Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 37

Baby Games

Kermit: So Marvin Suggs I hear you want to play with Marco
Marvin: Yes I do.
Kermit: What do you want to do with him
Marvin: Well my muppaphone needs a new head so I thought he might like to volunteer for the job.
Kermit: Vonlunteer??? You mean you don't pay those guys to get hit on the head?
Marvin: Pay them? Now there's an idea, I was wondering why they quit so often.

Saw the 3rd ep of Gina's baby today, liked the idea of Big Bird and Snuffy thinking about babies. As for baby Marco playing baseball, didn't Mr. Noodle already do that with Baby Natasha?
I loved Grover's Outrageous Home Makeover Addition show, Frank does a very good Ty Pennington. But as for that fourth door on the ceiling, just how did he expect Fat Blue to use it? I did like the way Fat Blue told Grover to get out though after he had taken away all the doors. And then Grover and him both realized that it wasn't possible. LOL

Aside from Gabby and Miles, Susan was the only grownup not to appear once again. This is really starting to concern me.

I hesitate to post this thought because it's just that, a thought, and people tend to see things like this and figure if one person thinks it it's got to be true. So, for those reading, don't believe this. I have no connection to sesame Street, and neither do my old stufed animals (Even if they did, they' wouldn't tell me anything

They're too...I'd say overprotective is a good word...to do a story on death, but it's still quite possible that they could do a story on sickness. Little kids do see grandparents and such (or, nowadays, great-grandaprents) who can't get around very well, some of whom can't leave their homes. Oxygen tanks and such are mobile and people can have them in their homes; even such a thing as that wouldn't be too scary.

They're obviously referencing the fact Susan is still around, but like Mr. Hooper, people will start to wonder where she is. It would be a nice idea to maybe have a special scene (or maybe a two-parter) next year where they talk about how Susan has had some heart or other problems and what her limitations are, but that she is still special and the others can still visit and have fun with her, perhaps more quiet fun but fun.

It would actually be a good way to talk about medicine, too; how "Susan has to take a bunch of pills because of her heart, but each person's medicine is only for that person. Susan's medicine is only to help Susan, and if anyojne else takes it they could get sick." Kids the age they're targeting can still understand how each person's body is different, so it would make sense that each person's medicine is only for that specific person. (One friend, after a mini-stroke from which he recovered pretty well, still has to take 10 pills a day now.)

I'm not sure what shape Loretta Long is in - I thought i read on here that she'd had some health problems, but I don't recal lfor sure - but regardless, it would be a nice story, if they do it right. And, they've done a very good job with the adoption one.

Then again, perhaps SW is too overprotective even to talk about that. It's too bad if they are.

Yeah. I'd like to see something like that. They could do sort of what they did with Madeline Kahn's character on "Cosby:" Have sort of a tribute episode with flashbacks. They also should mention where she is. Especially, considering Gordon and Miles are still around. They should make some mention of why the family isn't complete. Maybe after I finish posting this message I'll do a Google search and see what more I can find out about her. Now for today's ep:

Really good actually. Not only the street scenes were good, but they also had a lot of good new inserts (Ex: New Letter of the Day Game, The breakfast foods taking Bert's bed) I also liked seeing Wanda the Word Fairy. I'm not sure I've seen her on the show before or not. Anyway, as for the street story. I enjoyed it. You can't go wrong with Monster on the Spot or Telly and Oscar moments. Plus I liked when Telly was nervous about trying a new square sandwich. There he seemed a lot like the old 80s Telly, constantly worrying about things. Though I do have on complaint. They could have done more with other people trying new foods, rather than just showing brief clips of Gordon, Gabi, Gina and all the other 'G' people. Lol. Then again Gelmo, I mean Elmo only had a brief appearance. That's kind of a good sign. Lol.

This episode had a strong opening street segment. Oscar and Telly should be in more spots together. One of the best things from the 80's are Oscar and Telly segments. I also love their chemestry, and that it travels over to Big Bird and Snuffy as flawlessly as Frank and Jim as Ernie and Bert, or Kermit and Piggy.

I kinda think it was a cop out for Telly to have the exact same food just presented (not even prepared) slightly different. The Cherry on Oscar's sundae was funny, considering he just took a bite out of the sourkraut.

Wanda the Word fairy, the New Cookie segment, and the Ernie and Bert bit were highlights.

now, the Low lights...

His V... Her V... I don't care who's V it is, it still sucks! that segment with the kids painting the giant mural of number 16. I mean, please... retire the dang thing already. it's old and boring, and no one really liked it the first time. And come on it's time to play was repetative and slow as ever.

BTW... does anyone else notice they redid (well, re-graphically blandished) the "Letter of the Day game" segments from last year, lately? When the cookies fall from the sky, they look like ACTUAL COOKIES, ACTUALLY FALLING, not just random, fake looking, brownish yellow disks falling perfectly vertical? Good move.

I don't see what you're getting at.

 

[Big Bird Fan]

They're too...I'd say overprotective is a good word...to do a story on death,

So if Bob suddenly died they wouldn't have him die on the show? I don't think so. If they were really overprotective, Gina wouldn't have adopted a baby.

On to today's episode. Another good one. Just insert what I've said all week.

I didn't enjoy seeing Wanda the Word Fairy again. I hope SW puts her back in the vault and keeps her there.

 

[BEAR]

So if Bob suddenly died they wouldn't have him die on the show? I don't think so. If they were really overprotective, Gina wouldn't have adopted a baby.

I agree. Anyone as long-running as Bob or Susan (who were there since day one!), they can't let it go ignored. Anyway...I can't wait to see the finale!

 

[The Count]

No idea who's been writing these episodes, but they definitely have a better grasp of SS continuity...

Mentioning that Gordon and Susan adopted Miles in Marco's Adoption Episode Day 2...
Then the fact that Oscar was eating a chocolate sardine sundae, with marshmallows and sauerkraut and a cherry on top, on National Try A New Food Day...
And today... The mention of the SS Library!

Also, we're getting good classic segments like...
Jasper and Julius talking about apples.
Wanda the Word Fairy.
Cecile singing "I'm Gonna Get To You".
The classic version of Dance Myself To Sleep, though I feel they spliced in some extra film footage.

Rully good stuff.

 

[Daffyfan4ever]

Alright. Now for my comments on today's episode. Not bad. I really liked seeing the Sloppy Jalopy again. (Though wasn't it originally yellow?) I also liked that they incorporated Abby in the plot. Too bad her magic wasn't as effective as baby Marco's 'technique.' What happened at the end was sort of what I expected. Since Oscar never got there, he ended up winning anyway.

And today... The mention of the SS Library!

Yeah. Though I was hoping they'd show Maria inside. We might have seen Linda.

The classic version of Dance Myself To Sleep, though I feel they spliced in some extra film footage.

Well, the celebrity version originated a few years ago for "The Street we Live On" special. I'm glad they closed the season by showing that classic song.

Food for thought. If Elmo thinks the best way to win a contest is by having everyone share, maybe he should host "America's Next Top Model." All the girls would share the prizes and everybody's happy. Lol. For the most part I enjoyed that survivor "parody."

Listen up, Sesame Workshop! When Season 38 comes, one of the 38th Season Episodes will not feature an Elmo's World Sketch!! UNDERSTAND?
