Sesamstraat

I can hardly stand to watch Sesame Street any longer, what with the cloying Elmo sketches and the veggification of Cookie Monster.

But I still have a soft spot for its bizarro Dutch counterpart, Sesamstraat. In the Dutch version, Big Bird is blue (and is called "Pino".)

And as socially progressive as the Netherlands are, Bert and Ernie still have separate beds. (On the other hand, Grover gives Oscar a kiss to illustrate the letter K...)

Great show, but I still can't get over that blue bird...

It depends on what you are used to. I on the otherhand think that a yellow big bird is strange and the dog (tommie) is as far as i remember Huge in the american or englisch version.

But a lot has changed in the set the last few years. it has been moderenised but they still use the old american sesamestreet movies.
