Tina Fey gets the muppet treatment on "Sesame Street"

It’s been a long week. The economy is hanging on by a thread. MTV is pushing incestuous bisexual twins. Showtime is feeding us bad promo puns about lesbian sex. So, I think it’s time we all took a deep breath and soaked our brains in something unabashedly cute for a change. How cute? Liz Lemon as an actual lemon cute.

You can keep your adorable sometimes rambunctious, sometimes narcoleptic Shiba Inu puppies live cam. For me, nothing was cuter this week than the Sesame Street parody of Tina Fey and her show 30 Rock.

Glasses on fruit — gets me ever time. The skit was part of the 39th season of the popular PBS children's series. Still the appearance of the bespectacled muppet and her 30 rocks wasn't the first time Tina (or her citrusy likeness) has found her way to where the air is sweet. Tina (the real, less yellow version) appeared in the season premiere of Sesame Street last year as a bookaneer.

The 30 Rock skit won't be this season's only pop culture parody. This season includes Pre-School Musical, Are You Smarter Than an Egg Layer? and Feist's "1234." Feist and Liz Lemon? Now that's comedy you can count on, so to speak.

There, now doesn't your brain feel better after a good cuteness soak?

Cute

very, I wonder if they will do anything else with Liz Lemon later? I really should check on what CBC shows and maybe I should start watching it again. I used to have an excuse when my sisters were younger and we had to.


I guess it is what I like about Sesame Street, They provide a product that the whole family can watch without insulting anyone's intelligence.

Wow, for a children's show, that was a really decent parody.

Sesame st always has

Sesame st always has awesome parodies, i wouldn't even say this was one of the best. its still awesome though :)

i remember my parents saying how Sesame St wasn't rubbish to watch with your kids like other kids shows, and half the stuff in the sketches you wouldn't even understand if youre not like 15 anyways, the in jokes etc so they clearly did it to amuse themseleves and the parents as well as to teach. its amazing :)

The Street

Tina and her bookaneers were brilliant, but Pre-School Musical is the funniest thing I have seen in my entire life.  "Let's all go to dress-up corner, and let's all dress uh-huh-uh-uh-up!"

Adorable...

I love PBS. I also love Tina Fey, if you can find a way to mesh the two then we have a deal! If you can squeeze a little P.O.V. and Frontline in that deal well then, I'd be beside myself. TsC

My one year old niece has just discovered Sesame Street, and therefore I have rediscovered it. I love Liz Lemon the actual lemon. Sesame Street is a class act.
