Starting to feel guilty that others aren't getting new episodes

I was thinking today's Sesame Street (Alphabet Roadshow) wasn't all that bad--liked some things, was indifferent to others, with nothing atrocious showing up, and then I saw--

CGI TWIDDLEBUGS! I'm horrified!!

What a travesty to use computer animation instead of puppets for these wonderful, classic, truly great characters!

And yet . . . despite the crime against Sesame-ness . . . I thought the skit was well-written. I laughed at several parts of it. I don't think they remade an old skit, so maybe somebody there actually knows how to write the Twiddlebugs.

I really liked today's episode. I was glad to see some old skits and other stuff. I did like the twiddlebugs. I understand it was CGI but I still enjoyed it. Glad to see that Ernie still cares about the little bugs. I understand I would of liked to have seen a puppet versions but I guess it's cool to see them in any form. Just need new Super Grover, Little Jerry and the Monotones, Grover the sale's monsters, Telly as a sales monster too. I'm just saying. Need other older skits but also newer versions of these.

Just watched the new Twiddlebug scene with the CGI. It was great to see those characters again and it was also funny that they were using a digital camera to take the family picture. Did you notice how weird the shots of Ernie were. He wasn't computer animated but it looked like a computer video. All in all, I didn't have a problem with the segment. It was fun to see those characters back again. SW did say that they would have some surprises this season and bringing back some stuff for the old time fans. Just one thing...were the Twiddlebugs always so dopey? They reminded me A LOT of the Dodo family here. Also, did Daddy Twiddlebug always have a mustache? I don't remember him having one before.

Count, Daffy, others seeing reruns: I don't know what's up with your affiliates, but I got new eps both Thursday (4124) and today (4125). Hopefully you guys will all catch up soon :smile:.
Maybe we'll all have to move to your area. Lol.

I am realizing that they have to spread out the new episodes over the course of the year (like they did last season) because they can only produce so many episodes per season and Sesame Street airs every day. This is unlike most television series like in Primetime where they only air once a week. Most series air about twenty something episodes a season which is spread out to one new episode a week. Sesame Street has to take that same number of new episodes and spread it out.

It's a nice idea, there are a lot of, unfortunately, unwanted children in the world.
