Today is already better than yesterday

3 Comments

I’m a little embarrassed to admit how excited I was roughly 20 minutes ago when I realized that there’s a new episode of “Sesame Street” on today. It seems like they’ve had the same five episodes on rotation for the last year.

But today? It’s the first day of Season 38. And the first skit features Tina Fey with the Bookaneers. Pirate puns abound. Good stuff.

Here are a few things I’m looking forward to from this season:

  • a John Stewart episode.
  • the drama that’s certain to ensue in Episode 4141: Big Bird breaks Elmo’s tricycle!
  • what’s certain to be a fabulous Phil muppet in Episode 4154: The Amazing Alphabet Race.

    Ah, and Brian Williams just said, “That’s not a squid. That’s a French poodle.” This is going to be an awesome season.

    update: Be still my heart. “Rhyme Scene Investigation.” Featuring Joe Doe. A Horatio Caine-based muppet. This is the best “Sesame” ever.

    1. Not only does Joe Doe have sunglasses, he has red hair! And dramatic pauses! And a sidekick with flowing blonde locks! At the end of the segment, he even did the dramatic removal o’ the sunglasses. It was quite moving.

    3. A John Stewart episode? AND an Amazing Race alphabet? Crap, I wish I were at home so I could see it.
