Welcome to a special Holiday Edition of Pop Goes the Couch, a limited series that looks at some of the greatest Christmas TV Specials in history.
In this edition, Steve Riddle is joined by James Gruenberg as they live-watch the 1978 special, “Christmas Eve on Sesame Street”. Join the pair as they discuss what was on TV that same night, Christmas memories, differences between Sesame Street and the Muppets, favorite Christmas songs, the opening scene at the skating rink, Big Bird’s dilemma of how Santa can come down a chimney, Kermit making random appearances, Bert and Ernie giving up their prized possessions for each other, Cookie Monster having a stomach of iron, the fun songs throughout the special, thoughts of a crossover with Oscar the Grouch and the Grinch, Big Bird’s final plan to see Santa, and the simple yet heartwarming ending to the special.
So join Steve and Gruney as they tell you how to get to Sesame Street and discuss a forgotten Christmas TV Special.
