Sesame Street Documentary - Blog Posts

Every freaking time!

I know it's coming and I'm never ready!

I'm literally crying for a man who died a decade before I was born!

I'm looking at you "street gang" (HBO Max documentary). Dude I cried so hard when they showed the interview of Jim saying that he and Frank Oz will be doing Bert and Ernie in their 80's. Do you know how NOT ok that is.

And I also cried when they showed Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt doing the two-headed monster. Those two do not get enough love and acknowledgement! (I could be wrong, but I don't think either of them were mentioned by name in the Documentary! But they were definitely featured multiple times throughout.) (Though I do understand that if they did acknowledge every puppeteer/actor/crew the Documentary would be super long. But I'd still watch the whole thing!!)

When I watched the Big Bird Documentary (YouTube), that was the only time I was Blindsided by Jim's death. The way the Documentary was edited made it come out of no where. Which made it hurt so much more. I also cried while watching this because it was filmed while Carol Spinney was alive, but I watched it in 2020, about a year after he passed away.

Ok. Rant over. Thank you for reading!
