New Sesame Street on Ceebeebies

[T16GEM]

Ok so I admit that I am sat here with the kids watching ceebeebies!

A new version of Sesame Street has just come on and I can't believe that the characters all have Irish accents! Not that I have anything against Irish accents but it's just weird to me - I am so used to hearing them with over the top American accents that it's just not the same!

Anybody else seen it?

BTW - Shelby seems to be loving it!

Ive not seen it, i used to hate Sesame Street when i was a kid the accents really irritated me even then !

 

[Bolanette87]

I used to hate it too. I just found it boring and it gave me a pain in the back of my skull...........

Robert, however, loved it, so I shall tell him about the new version!

I didn't watch all of the original series ~ Although I loved Big Bird and Ernie.

I was never a big fan of Sesame Street when I was a child, the new version sounds a bit odd.

It was made here in Northern Ireland, the BBC in cohorts with Jim Henson Sesame people and some fund things I can't remember. The kids had posters up in school about it ages ago and they showed it here first. I do admit it was a bit weird hearing these characters' accents but at least they didn't try it with old favourites. There are a huge amount of accents over here in such a small country too. At the least it exposes kids everywhere to the way we talk. Some people wonder if I'm actually talking english
It must be one of the first kids programmes made here to air over the UK. My kids did like it. Not their favourite.
The thing I don't like about kids TV is the amount of American programmes they bring here and then dub them over with, it seems to me, the same 6 kids voices. Playhouse Disney is quite bad for that!

Elmo rocked lol - I did watch it a little as a child, more with my sisters I think, as there is a 6 year age gap between us.
Cbeebies is always on in our house, I haven't seen it yet, I'll ask DD.

I saw a teeny bit of it today. It reminded me of Play With Me Sesame, but one of the characters on there had a scottish accent
