Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

She said eighteen count. The teen part was just really quite.

But I really love the street story today!

Wow, it's a shame that I missed this episode. It sounds like it had quite a few goodies, includign Air and one of the Grover the Flight Attendant segments. Which one was it, the one where Mr. Johnson wants something to read, or the one where Mr. Johnson wants to be warm?

Best parts- Street Story with Telly and Gordon
Reused Ernie and Bert segment
Grover as a Flight Attendant (Is this new? i've never seen it before)
Air

Worst parts- basically everything else. Do we need that many kid films? That Kite thing was lousy and just lasted for EVER....

I want to add, I don't know if the "Celebrity" segment really qualifies as Celebrity. Wasn't that Gina? It's like someone backed out the last minute and they had to use her.

But I just loved how Telly thought of using a Turkey Sandwich to simulate a hill. Now that just killed me as much as the Grover segment. They really know how to make a word sound joke like that (when you shove random words into things and they sound funny).

It's a bit odd that the segment where Mr. Johnson wanted something to read on an airplane wasn't shown, considering this seasons focus on literacy. But it seems like Mr. Johnson has been making a comeback in the last few years. I don't think any new material with him was shown between 2002 and 2005, and the only old material shown with him was the Elmo's World: Food segment. But then he returned for A Celebration of Me, Grover! made a cameo in a season 36 episode, appeared in two new sketches (and I think one repeat) in season 37, and this season we get at least one repeated sketch, a cameo in a street story, and a new sketch (though I think it's a remake of an older sketch).

I guess most of the classic material they show here are post-1980 skits, what with that "Air" song.

Addendum. As much as I hated seeing the Baby Bear segment, I couldn't help yelling "Hai! Takecopter!" when Hero Guy pulled his propeller off....

PM me if you care to know what that means. It's not anything Dirty, i just don't want to fill the thread up with an explaination of it.

Episode 4150: Storyline: I enjoy this one. It was fun and exctining. I loved that Telly was there with Gordon. And cool to see others around the story.

Segments: Enjoyed all these too. I was glad to see an not so old Ernie and Bert skit. Reminding me of the older version. Cool reused. Grover's was too.

Songs: I enjoyed seeing "Air" song. I saw that and went "Cool!" Glad to see those. Also all the other songs i head too. Enjoy it all.

That's my two cents and enjoyed this episode all over. Thanks SS for another good storyline.

The air song surprised me! It was good to hear Jim's voice doing a Muppet again and of course I'm gonna love the Grover skit, he's my favorite Muppet ever so I get a big grin whenever he comes on screen. Could have done without Baby Bear though.. and I missed Abby entirely.

I pretty much only really bothered with new skits today....

So, I'm just gonna talk about the street segment.

I loved it. Not only do we see Big Bird, but also Oscar. A story centered around him and Slimey. Now, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love these Oscar/Slimey moments. It's really the only way Oscar ever shows his tender, loving side. Like a surrogate child, not just a pet.

That said, it was also great to see Leslie do another character besides Abby. Her reporter that kept getting her heads and tails confused.

The story was excellent, and a brillaint way to teach good sportsmanship. I'm gonna guess that Slimey originally "Head Butted" Squirmendine in the script. We all know who that was.

I also just loved the French and American worm fans too. Very stereotypical of both.


The little bit in the middle with Abby, once again is cute. I will say, I love how they worked her into each episode without having her be solely in the story line.

And, that dumb Sit down get up was MUCH catchier in French... but then again,

Too bad this was the only Global Grover we've had all season, though...

Leslie also performs Prairie Dawn's mom in "Sesame Beginnings."

BTW, is this so far the only Global Grover they've shown this season?

I really loved today street story!

I meant to post this link before, unrelated but it helps to bring up my point. if it was removed, I can just PM it or put it somewhere else...

anyway, as I was saying, I find it very bizzarre that they would put in a French song, when the clips are usually either in English or Spanish.

And could someone help me and the Count out.... what was the name of the Brown French Goruch? His named was muffled by a thick french accent.

Hello everyone, i'm new here and I have to say. Today's street story was awsome. It reminded me a lot of the Worm Olympics episode they aired about 15 years ago. They could have done a better job with the inserts though. Since the topic was "apology" they could have shown the Ernie and Bert skit where they were at the Beach and Tough Eddie knocks over Bert's sandcastle, then brings him an Ice Cream Cone. Sesame Workshop seems to be somewhat afraid these days to show anything old. But all in all, a really good episode.

Episode 4151: Storyline

I really enjoyed this one. I thought it might be a segment through out the whole episode other then just the storyline at the first but still enjoyed it. Loved it featured Slimey and a french grouch. I've always thought why not get the real french grouch from another Sesame Street production but oh well. I loved how Alan said "I wished i could be there." And Big Bird saying "You can. It's right over there near Oscar's trashcan." I thought with it being that i was just a few feet away i didn't like but when Big Bird said that it made me laugh with it being a joke kinda of.

Segments: Some of not so old stuff but some of the repeats from seveal seasons ago. They were ok.

Songs: Enjoyed the french version of the "Sit Down, Stand Up." Hardly new songs but still ok. Hope to see maybe a new Ernie and Bert skit soon. (Really hope so)

But i enjoyed it and thought it was ok. That's my two cents.

Looks like we got to see a Bip Bippadotta clip this season-how old would the segment be?
