Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 36

[Ilikemuppets]

I think it was Kevin who sang I believe in litlt things. The first song Cookie was La-ing was "C is for cookie".
________
"L is such a lovely letter, to la la la la la, with me".

I don't get it. That would mean that all the recent garba... I mean letter number inserts are incompany things?

Yes. Here is the answer to the FAQ:

Can I submit a show idea or a song?
We do not accept unsolicited materials or suggestions for songs or show scripts. Sesame Street has a team of writers who create shows specifically based on a curriculum prepared by preschool educational experts. The lyrics of Sesame Street songs are also written by the scriptwriters and are then set to music by our songwriting staff. These lyrics are script- and curriculum-oriented and, as such, are a contiguous part of the script plot lines.

awww, to shell with them then. They want to use that stupid one where the kids are running around the letter M in a cheap studio with cheap keyboard music, fine. I had a bunch of great ideas that would make the cirriculum fools and us classic satire fans both happy... but forgetabout it. [BITTER SARCASM]Those cheap mid 80's early 90's computer gererated "This is the letter B..b...b..b.." type crap are soooo much better than a mear mortal can do![/BITTER SARCASM].

But I did finally see the 24 parody. Hillarious.

Hey! There's a though. replace all those cheap POS animations from the 90's with more Muppet segments. And get rid of those hour and a half long bits about some kid prattling on about his home life too. More Muppets.

The "Baker" tune is used ONLY if the number of the day ranges from 1-10. For zero and 11-20, the Count clips appear--either his singing organ (which vanishes on 0), or his "Number of the Day" waltz/duet with the Countess. (I don't know about you, but her "STOP!!!" shouts scare the heck out of me...)

 

[ISNorden]

Yeah, they were talking about that on "Regis and Kelly" this morning. They mentioned his "Cookie is a Sometimes Food" song. Has that been on the show yet? Just wondering.

I did see the ep where Cookie disguised himself as Granny Bird to get the Cookies. It seems like he's still the same loveable monster we've known for years.

If the writers were sincere about teaching good nutrition, they'd have made those lyrics "EVERYTHING's a sometimes food". Overindulging in any one kind of food--whether it's an obvious junk item like cookies, or an otherwise healthful item like apples or porridge--is not good at any age. Heck, I'm surprised "Sidney" (yeah, right) didn't reform 100% and become the Perfectly Balanced Diet Monster...a nutritional worrywart who makes Telly look calm about food.

At what point was CM called 'Sidney' anyway? I remember reading at imdb.com that it was established in a season 33 ep. Can someone give me more details on that?

A Wikipedia article on Cookie Monster said that he revealed his 'real name' as Sid in a season 34 clip. I assumed that was a nickname, as it is with most real-life Sids...

 

[ISNorden]

As much as I miss a few Muppets that got retired from the show, I'd actually like to see more humans there--and more plotlines which center on problems that real kids/parents have, not on letters or numbers.

The leeter and numbers are just as important which was partly and I'm pretty sure the main reason why the show was created in the 1st place.
