Saw the 35th birthday show last night.  
Meh.

Too much Elmo to be sure. A few good moments. Not enough old stuff.

The best part was the muppet song at the end credits, “Na na na na, do doo di do do, na na na na…”

It was made to fit the format of a current show with Elmo’s World, Search for Ernie, etc. So that sucked.

I loved those aliens. Especially when the phone would ring and they would just sit there imitating it.  
BRRRRRRRRRRRING BRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG.

My favorite Guest Star was Robin Williams and then Garth Brooks. What fun it must be to sing with the muppets.
