The point is that that first verse makes me happier than I ever thought possible. Then she shows a bunch of pictures that kids drew. Prairie is playing her piano, and she’s playing that same little tune that she always plays for her pageants. Next up is Prairie Dawn’s art show segment, which starts with a song that is so excellent that I fear I will not be able to do it justice. Already this has gotten so cute I think I may never recover. Then Morgan lifts up her shirt and shows Grover her bellybutton. Where are my cute, attractive arms?” Goodness. Then there’s an old Sesame clip with Grover talking to a little girl named Morgan, who helps him name body parts.

And when was the last time you watched a TV show that had a rimshot? This is just straight-up good television. This is classic type Ernie and Bert stuff.
A real live actual sincere rimshot.Īll interactivity jokes aside, this is good stuff. “Gee, Bert! Whatcha doin’ up there?” There’s a rimshot. “I think the blood is rushing to my head.” Ernie Says: Look up! He looks up at Bert. Ernie Says: Put your thumbs down! Bert looks around. Ernie Says: Put your thumbs up! Bert complains: “Ernie! You know I’m afraid of heights.” Ernie ignores him. Ready to play? Bert is still hanging from the ceiling. Then Ernie announces that we’re going to play a game of Ernie Says together, and it’s going to be all about up and down. Bert is put out by this, as naturally he would be. “I’m up here, Bert! Hello down there!” Bert tells Ernie to get down before he hurts himself… so Ernie says, okay, Bert! and turns the screen around - so now Ernie is right side up, and Bert is upside down. Ernie appears - hanging upside down from the ceiling. “Have you seen Ernie?” Well, yeah, like two seconds ago, during the theme song. Maybe I just need some more time to get used to him.īut here’s what they’re doing together. But Eric’s Bert is still a bit jarring for me. Ditto with Eric’s Grover, who’s definitely just Grover. But when I see Steve’s Ernie, I don’t think of him as Steve’s Ernie. Interact with me!) Eric’s Bert is not quite as good as his Grover. I’ve written about Steve’s Ernie and Eric’s Grover before - see the raves about Steve’s Ernie in My Week with Sesame Street and Eric’s Grover in My Week with Sesame 2.0. You may have noticed when you were clicking around on the site - (You did click around on the site, didn’t you? Of course you did.) - so you may have noticed that this is new-school Sesame, with Steve Whitmire as Ernie, and Eric Jacobson as Bert and Grover. Let this be a lesson to us: When you’re shopping for web design, always pay retail. (By the way, speaking of websites: Have you noticed all the big circles on the new redesign of the site? Looks to me like the web designers had a 2-for-1 sale. It didn’t work when they tried to make websites act like TV shows (see: MuppetWorld), so now they’re making TV shows that act like websites. The show and the website were designed to work together seamlessly, so kids can go straight from the TV to the computer to keep playing with the Muppets. See the circles? That’s what I’m talking about. Did you click on the link? Great! Now you can see what the show looks like. Okay, everybody out there - put your hand on the mouse! Is your hand on the mouse? Good! Now click on this link. Grover shouts “Hello everee-bodeeee!” and then all the circles sort of bounce around, and they play a groovy version of “Somebody Come and Play,” and they all appear and sing, and then they’re in circles again, and… There’s all these circles with the letters that make up the name of the show, and then there’s four circles with the main characters inside - Ernie, Bert, Prairie Dawn and Grover. Get used to circles, kids, we’re gonna see a lot of them this week. Well, to start with, there’s a bunch of circles.
And guess what? I’m going to be watching it with all of you! Are you ready? Great! This week, I’m going to be watching Play With Me Sesame, the new interactive Sesame spin-off. Oh, good! You’re all here! I’ve been waiting for you. Sorry for the inconvenience! Synergy Sesame
Possibly because the internet is just a passing craze. Editor’s note from the future: All of the links mentioned in this article are dead.
