I thought about that. But usually Ernie will do a skit with Big Bird (Journey to Ernie), and then sometimes do a skit with Bert. If you only saw them together, I'd have coupled them. All these write-ins for the Count are making me feel bad. My wife's favorite is the Count as well.
I haven't watched this in years...when I was a kid I watched it a lot, but my kids didn't get into it that much...To many other alternatives... btw, Juan Valdez retired from the coffee adds...
If ya'll haven't seen Dave Chapelle's take on Sesame Street, look it up on the internet NOW!!! It was from his Killing Me Softly show a couple years back, still one of the funniest things I have ever heard. http://www.videovat.com/videos/889/dave-chappelle-sesame-street.aspx
Never understood the love for Elmo. I don't remember that b**** when I was a kid in the early 70's. It's voice is annoying. I wouldn't have a problem setting Elmo aflame.
My freshman year of highschool my family and I flew 2 Chicago for my cousins wedding. I made sure we stopped by the Sesame Street Store specifically for the "Grover shirt that the Smashing Pumpkins chick wore" on the Rolling Stone cover. I got so much play over that shirt. Still love The Count though.
