The count episode was actully pretty good
Actually, that wasn't me who mentioned that since I don't watch the ETM segment. Though that would have been cool to see. So I'm guessing that would have been Ryan as Elmo there if it was taped after Jerry's passing since I know Kevin's departure happened around the same time, so if anyone has any photos or videos of the part with the Mr. Johnson statue let me know.Plus, as Daffyfan2003 noted, there was a statue of Mr. Johnson in the park! How cool is that??
I'm definitely going to wait for it. Gives me something to look forward to on that day, at any rate.I watched and it was lovely. I urge everyone else to try to not be like me and wait until Halloween for it.
I watched a bit of the segment yesterday; it's still Kevin performing Elmo BTW, given that they produced the ETM segments in early 2012. I would take an educated guess and say that the Mr. Johnson statue probably was added after the segment was completed and Jerry had passed away. If it was planned ahead of time to air this during season 44, they probably had leeway to tinker with the graphics long before airtime.So I'm guessing that would have been Ryan as Elmo there if it was taped after Jerry's passing since I know Kevin's departure happened around the same time, so if anyone has any photos or videos of the part with the Mr. Johnson statue let me know.
That is, I assume that it is a tribute. Seems very likely it was, otherwise they'd probably just have a generic looking statue, maybe just another representation of Elmo instead. Funny, that out of all his characters, they chose ol' Fat Blue.I watched a bit of the segment yesterday; it's still Kevin performing Elmo BTW, given that they produced the ETM segments in early 2012.
