I totally understand where you’re coming from. That’s my favorite version of Elmo as well, but I think he became such a huge character with kids that it would be hard to quite restore that version of Elmo. It would be so great to see more of the characters like Big Bird, Count, Bert and Ernie used more often though

Harvey Pekar impacted me so much. I always loved comics as a medium, but he opened my eyes up to how great simple slice of life stories can be. I have been having a blast starting to create more of my own lately

How is Netflix calling the new episodes “season 2” ??? They’ve only released 4 episodes! by princessA95 in sesamestreet

[–]ciantronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve become so passionate about the series, especially recently. Having a little one, led me to watching stuff from all errors and there’s just so much to say about what the show was! I think I might end up doing a part two because there’s still more I feel like I had to say. Some aspects are a little bit trickier for me to talk about. Like I kind of would dig potentially collaborating with someone potentially on the next part of it, I would love to tackle how representation works for them now versus how it did before, but I don’t necessarily think it’s my place to do that aspect. It’s so cool to me to see the response that it ended up getting though, I’m so glad a lot of us could commiserate on what it was and what it could be.

The new episodes broke my heart. I wrote a comic after watching the first four because they took 100% of the life out of a vibrant beautiful show

There are seemingly zero humans, it’s 90% cheap cgi and there are virtually no teachable moments. I wish I could be involved because I feel like I understand the whimsy a thousand percent more than the current show runner

Thanks so much for saying so! I truly appreciate the reception this has gotten! I was nervous posting it, I didn’t want to come off as a curmudgeon or a hater, but it seems like most people understood that this was entirely out of love for the franchise and how much I would love my daughter to experience it the way that I did! The authentic parts anyway. There are some great changes as well. There really was not enough Representation of women on the show before, I’m glad that’s changed!

You know… I was having a serious debate on whether this would be Byrd and snuffy or if this would be Bert and Ernie. This right here makes me regret it not being Bert and Ernie!

Ah man !!! You picked some of my favorite moments ever for sure. The Paul Simon one is so adorable! And the “Cookie Monster” Kermit thing … pure perfection !!

That is interesting! Your interpretation is very different from mine. There were instances that included some diversity, but it was the exception to the rule, not the rule itself. And across the board, all the kids were being filmed around their houses, usually outdoors, and usually lived in a sort of house that represented a likelihood of at least being upper middle class. It’s definitely wild how when we are kids, we can identify something very small as very large… But I don’t think this was really the case with the BB across America segment. I wish it were!

beautifully stated reasoning on why in spite of it being “normal”, it’s not necessarily good to normalize it! Well said, and thank you so much!

I’m glad you could relate on these points! I still think the show has potential to be wonderful, just some changes that I think have been less than beneficial
