Play With Me Sesame Season 2 rescheduled for June

[Phillip Chapman]

The second season of Play With Me Sesame begins tomorrow, Monday April 7th on Noggin. Play With Me Sesame airs twice daily at 7:00 am central (8:00 am eastern) and 10 am central (11:00 am eastern). Let us know what you think of the new episodes. One of the highlights of season 1 was the inclusion of many classic skits in each episode. Hopefully this will continue with season 2.

123 Sesame Street (reruns since 1999) also airs at 4:00 am, 8:00 am, and 11:30 am on Noggin.

Set your VCR's and let us know what you think!

Well, I watched it this morning, and it was just yet another rerun. Are they serious about the new season of PWMS?

[mikealan]

When I watched PWSM this Saturday morning, I think it's the same season from the first season. Ernie, Bert, Prairie and Grover still do their same things to teach preschoolers as well. This season still has the old classic clips since the beginning.

[CookieFan]

I don't think PWMS has new shows yet, I've watched it all week and keep getting this strange sense of deja vu......

[Phillip Chapman]

I have a contact at Noggin. I will try to find out what why there is a delay and when the new season will begin.

[sweet201]

Just wondering if you had heard anything yet regarding the new season of PWMS. Thanks! :) Tina

I just saw a commerical for it. It starts June 7th at 8:00 AM. The show has some new cast members as well. Now with Grover, Praire Dawn, Ernie & Bert we have Cookie Monster( I assume David Rudsman is playing him seeing how busy Frank Oz is) and Zoe. Also it looks we will be seeing Super Grover in the non-classic skit segments. :) It looks to be a good improvement over the first. I just hope they keep Kermit sketches like the used in Season 1.

I'm glad to hear this. It should be great!

I wonder why they're not featuring Elmo. Probably because of Elmo's World, which probably will become its own show eventually. I know it will.

Season 1 had a lot of Elmo sketches. I bet this will also. And a all elmo world show? Sesame Workshop said they have no plans to do that. And there seems to be no reason to. Season 33 had 31% rating improvement. The new SS is how they should keep it.

[WiGgY]

Elmo's World would make a good show on it's own, but I think SS has found a good balance. It runs very smoothly. I've never seen PWMS because I don't get Noggin, but Elmo probably doesn't need to invade that show yet. Good to know Cookie will join them though.

[ssetta]

I think they should put Elmo's World on it's own, and put Sesame Street back the way it used to be!

There is one skit I would like to see on the new season, and I think it would be quite appropriate. Remember "Zero Cookies" with Ernie and Cookie Monster?

[Erine81981]

Here are some I remember: Do de rubber duck, Two headed Monster find shapes, I think The cookie disco one were cookie monster lost his cookie. And the one were cookie monster comes out in a beard and swamie hat and theres girl singers in the background. Forgot the name. And thoes are a couple I remember. There you go.

Here's a little more info on Play With Me Sesame's season 2 premiere that was rescheduled for Saturday June 7th. Sounds like there will be a lot more characters on the show this season. Should be very good.

I think the Season 1 of Play With Me Sesame shows the classic rhyming game skit many times. Here's how it went:

Bert: (who is reading the "Cooking with Oatmeal" book) You take four cups of lump...two beated mangoes...

Ernie: Hey, Bert!

Bert: ...buttermilk...

Ernie: (Continued) It's time for the rhyming game, Bert!

Bert: Oh, yeah. But I just want to read my book.

Ernie: Oh, you'll love this game, Bert. You see, when you say something, I will say something that rhymes with what you just said.

Bert: Uh-huh, right. But I don't want to play your game.

Ernie: Maybe not, Bert, but we'll do it all the same. See, both game and same rhyme.

Bert: But, Ernie, I have to do something what I want to do.

Ernie: Wiggle your finger and buckle your shoe!

(Drum music starts)

Bert: Uh, Ernie, I'd rather just sit here and read my book.

Ernie: With ears you hear and with eyes you look.

Bert: Oh, come on Ernie, cut this out.

Ernie: Easy ol' buddy, you don't need to shout.

Bert: I don't want to play the game of rhymes!

Ernie: Nice goin' Bert, come ring my chimes!

Bert: (who is putting the book down) I don't wanna do it!

Ernie: There's really nothing to it.

Bert: It's so silly.

Ernie: A boy named Billy!

Bert: Stop it, please!

Ernie: A dog has fleas!

Bert: Ow!

Ernie: Pow!

Bert: Ernie, please, this has got to stop.

Ernie: Some people like to jump and hop!

Bert: I don't wanna do it (Ernie still interrupts!) anymore.

Ernie: What hmm hmm?

Bert: What hmm hmm?!? I don't wanna do it anymore!

Ernie: Oh. One and two and three and four.

Bert: Ernie!

Ernie: Bernie!

Bert: Stop it!

Ernie: Mop it!

Bert: Stop!

Ernie: Flop!

Bert: No!

Ernie: Flow!

Bert: Mmmmm....HIPPOPOTAMUS!!!

Ernie: Uh...ripotamus!

Bert: Ugh! All right! All right! I'd give up.

Ernie: Eat from the plate and drink from the cup.

Bert: I'll just have to play along.

Ernie: It plays like a game and sings like a song.

Bert: You're maybe right, I'm maybe wrong.

Ernie: Clocks go tick and bells go bong.

Bert: Hey, this game's kinda kicky!

Ernie: Sugar's sweet and glue is sticky!

Bert: Hey, the weather is wet and dust is dry!

Ernie: Dogs gotta walk and birds gotta fly.

Bert: It's the great game you've played with a friend!

Ernie: And now, Bert ol' buddy, we've come to the end!

(Drum music stops)

Bert: Yeah! You're right, Ernie, that's a great game! You-(still in rhythm)

Ernie: Uh, well Bert, I think I'm gonna read a book right now. Mmm hmm mmm...(Leaves)

(A moment of silence. We see Bert staring at the lamp.)

Bert: Hey there, lamp! That's a nice shade! You...it's not the same. (Leaves also)

[Clean Gultch]

Something weird happens with my Getting Ready to Read video which has the Rhyming Game skit. if anyone has it, turn your tv really loud when Bert walks to the lamp. Imn the backround you can hear Bert's vouice shouting before it comes out of his mouth. Once you hear it youll understand what i mean. Also, not sure if its that video or another video i have but at the very begining you can hear a phone being dialed

[ssetta]

I remember that, too. You could hear a phone being dialed. I don't know what that came from. But sometimes there may be some defect in the tape itself.
