So there was no new episode today? My guide said it was the LMNOP one, so I didn't record it.
As long as they aren't all forced Hispanic Heritage ones. But then again, they have the potential to do it completely organic. After all, there's Maria, Luis, and Rosita. The new cast member, too, but we'll really see some more Rosita as Rosita and not as "that Spanish speaking friend of Elmo's."Next season apparently has a new focus (Hispanic Heritage), so hopefully there will be some more unique storylines.
Yeah. I know what you mean. It seems like that's twice they pushed it back. Wasn't this episode initially supposed to air on Monday? Plus Thursday episodes are good for me because my local stations repeat the Thursday episodes on the following Friday night and the following Sunday morning, so now that I'm working those are the best times for me, especially since there's no possible means of watching them online (well, not without paying $5 or whatever to watch them on iTunes.)Okay... so when did they change the fact that today's episode was supposed to be the new one, and that won't be shown until the end of the month? Secondly, I read the synopses for the next consecutive episodes and they're all the bloody same! More trial and error engineering. The same episodes over and over with a slightly different plot.
I have to admit, I'm getting kinda tired of Fairy Tale characters being used to prove a point. I think it's high time to recast some of Jerry's roles besides just The Count and have other main characters push the plot along. It confuses me why they put those two aforementioned similar episodes together and didn't split them up. I guess they wanted the season to start off with strong episodes. As much as I can complain about trial and error engineering, the Cookie Connoisseur Club episode was pure gold, as was The Good Sport (where we get actual tension between Abby and Elmo). They even had trial and error not engineering episodes where the trial and error was played for comedy's sake (Baby Bear trying to clean a stain off his shirt that kept getting in worse shape with every attempt/ Hansel and Gretel leaving various trails that get eaten/taken/cleaned up). It's just that the second part of the season took such a strong slant on engineering. They really could have switched the episodes up, but they didn't.But on the other hand after reading your post about all the episodes being "trial and error," it seems like I'm not missing much. I guess that is the goal of this whole season. Still, I can see where it can get tiring after a while. But at least they're using Snuffy in the next one. (Don't we have a smilie of him somewhere? I thought someone else used a Snuffy smilie in another post. Oh, well.) It's better to use a classic character that we know than a fairy tale character.
I think it's because the only performers around frequently enough are the ones without (or with too few) main characters; look at the ETM, the characters are played primarily by Matt, John Tartaglia, Stephanie, Tyler and Leslie.No doubt I'm looking forward to whenever the Snuffy episode is. I agree that we need more classic characters and not some fairy tale associated bit. It really seems that they're grabbing at straws to get new characters in there, and they're going very overboard on Fairy Tale/Nursery Rhyme characters lately.
There's a new Hispanic human; there's been nothing said about a new Muppet character.and there is also a new mexican muppet character
