Sesame Street heads to Japan!

Sesame Street has been a big hit over in Japan, but the original show (broadcast in English and Japanese on 2 different channels) was canned not too long ago.

HOWEVER, this means they are actually making their own co-production of Sesame Street, following Mexico' Plaza Sesamo, Israel/Palisatine's Sesame Stories, and others from around the globe.

Click here for details!

And no... this is NOT an April fools joke! I checked it out!

Usually it's my obligation to respond to this like somewhere along the lines of "totally sweet! Japan makes stuff so much better! Blah blah blah Japan...blah blah blah sweet," but this time it's different. Sesame Street was a bad show, regardless of where it's being aired.

I am really going to flame you for that...

FLAME...

Seriously! "Bad Show?" I admit, it's for kids, but it iss not where even close to a so so show. I mean, with all the BS on tv right now... it's pretty much the best show besides TMNT! For crying out loud. It's been beloved by everyone all over the world for 35 years, and the puppetry is simply devine.

Or am I the only one that remembers the old violent clips of Monsters eating characters, people banging heads on pianos, bakers falling down stairs with 10 layer cakes, and odd song parodies. I mean, I could care less for the newer episodes... they've become impossible to watch for an old school fan.


Seriously... everyone thinks that all it is is a bunch of hand puppets blankly stairing at the screen going "A.... B....C...." no one remembers McNeil of the News Hour interviewing Cookie monster during his infamous "Cookie-Gate" scandal.


>>Oscar the Grouch Kicked ass<<

My sentiments exactly. Oscar all the way! Actually got to meet the puppeteer... nice guy! He went to the same college I'm currently attending!

I know, I'm sorry. I'm just not in the best of moods right now.

Yeah, the show had its ups and downs, and Oscar was pretty sweet.

I don't hate Japan, just the people that live on it.

I love Japan. In general, the best video games come outta there. I dunno what I'd do without that beautiful country.

I'd love to see him count the number of M&Ms in a large bag or something, he'd be there all day
