A few weeks ago, HBO announced that they had picked up Sesame Street for 5 more years; and it looks the show will be going through some changes that would make it appeal more for the paid movie channel that gave us Real Sex. Today, they released a video called When Cookie Met Sally, and they recreated that infamous scene from the RomCom at the deli. Yes, that scene. I guess now kids are going to learn what the letter O is really for. Hopefully, they will be able to teach little boys where the G is, so they will grow up to be men who know how to give a woman the letter O. Why didn’t Sesame Street teach us the alphabet like that when we were kids?

Nathan Fillion was seen coming out of Miss Piggy’s trailer and he was looking all disheveled like he just porked her. So do they have something to tell us? Probably and since Kermit and her have broken up, it is OK for him to bring his bacon over to her Muppets Castle.
A few days ago, HBO announced that they picked up Sesame Street for 5 more seasons. So what does that mean for the show that has spent 45 years on PBS? So That Happened got their hands on the first trailer and there will be cursing and so much more. This is not the Sesame Street we grew up on, but it is the Sesame Street I want to watch now. I just won’t let any kids watch it. Which is OK because they are watching Dora the Explorer and Doc McStuffins.

Sonia Manzano, who has played Maria on Sesame Street for 45 years, announced yesterday that she is retiring from the kids educational show according to The Hollywood Reporter. She joined the show back in 1971 and became a mainstay 3 years later. Once she was part of the show, we saw her date, get married and have a kid. Now it is time for her to move on.
As she grew up on the show, we all grew up watching her. If you think about most of us have watched Sesame Street at some point in our lives, so she has been part of all of our lives. Now it is time for her to enjoy her life and I wish her the best! We will miss her, but we will remember her with a big letter F as in fondly.
