OK... There's some clarification that needs be done here.
The day care Baby Bear used to go to... That was the Sesame Street Day Care, where others like Zoe and Betty Lou and Frazzle frequently attended. Not exactly sure where it was located, either in the carriage house area or maybe 4-5-6 or 7-8-9 Sesame Street.
Originally, it was run by Lillian. After her, Angela was the one in charge of the day care with her baby Kayla while Jamal worked during the day at the park as a park ranger. The last person to be the one in authority at the day care was Gina herself.

Nowadays, Baby Bear's moved up the educational system and is enrolled at Storybook Community School under the tutelage of Mrs. Goose (Shirley Jones).

Hope this helps and have a good day.

I dimly recall the day-care center being at 456 Sesame Street--which is odd for an address just around the corner; you'd expect it to be three blocks away. (Yes, I was grown up by then but still watched for nostalgia's sake...*blush*)

Thank you for clearing that up Count.

Can confirm that it was 456. But I man your still grown and watching it now, so it really can't be any better or any worse, right?:halo:

One episode left... Here's the rundown.

Episode 4159: Rosita gets upset about Zoe and Abby playing together.
Cold Opening: Word on the Street: Murray Monster asks about "angry".
Street Story.
*Huge thumbs up for the Alice in Wonderland reference with the White Rabbit getting his teapot derusted at the Fix-It-Shop.
Song: "Síentate, Levántate", the same song that was shown in French some episodes back but now in Spanish.
Celebrity: Word on the Street Explanation: "Angry".
Animation: Little girl is angry over a number of things, appeased by her little brother offering some of his last piece of orange.
*This classic animation has been sweetened with extra background musics.
Muppets: The Dr. Feel Show.
Animation: Song: "Felines".
Letter of the Day Game Show: D, Cookie Monster brings a doggie (probably Dimples), daisy, and little girl who's last name is Dawn and is also drowsy.
Animation: Song: Ornate D's dashing through the door, dancing on the floor, and in a dinghy in the deep blue sea.
Animation: D changes into a d with drumbeat music, narrated by Gordon.
Muppets: Elmo Says Game of Pretend.
Film: Kids in dance school play pretend with the help of their teacher.
The Count's Counting Organ: 17, a number that won't quit due to Pipe #17's continuously sung announcement.
Animation: Ornate 17's flying by in the air.
Song: "17's My Lucky Number" sung by a kid who has 17's all around her in her life.
Muppets: Evelyn Glennie joins in on Oscar and Telly's jam session in the Grouchketeer Band.
*Surprised at this, after the duet between her and Linda where Ms. Glennie got upset at Linda getting applause and flowers for just the one note Linda played at the end.
Animation: Song: "I Have A Bucket".
Muppets: Song: "That's What Friends Are For" by Jim's Ernie and Frank's Bert.
Animation: African tribal music.
Elmo's World: Friends.
Ending Insert: Abby Cadaby presents the sponsors.
*Nice reference to Classic Sesame as Abby's confused when she sees two numbers that make up the number 17.

Episode 4158 was pretty cool. Elmo was a lot like his early 1990s self in that one. Also, they made a weird mistake: they played the nighttime music when Abby announced the sponsors!

Firstly.... do Muppets even have lips? The only one I can think of with lips is Lips. (yeah, And Janice too... I was making a joke).

Anyway, cute little episode that tied in with the last new episode about Jealousy, how Rosita was jealous of Abby playing with Zoe. Rosita and Zoe make a cute pair of friends... and it really inspired me to make some fan Art, once I either get a Scanner, or a Wacom tablet.... I'll tell you later, to keep this on topic.

I love how she has that Ricky Ricardo-like bit of slipping into her native tongue when she's increadibly angry.

Animation: African tribal music.
To help you out, that was actually aa short paper animation about Bugs. 6 of them were green Beetles, and one of them was a big brown ant (looked like an ant, so I'm guessing). it was another "That kid looks different, but we can play with him" skit.

Loved seeing classic Ernie and Bert at the end. Especially one of the great "waking up Bert" skits.

Looks like they digitally altered the old angry girl animated skit. they seem to have added shadows to give it the illusion of back ground.

Plus it was nice to see some new muppet stuff. Like the Oscar skit.

And anyone notice the animation freeze frame background on the Elmo segment? It was the same style as the canimator that did the Ananzi the Spider and Uncle Franky builds a Cookie Contanulator segments.

Actually I believe that was the daytime music as it didn't have the xylophone, harmonica and it was much livelier. The music is kinda smilier to the opening. But they have played the nighttime music in the day before.


Loved today's episode! I thought it was a good one over all!

I only caught the last half of today's episode (hopefully, the other PBS station will do a repeat on Monday as usual). Still, this one sounds promising; I'll add my own review when I can see the whole thing.

It was nice seeing Telly and Oscar together, and the Grouchkateers, and Telly playing his Tuba! 3 classic elements all in one new skit. That was really cool. As Telly used to say I give that sketch 5 Wows, WOW WOW WOW WOW and........ WOW........

Also great to see an old Ernie and Bert skit. Perfect for today's topic "Angry" since Ernie made Bert very angry in that one. So angry he went to sleep in the kitchen! :stick_out_tongue::frown::grouchy:
