Me, I prefer vintage Sesame Street.
I love Oscar. Think Johnny is pretty special as well.
And while we're talking about Oscar, did you know he started out orange ? And that in Germany he's called Rumpel aus der Tonne which means Rumpel from the wheelie bin.
Being an uber star, he's featured in a handful feature films and few other telly shows (Scrubs, The Simpsons, Southpark to name a few) but I do love what he said in The Great Muppet Caper. Miss Piggy had just hurled Peter Ustinov (now she's one broad who catapults the term 'high maintenance' into a whole different league) into a pile of boxes and Oscar emerges and says, 'Hey, what's all the racket?'
Peter Ustinov: 'What are you doing here?'
Oscar: 'A very brief cameo'.
Peter Ustinov: 'Me too'.

You're not wrong. What's with al lthe bloody flshing these days? Like resting your eye on the same image for more than 3 seconds is too hard? Shame on Sesame Street!
:(
It's almost like they think their audience all suffers from ADHD.
Sesame Street post-70s is just plain weird. I had to pop off for a calming peep at the Muppets to assure myself that all was well. My earworm will now be tuned to Mah Na Mah Na... all day (pictures on ewe-tube, no idea how to link). You're welcome.
'Mah Na Mah Na Boo Boo Bi-Boo-Boo
Mah Na Mah Na....
That's my day screwed.
We've introduced our boys to the Muppet Show - there is naught better than hearing great gusts of laughter from the 3.75 yr old and 6 yr old as the Swedish Chef shoots holes in the donuts.
A great mental picture, Anon. Long live The Muppets.
