It's a gloomy day in the neghborhood, a gloomy day in the neighborhood...

It's time for some new Sesame Street spin-offs. They could go prime time with some of those characters. Base the action around Bert and Ernie's apartment. Tales every week about the wild misadventures amongst their friends. You could do an entire episode about Big Bird being hunted by a poacher for his feathers. Have a guest appearance by Buffy, versus The Count. Or the Swedish Chef's guest appearance on the Martha Stewart show. No real actors, though, all muppet characterizations of famous people. As fake as some people appear to be, you'd hardly notice the difference.
