Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 39

[Oscarfan]

Anyway, who was the one that called it? The thing about them re-using the letter of the day footage this season, because it looked dubbed? I called that one as soon as I saw the "Nest Sale" sign as the show began.

I believe that was me.

episode 4184

I just looked at the episode guides for Season 39 on http://www.sesamestreet.org/onair/episodes

It says that Sandra Oh is going to be a guest on episode 4184. That's so cool. Does anyone know on which date that episode is going to air in the Boston area (channel 2)?

I know this is late, and I DID see the episode... but I forgot. What exactly was Elmo's role in the Number Six Games?

 

[The Count]

Well... If memory serves, Elmo was the one to be tickled by the six pigs in that particular event.

 

[Drtooth]

Yes... yes... now I remember. For some reason that must have blanked in my mind. All I could picture was Elmo in a football uniform shouting for no reason. I can't believe I forgot that.

Another thing that really struck me was that Snuffy felt the entire deal was his fault, and Big Bird felt it was his own fault.

Of course, I kinda feel the Count shoulda been more concerned. He did feel sorry about it, though... Still... why would he give it away BEFORE he started counting? You;d think he;d want more to count.

Tune in tomorrow for another exciting installment.

Okay. This was the first time I saw this one. Unfortunately, I only saw the street scene since I had to work. I still have yet to see the animated Bert and Ernie. Overall, this was a good story. Still I wish they would have incorporated more of the cast into it rather than Telly getting clues from boulders and snakes. Also, I feel that Leela should have been given more of a proper introduction. They just walk into the laundromat and they act like they already know her. By the way, that chair Telly sat on looked remarkably like Bert's. Does anyone else agree?

Today's review. A question first... Was there a new episode yesterday, 4173 we all missed out on? Or was today's, the Nest Sale, #4173 instead?

I think they messed up again Ed. The episode that showed the day before this one was one of the last season's episode. So i think they'll show #4173 either sometime this week. I'm not watching the "Big Bird's Nest Sale" till i watch "Abby Thinks Osacr's a Prince" episode.

It's kinda funny that when i read the episode for "Big Bird's Nest Sale" on my satellite of "Big Bird's Nest Sale" it read.

"Snuffy accidentally sales his teddy bear, Radar." (And it actually had this wrote on the info) Pretty funny.

 

[The Count]

Thanks for answering Kyle. Actually I think Big Bird's Nest Sale is 4173 whereas Abby thinks Oscar is a Prince is 4174, as the airdates indicate that the nest sale takes sequencial priority.
