta]

You don't need to bother. THey're never as good as the original. Wait until you hear that awful version of "Nearly Missed" by Rosie O'Donnell and Elmo.

 

[SillyRed]

It's not that bad

 

[Hays]

I like Rosie O'Donnel, but I have to agree with Ssetta on that one. The Elmopalooza video & CD could have been much better.

Why, oh, why, didn't they use the Aaron Neville "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon?" It's not that I don't like the version they used, just that the other one is better.

If you're into celebrities, I like the "Put Down the Duckie" video - of course, the celebrities are kinda old.

 

[ssetta]

It wasn't really songs that were done on the show. Well, they were old songs from the show done by celebrities. But those actual appearances weren't on the show. Also, if you listen to the Aaron Neville version of "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon," what they did was they took the original recording, and Aaron just sang with it. When Shawn Colvin did it, they re-recorded it. Actually, that song was done on the primere episode of this season. Bob, Rosita, and Telly sang it. It sure sounded like the original music track. And it was quite appropriate. It's beautiful, and it's just right for that song.
