Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38 (2024)

Well I finally got to catch a bit of the show today. I definitely enjoy listening to Rosita's voice, it's very nice. And Alan is a joy to watch. And I was relieved that the point of the beginning of the episode was to show that families aren't happy all the time.

Still feeling a sort of "kiddy" tone, but overall it was OK.

Yeah... but I'd replace the word "kiddy" with "unbearably dull and full of uninterresting filler that wasn't interresting the first time".

Was that the original film version, or the animation that was done recently?

GAAAAHHH I hope not. They aren't as funny or as clever. They are cute, but they are just dull compaired to Gordon dressing up as a Hammy 1930's sereal style sci-fi hero. Even the "grouchy Bed Time story" segment was great.

I guess I see what you mean. It just seems like they're running out of ideas for TG. I mean, I haven't seen any new ones of those this season. Still it would be a good idea to have the endings vary. Again, I did like the ending scene the other day with Abby talking to Baby Marco. That reminded me a lot of the old days, when they didn't need to do anything really special for the ending. It was for the most part just a normal street scene. I'd like to see more of those this season.

I guess I will want to check Muppet Wiki to look up who the celebs were. I'm pretty sure it was McGraw (Tim, not Quickdraw) in the "Take a Turn" segment, because I saw him in a magazine today at the dentists office. I don't know who the lady was though.

Yes it was. It was back in the episode 3919

It's also on the DVD "Kids Favorite Country Songs" too.
