Airdate: October 3, 2013.
Sponsors: N, 8.
What's the Word on the Street?: Texture.
Street Story.
Basically it's an extended art class where Alan trying to get Cookie Monster to not eat the bowl of fruit or his painting of the bowl of fruit. There are some good lines here...
Cookie: "This what me call mixed message."
Finally! We get the payoff from the overuse of the line "Good Enough To Eat" after the song sung by Cookie Monster.
Hey, Gina makes a speaking appearance complimenting Cookie's self-portrait.
Cookie: "Excuse me, texture hard to digest."
Highlights.
1 Celebrity/Muppets: Josh Somebody? and Abby present a magic fashion show to demonstrate "texture".
Josh: "Why am I wearing a burlap sack?"
Becaue you've been cast as the new bogieman!
2 Film: Shape Sculptures.
This was an excuse to teach "textures" while continuing the art project theme of the episode.
3 Muppets: Murray's Peeps in the Neighborhood with Joe the Sand Painter.
Okay... I understand trying to be hip for current audiences. But that rap, yech, give me Bob's signature song version any time of the day instead.
4 Animation: The Letter N Nuseum.
Though at least this is a new sketch for the requisit presentation versus the Alpha Boy N sketch, I'm tired of it just being a list of letter-specific words with visual representation.
5 Muppets: Celebrity Lullaby.
Elmo: "Elmo doesn't care if Ricky Jervais is a celebrity or not."
Ricky: "But I am a celebrity."
No you're not Number 2, know your role before we have Constantine come in and make you dance monkey!
6 Abby's Flying Fairy School: Macaroni Art.
7 More about sand painting with Joe.
8 Film: Some kid counts people in her family, bleh.
9 Muppets: "Eight Is Great".
10 Super Grover 2.0: A Wedge in the Door.
11 Murray makes a sand painting with Joe's help.
12 Muppets: "The ABC's Are Moving You" with Usher.
Apparently this episode was made for cross-promoting Muppets Most Wanted's human cast and cameo stars.
13 ETM: Pizza The Musical.
