A recent CBS Morning Report feature showed they’re taping more segments for the next season (with Ryan Dillon as Elmo), so I’m looking forward to more great songs and segments. The songs were great as usual (I love the “You’re the Top” spoof that closes the segment) and it starts out with a typically terrible Muppet joke (Elmo tries imagining a mountain, and instead makes a molehill. We got the final new “Elmo the Musical” of the season – “Mountain Climber the Musical” – and it was very good. They’re really getting better and better each season. I love how Bill Sherman is using his music director duties and his Broadway experience to give the songs a very 42nd Street-sound to them. Again, the songs were also very good too. Abby and Cookie’s appearances didn’t seem to add much, but they were nice to see (Cookie was funny as the norm). I thought it was a very nice story and a great message with it. No other female performers were available that day?įinally, we have “Baby Bear Hates Wee Tee Ball,” which they’re airing out of order. It’s also weird that they had Leslie do the Judy character in the same story as Abby. “Judy and the Beast” wasn’t too great if you ask me, a tad heavy on songs, some better than others (that lobster one is definitely on the bottom) and a storyline they’ve done to death lately. I did get a chuckle at the prince declaring himself “overly gallant.” It was your typical “characters make up a story” plot we’ve seen before. It’s nice to see Zoe some more, and the whole girl group as a whole. “The Princess Story” was alright, not spectacular by any means. The opening song was catchy as well, but I say that about most of the songs these days, which is a good sign. And I’ve really started to appreciate the little “Odd Couple” relationship they’ve been giving Alan and Chris, which seems only natural as they’re the most used adult characters currently. I really liked Baby Bear’s grandfather, constantly confused about modern technology as any senior citizen. “Grandparent’s Celebration” was entertaining and clearly based on the “Twins Day” episode from season 41. It’s the only time we’ll see Gabi this seen, and quite possibly the last we’ll see of her on the show, so it has some significance in that respect. “Baby Bear’s New Sitter” was a repeat storyline from season 39. It’s great they’re doing more storylines with Rosita’s Mexican heritage instead of letting that piece of backstory go to waste. “Rosita’s Abuela”, another in the Hispanic-themed episodes this season, was very good.
