Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

[The Count]

Huh? Henry Sellik chef character? Could you please elaborate?

Saw the Hungry Games parody thanks to Toughpigs, a couple funny bits from Cookieness's dialogue.
*Stares at Pita as if about to eat her. No, me eat something else.

Anyone else thing the Tiger was an unintentional running gag? Street story, word of the day, and Me Want it video in that order?

I've noticed that too, but it could have been intentional. You never know.

Cookie was all over this episode too. The "ME Want It" song, the X cartoon, Crumby Pictures and in What I Am.

Here's my thoughts: The street story was funny. It's the second season in a row that Snuffy is seen without Big Bird. Also, is Matt gonna be the tiger from now on? He's been playing him since the Hallie Berry bit. The WOTD bit was good. I liked how the tiger refused to give the ball back when they asked for it. So Me Want It isn't just for the Internet. If only I knew that before I watched the YouTube video. At least they added some dialogue and sound effects. And they got rid of the hash-tag Control Meself because, that wouldn't work on TV. The new MHALL tune-ins were good. The girls in there were very cute. The new CCP was hilarious! I saw the Hunger Games, so I got everything. Did Eric play Peta? He was the only character who I couldn't figure out the performer to.

Today's street story was very lovable for several reasons. For one thing, it featured Snuffy by himself; we haven't gotten that in quite awhile. That's not to say that I don't like him being best friends with Big Bird, but as someone on here once pointed out, it seems like in these past few years, Sesame Workshop always seem to put it like Snuffy is like Big Bird's sidekick or whatever, so it was nice to see a Snuffy street story without Big Bird having to be present. Secondly, they got Leslie to perform the penguin. This was great, because, she did it in last season's Airplane the Musical and both of these performances were quite amusing. Plus, the code names Snuffy used for the animals' orders were quite brilliant; he should consider working in a diner! Lastly, I loved the zookeeper's overall exasperation throughout the story, especially at the end. ("Next time, I'm taking them to the movies!") All in all, this was a great story.

The Word of The Day segment was pretty good. I too was quite surprised to see "Me Want It" included on the episode, and like Drtooth pointed out, it seems like the tiger appearing seemed kind of like a running gag. The "6 Burgers" animation was Like most people out there I obviously enjoyed today's "Cookie's Crumby Pictures". I can't wait for the next one!

Since this is another previous season highlight I can't refuse to pass off, it was nice to see "What I Am" again.

Well, it looks like we now have to wait a couple more weeks for the next episode. But hey, "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait", so who knows?

Huh? Henry Sellik chef character? Could you please elaborate?

There was some stop motion sequence about the number 6 with a Chef making burgers for six kids... and somehow, it had almost a Coraline-ish look to it. At least with the Chef who had this purple angular handlebar mustache.

Cookie was all over this episode too. The "ME Want It" song, the X cartoon, Crumby Pictures and in What I Am.

Well, Cookie is a regular character and it's normal to see him on the show. Especially since he has made a major comeback.

But that Tiger... which really makes it weird as it's almost like the same tiger who couldn't wait to have breakfast was the same as the one who couldn't control himself from chewing on the basketball.

[JonnyBMuppetMan]

Don't mean to be rude or anything MuseumMan, but is there any particular reason why you feel it's necessary to recap repeated episodes?

 

[Drtooth]

Here's that cartoon from yesterday's episode about the kids standing in line

That kid with the mouth on the side of his head makes me laugh.
