Help Bring Breastfeeding Back To “Sesame Street”!

In order for breastfeeding to be seen as “normal” and natural, and not frowned upon in public, we clearly need to be doing more than what we are doing. The nurse-ins are wonderful, and extremely supportive for nursing moms, but to the general public may be seen as a big nuisance. Which is why I think it’s a good idea for older kids to see moms breastfeeding. No need to hide this natural act. Older kids don’t have to go to a bathroom to eat, why should babies?

I’ve always loved the clip of Buffy nursing Cody and explaining it to Big Bird on Sesame Street. Why did segments featuring babies eating from the breast go away? Not sure. Throughout the show’s history, there were numerous nursing moms on the show, but that stopped sometime during the ’90s. Thankfully mom Lani Michelle of the blog Boobie Time (love it!) has started a petition to get Elmo and friends to welcome some breastfeeding moms on their show. Great idea, Lani! We need to support this! Read more…

Don’t you just love it when celebs stop by “Sesame Street” to teach the kiddos a new word? Emma Stone is the latest star on the block and she’s teaching them “balance.” Or trying to, anyway.

I would love it if The Frisky were famous enough one day to do something like this. What do you think our word would be? [YouTube] Keep reading »

"Sesame Street" schools girls on loving their hair. Read More »

If a tough week at work has trodden on your self-worth, let the “Sesame Street” critters sing you into solace. “Change the World” is an adorable little ditty performed by the same girl puppet who proudly told the world she loved her hair. ”Change the World” sends a similarly positive message as our Muppet declares, “I am going to be the best me that I can be” — which is something we all can aspire to. It just gives you the warm and fuzzies, doesn’t it? [YouTube via Clutch Magazine Keep reading »

New Sesame Street Muppet Is Poor And Hungry

“Sesame Street” has got a hungry, impoverished new character—and it isn’t Oscar the Grouch or the Cookie Monster. Lily, a 7-year-old girl whose family often struggles to get enough to eat, will appear in the show’s prime-time special “Growing Hope Against Hunger” this Sunday, reports Entertainment Weekly. The Wal-Mart-sponsored special looks at the issue of hunger, which affects an estimated 17 million Americans. Read more…

Grover Turns Off The Dark

Ahhh, Grover. In this video, “Sesame Street” spoofs “Spider-man: Turn Off The Dark,” the musical that’s left several stars injured and is only ready to open after a whopping seven months of previews and revisions. If only Grover could actually save the musical. [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

Bert Gets Down To Brass Tacks With Andy Samberg


Who knew that Bert, as in the best friend of Ernie, was such a hard-hitting interviewer? In this edition of “Conversations with Bert,” his version of “Inside the Actors Studio,” the yellow guy talks to Andy Samberg of “Saturday Night Live.” While Bert missed the obvious question of asking about his threeway with Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga, he did ask how Andy feels about socks. “From my perspective, anyone who has a problem with socks needs to grow up. It’s been a long time coming. Socks are here to stay, and people who are anti-sock, to me, it’s immature, it’s short sighted — short minded,” replied Andy. To which Ernie added: “One day I’m hoping every sock will meet its match.” The rest of the interview is equally as amusing. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »

Kanye West’s Video Re-Imagined With Real Monsters


I wasn’t as bothered by Kanye West’s video for “Monster” as Jessica, but I think we both would agree that it would have been better if “Sesame Street” Muppets had been involved. Keep reading »

Is Cookie Monster The Next Betty White?

Cookie Monster wants to branch out and show that there is more to him than his enthusiasm for cookies. Homeboy wants to host “Saturday Night Live” and he wants us to help make his dream come true. Check out his audition tape. Um, he’s got my vote. I’m totally joining his Facebook group and I suggest you do as well. Let’s make this thing happen, Betty White-style.

Ryan Reynolds Gets An “A+” For His “Sesame Street” Cameo

Naturally, I’m a fan of the letter “A.” Also a fan of hot dudes like Ryan Reynolds wearing silly costumes while singing and dancing with muppets. As far as I’m concerned he gets an “A+” for this little “Sesame Street” ditty, “The A Team.” [Just Jared] Keep reading »

“Sesame Street” Clings To Jude Law — And So Would We

In his recent appearance on “Sesame Street,” Jude Law was used to illustrate what the word “cling” means. The show had a mouse, an octopus, and a monkey “cling” to Law. Which, we suppose is slightly more appropriate than, say, Sienna Miller or Daisy Wright (the nanny he had an affair with) clinging to the star. [Best Week Ever] Keep reading »
