His quirky sense of humor, comedic timing, and curious but not child-like personality lend to the more classic Sesame Street to me. Count, Grover, Oscar, Bert, Ernie, Harry Monster...none of them were thought of as children (just Big Bird as far as I can recall). So to have all of the new character be kids, seems a bit odd to me. They even seem to have made Telly into a child-like monster with his friendship and similarities to Baby Bear. But Murray brings back the days where it was ok for the adult muppets to be curious and not really have a full grasp on what was happening around them. I LOVE what Joey Mazzarino has brought to life with Murray, and I for one wouldn't mind seeing more of him actually interacting ON the street with the rest of the crew. But I kind of see the Travelling Matt side too...Andy Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821363163948326302noreply@blogger.com
