This site is pure satire, creating a hilarious backstory for our lovable furry old pal Grover from 'Sesame Street,' but it's a somewhat veiled story of how longtime Seasame Street fans have seen the show they loved as kids in the '70s and '80s turn from a educational, fun viewing experience into a one-monster commercial showcase for the lovable but annoying Elmo.
It's a great, and telling, story.
When I was 4 or 5 my mom would put on her blue housecoat and do impressions of Grover for me and my neice and nephew (who were around my age).
ReplyDeleteThat was very sweet of her.
ReplyDeleteMy dad used to try to laugh like Ernie for me and my brother.
Can't wait to see the E! True Hollywood Story on Grover.
ReplyDelete"After the 'Near and Far' craze died down, Grover felt empty and alone. He turned to crack cocaine...And then things started falling apart"
ReplyDeleteI bought the first season of "Good Times" on DVD the other day, and coudn't stop laughing about how much Jimmie "J.J." Walker and Grover looked alike. It had me on the floor.
