Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 35

[Dantecat]

What old skits were on Today's Episode?

 

[The Count]

Well, there was a medley of celebrity moments where we saw them singing the alphabet, all started off by and capped by Ray Charles singing the alphabet himself.
There was a new Bert and Ernie segment, where Bert sings the song "In My Book", a song that has been long used on SS but as an animated sketch/song.
And the banter between King Cookie and his Royal Helper was good. But was that rully Frank as Cookie Monster? There was a Global Grrover segment earlier where he tries to jump through a hoop, which very much sounded like Frank to me.
And Gabi was reading Ana Karinina by Leo Tolstoy, Tolstoy me not know... Tollhouse, now that's a cookie!

 

[The Count]

Watched Episode 4076 and there are a few good points about this one.
1 The character of Gary Gills in the street story, liked this guy cause he reminded me of the traveling salesman character that makes the grandstanding claims at the center of the midwestern town seen in other TV shows and/or movies or cartoons.
2 They showed the classic version of the Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree after JTE.
3 After the Number of the Day segment, there was a nice sketch with the Count setting up shop as a movie director. Leam Nielsen showed up and got the job in the Count's production of Transylvania 65000, where Liam counted to 20. And during the second run, the thunder and lightning effects triggered a rain storm.
"So it's raining now, so are we done?"
The Count: "No, now the movie's Counting in the Rain!"
That's 2, 2 movie spoofs in 1 sketch! Ah ha! I love it!
And I suspect Drtooth will too.

Yeah. I wonder about that too. How much is Frank still on Sesame Street these days. I did see the part with the King Cookie story. I thought that sounded like a David Rudman cookie monster. After all, doesn't Frank only perform Cookie Monster in the "Letter of the Day" segments these days? I don't know about "Global Grover." I thought Eric usually performs Grover in those.

By the way, I thought the King Cookie story would have been better if instead of Alan, Miles and Gabi, they would have incorporated some other Muppets. Maybe the count could have shown up and brought him bats to count or Bert could have shown up and brought him paper clips. Just a few thoughts.

 

[Daffyfan4ever]

Yes, it was great to see Grundgetta on Sesame again. Though that makes me think for a moment. Weren't we, the fans, calling for her return to the show when talking about Season 34 and possibilities for Season 35? You think they actually listened to us? Maybe we should ask for a return of Jerry Nelson's characters for Season 36.

Yeah, I saw the one with Grundgetta that was really good. About Jerry's characters, I don't know. He really doesn't do much work on the show as he used to because of his health. That's why we don't see the Count on the street too often anymore. I don't know if he'd want anybody else to perform his characters at this point, since he still performs when he can. After all, we did see his Humpty Dumpty recently, so there's a start.

Yeah, the episode was terrific! "Just loved it all to crazy!" Probably one of the few times I've actually liked Baby Bear. I thought the Gary Gills character was great. The spoof of The Music Man was wonderful, and seemed very much like it could turn into a classic Sesame Street segment.

And the appearance of The Honker Duckie Dinger Jamboree? Hehehehehe! Great!

Oh, and just a note, both Cookie Monster and Grover (in the letter of the day and Global Grover) were performed by Frank Oz in this episode.

 

[The Count]

So Letter of the Day: G Giant cookie and Global Grover: Alaskan Winter with the sleddog were both instances of Frank voicing his characters. Well, it's good to know that he still comes around from time to time.

Yup. Deffenitely.

It is nice Frank is able to do what he can.

 

[The Count]

Grrrr. Missed out on today's episode due to a short-lived shortage in my cable TV provider's services.
So, what happened? Were there any army jokes or connections drawn between SS and M*A*S*H*, seeing as how this was Episode 4077?
Well, hope to hear from you guys and have a good day.

I really liked the King Cookie story the other day. It was great to have Frank Oz doing so much performing!
