Wasn't sure where to post this..... But is anyone else annoyed that the new Sesame Street fruit snacks aren't SS snacks but ELMO fruit snacks? :boo: And the funny thing is that I noticed you RARELY get the Elmo charachter (the others are Big Bird (yellow), Cookie Monster (blue), Oscar...

Too bad they can't release a DVD of these tracks to go along with the CD set! I'm just happy to finally have a REAL copy of "Furry Happy Monsters"!

I was watching an ep on Noggin today where Elmo is pretending to be a plant with Stinky and Big Bird is pulling them around in the wagon. Elmo & Stinky are moving around while the wagon is moving. How did they do that? Remote control?

I believe my daughter is probably the "target" age. She just turned 2 and has been watching SS since she was 18 months. By 20 months she could identify all her letters and numbers, count to 20, and identify a triangle, circle and square, and knows the Spanish Words of the Day. All thanks to SS...

Doesn't Noggin have the rights to SS for a while? So I don't think Unpaved could even been shown anywhere else.

ssetta, they will still be using old clips on PWMS. The press release states: "Play With Me Sesame mixes classic Sesame Street footage with newly created games and activities where the Muppets invite children to join in." You can find the press release here: http://www.prnewswire.com/news/...

LOL, I heard that too. Now, I can understand using heavy metal and Barney as torture, but I wonder which SS songs they played!

How many full sized elephant characters are there? I didn't even know they had names! I know there's the one with the British accent that chases the monsters in Monster Clubhouse, and then there's that other one with the ANNOYING voice that occasionally wears a tu-tu.

You'd think SS would be a lot cheaper to produce than other shows. For one thing, a large portion of their show is made up from "re-purposed" material (old clips), so it's really just 15 minutes to put the "Street" segments together and getting all the clips together that match the theme.

I can't believe we've gone through a whole season's worth of episodes in a little over a month! :boo: :boo:

Lordy knows we've got enough SS merch in this house to pay for a few episodes! (The electronic bongos are pretty cool)

I thought the reduced funding was due to cuts in government support and smaller patron donations? Doesn't PBS order the number of episodes based on how much money it has? I don't think Sesame Workshop has any control on how many episodes PBS can afford.

My favorite is R.E.M. doing "Furry Happy Monsters"

I was watching the recent "birth of baby bear's baby sister" shows and wondering how often Sesame Street has done those. I know the location episodes were multi-parts, but were there a lot of other "regular" episodes like that? I find it strange that they would do one like that since "they" were...

They weren't in any particular order, but here are the other 9 *WE DO! WE DO! (Luke & Laura on General Hospital getting married.) *TUCK ME IN (Kay on The Young and the Restless gets a face lift and they used footage from the actress's actual surgery.) *HURRICANE ERICA (All My Children...
