I feel your pain!!!!! When it comes to not knowing the characters and missing the old ones.
I too miss the old characters. I have tried to watch the new show and I am so lost that I just get confused.
A couple of weeks ago, I went over to my parents house when they were not home. I pulled out my old Sesame Street album and played it. Yes, I am 31. I get older but I never grow up!!! It was nice to hear all the old songs:
- Sing
- Sesame Street Theme
- Has Anybody Seen My Dog (by Marti & Grover)
- Rubber Duckie (Ernie)
- I love Trash (Oscar)
- Somebody come and Play
- and many others that I can't quite recall at this moment.
It made me cry a bit. My husband was with me and he even had a few tears in his eyes remembering these beloved classics.
The song I miss hearing is Bert's "Pigeon Song." Remember? The catchy lyrics went something like this: "Doin' the uh-uh Pigeon...." He even had a crazy walk and dance to it. Watching that clip made me laugh so hard because Bert was so uptight and repressed.
