While the muppet moments will never meet the brilliance of the Henson days, and the parodies are not as cute as they’d like, the musical numbers on this season’s Sesame Street are top notch!

And of course there is the impossible to resist Neil Patrick Harris shoe song.

Guests this season (so far):
Jessica Alba, Will Arnett, David Beckham, Jack Black, Kim Cattrall, Lorena and Lorna Feijoo, Leslie Feist, Neil Patrick Harris, Jonah Hill, Randy Jackson, Heidi Klum, LL Cool J, Jenny McCarthy, Megan Mullally, Sandra Oh, Mike Rowe, Jason Taylor, Tilly and the Wall, Patrick Warburton, Brian Williams, Chandra Wilson

Since we seem to be running a little behind here in culturegeeks-land (for myself, I blame running after a toddler who can crawl faster than I can walk), let’s post something which should have made it up a week and a half ago.

Diane - you share a birthday with Prince! Which era of Prince are you? 

I’m this one: 

You’re the Dirty Mind/Controversy Prince. Music is fun, and so is life. You like to think about real things, and real issues while being the sexiest thing in the world.

My sympathies to anyone who ends up being “The Artist”.

Groovy

“The Baconizer” should be Kevin Bacon’s nickname for…well, if you’ve seen Wild Things you know what I mean.

I don’t think “dance” is actually the correct reaction.

A-HA!!!

More below the fold…

In Time Magazine.  They talk about their transition to children’s music…

In every possible way… just wrong.
