It’s amazing the kinds of things they get the Murray puppet to do in these bits: he’s dug in the dirt, he’s washed his hands and now, he’s held an actual owl. In today’s “Murray Has a Little Lamb,” Murray actually doesn’t go to a school for once – he goes to the Staten Island Zoo to learn about birds (his intro with the Muppet pigeon made me laugh). The only other new insert was a cute musical cartoon about subtracting birds from a nest. More of the bits need good punchlines like this one. Jonah Hill is our word-explaining-celebrity this show, talking with Murray about the word “empty.” I liked this bit a lot more than the others, since it seemed like it could work like a regular sketch outside of the Word of the Day structure. More of these kinds of stories would be wonderful. I wasn’t expecting a new puppet for the Minnie Mynah character, but it looked great. It seemed like a follow-up of sorts to the “Good Birds Club” from a few years back. She’s made a slight comeback this past year and with Fran’s recent retirement announcement, I wonder if they plan to continue using her in future seasons or productions.ĮPISODE #4512 – BIG BIRD LOSES HIS NEST – Minnie Mynah stakes claim on Big Bird’s nest, stating “Finders keepers, losers weepers.”īig Bird takes the spotlight and stars in one of the best stories all season. The episode also debuted something I was looking forward to: a new Cookie Monster/Prairie Dawn sketch, where Cookie ruins Prairie’s scout cookie stand! Naturally, it was hysterical and makes me miss Prairie Dawn.

There were also a couple of new animated spots – one detailing how to make a pizza (with a healthy overdose of organic food name-drops) and a trippy, but well done bit about counting to 3 with various neon objects.

I like the letter-themed episodes because of how many clever words the writers can work in for the day’s letter and this episode was chock full of them (Peter Piper: “I guess parachuting isn’t a very practical pursuit.”) I also liked the original song in the episode (despite it’s very short length) and appreciated seeing Forgetful Jones make a brief background cameo.Īndy Cohen and Elmo demonstrated the word “popular,” using some TV spoofs I’m sure the writers considered using for full bits, but couldn’t do much with (though Cluck Dynasty would have potential). I really enjoyed this street story, since it was one of the more developed and longer ones we’ve gotten. I’m glad they’re still making these (despite the unnecessary Chris narrations), though I’m wondering where all the Ernie and Bert skits are.ĮPISODE #4511 – PETER PIPER’S PURPOSE – Peter Piper gives up picking pickled peppers in lieu of a purpose with more pizzas. Also debuted was a new Two-Headed Monster sketch, where they learn how to catch a ball. Still a pretty good segment I love the Pegafish puppet. The next new Crumby Pictures came out–“Nosh of the Titans.” I haven’t seen the original film, but I don’t think that mattered much, since the only real reference was the “Kraken” one. I still appreciate them using a single, static take (much like the classic days) for some bits among the more dynamically shot ones, but it didn’t work much for me here.

And one certain member of the band clearly didn’t know the words. The whole song is alright catchy still, but the lyrics and the melody didn’t seem to mesh very well.

The preview sounded catchy, so I was looking forward to hearing the rest. The highly anticipated and heavily promoted One Direction bit–“What Makes U Useful”–debuted finally. The fairy tale confusion of “coach” was cute, especially with the punchline. In terms of celebrity appearances, basketballer Pau Gasol explained the word “coach” to Abby in a pretty neat bit. It’s wonderful to have Guy Smiley back and have a role in a story, even! I would say they should lighten up on the “self-regulation” storylines, since they’re all starting to seem similar, but I’ll take these over the health initiative in season 36. Here’s what you missed and what I thought of the new stuff.ĮPISODE #4510 – CALM DOWN AND THINK, ELMO – Elmo needs Alan’s help calming down to win Guy Smiley’s game show, “Calm Down and Think.” Shane Keating – Hey! Missed the last few Sesame Street season 45 episodes? No problem.
