So if you haven’t noticed, a few of us here at Femmeiniste are, um, obsessed with Mad Men.  (If you don’t know what that is by now, there’s nothing I can do for you, I’m sorry.)   So imagine our squeals when we hear that Sesame Street, another one of our favorites, is doing their own personal tribute to Mad Men this season — eeeee!!  This marriage of the perennial gold standard in children’s programming plus the BEST show currently on TV (well, season 3 starts on August 16) is sure to be awesome.  And now to add to the fun, Jezebel.com is offering up some Muppet casting suggestions here.

I especially like the Elmo-Pete Campbell concept – brill.  Be sure to read the comments, where one particularly witty contributor has submitted her own vision of what the episode will be like – CTW, are you listening?

For another fabulous pop culture –> Mad Men tribute – be sure to check out Homer Simpson-as-Don here …

And let’s remember, Sesame Street has a long and distinguished history of clever parodies of hit TV series.  For examples, check out this, this, and this.   Love the citrus in eyeglasses!!
