So what do Sesame Street and Flatpoint, New Jersey have in common? They both play host to a filthy crack whore.
Okay, admittedly I probably could have come up with a better way to start the article. But since the filthy whore in question is Amy Sedaris, you get the feeling that’s how she’d want it. Amy, of course, is best known for her role as Jerri Blank on the TV show Strangers With Candy but she’s also familiar to Sesame fans as Snow White from an episode this past season, where she suffers a nervous breakdown in front of Elmo over the state of her dwarves.
I’m a big fan of Ms. Sedaris and I know a lot of people who are as well, so it’ll be cool to be able to get that episode now that it’s part of the creatively titled Sesame Street TV Episode Fun Pack Volume 2. This volume is noteable because it also contains the at-the-time controversial episode “Abby Cadabby Moves To Sesame Street”. So this set will feature two girls who know how to raise a stink.
Each Pack of Fun (Volumes 1 and 2) contains two or three DVDs, with individual discs featuring a full episode of the show (from recent seasons) and available at Wal-Mart and on Sesame Workshop’s online store. Available May 6th for $27, or go around to the alley out back and ask Julio for the good stuff. He’ll know what you mean.
