…how to get to Sesame Street?

I know, this is an odd return to my blog, but I just had to post this. Season 38 of Sesame Street just kicked off a few days ago. My daughter made note of the new opening and closing credits, but I wasn't really paying any attention. Yesterday I saw a new human character (sorry, dude, I don't remember your name), but he was looked new to me in Sesame Street. He was job hunting, which I thought was a pretty bold step for Sesame Street to take, but as he looked through the paper at each different help wanted ad, he'd sing a tailored version of "there's so many people in my neighborhood" to the job, which my daughter liked, and which I thought was done pretty well. Each job that he would apply for was pretty amusing, but I still hadn't caught on that this was a new season.

Today, however, I was sitting in front of the TV, mildly paying attention, when this skit with Grover being a Doctor for A's Anatomy came on. Next thing I know, I'm rolling on the floor in laughter. And she was as well. It was awesome!

I had heard a little buzz a while back of Sesame Street making some changes, but oh my, they did it right. I had no idea Sesame Street could be that cool. I started to pay closer attention to the rest of the show, and it was pretty cool. Now I want to catch them all.

My hat's off to you, Sesame Workshop.
