I love Big Bird and Snuffy the best. I @#$%ing HATE Elmo.

I watched the beginning of the anniversary special (there was way too much Elmo so I had to change it) and Susan, Gordon, Maria and Luis all look EXACTLY the same as they did when I watched it....keep in mind I am in my 30s!! Bob looks the same too except his hair is lighter.

You mean Bob is still alive? Why did I think he passed away a few years ago? I am so GLAD he's still alive!!

I still remember when Mr. Hooper (or Mr. Looper to Big Bird) died. I was about 3 or 4, and it was the first time I found out about death and dying.

One of my favorite episodes was when Luis and Maria got married on the roof (mid 80s I think). And then Gabriella was born a few months later. Up until a few years ago I thought that Luis and Maria were married in real life. Haha.

After that last thread about favorite SS songs, I took it upon myself to dl some of the songs mentioned...and I now have a "best of" CD playing in my car.

I'm so glad that a new generation's appreciating SS just as much as I did. I am wearing my SNUFFY shirt to the bar tonight. YAY.

1) They recast Miles!!!! The new Miles has cornrows.

2) Does anybody ever wonder how much money the live Sesame Street actors make? Kevin Clash (Elmo) is probably filthy rich, what with all the product tie-ins, but you know, I wonder if Maria, Luis, Gordon, and Susan are livin large.

I don't know how much they make but the service they have performed over the yrs for many of us they should be paid a lot!

I just read an article in a sunday paper entertainment article recently that the girl who plays the vetrinarian ( for some reason her name is escaping me) is going to be on the Sopranos as a girlfriend to one of the thugs on the show.

Her name is Gina, and that's a hot mess. I hope some little kid doesn't happen upon it and be messed up for life LOL

I loved everyone, I likes Barkley and Linda, the deaf lady, and Guy Smiley, and Harry, and Telly, and Snuffy. Oh and baby Natasha, I liked her gibberish. Oh and Erinie's little songs, I LOVED those. Its different now. My daughter watches it (if I turn it on before Dora comes on).

I remember when Jim Henson died, and the muppets did a little thing about it, when they "found out" he died. I cried, it was so sad. I thought that was the most "cryable" moment, along the lines of The Color Purple. :(

I didn't know where else to post this. FUNNIEST PIC OF THE DAY!
