I loved that book :) Grover is just the best.</p> <p>And the Cookie Monster! I was so mad when they tried making him the veggie monster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23694 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:21:21 +0000 Rosie Girl 23694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feel bad for Grover because he got pushed out by Elmo! But, like you said, DS loves Elmo. He is getting more open to other characters now though, so maybe, like you, Grover can make a come back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23633 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:24:06 +0000 meaganceleste 23633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am such a Grover fan!

It would have gone perfectly with my LO and his cousins, they were Oscar, Elmo, and Cookie Monster. ;) I need to learn how to sew for future costumes that's for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23617 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:09:25 +0000 themcmom 23617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I actually made it and elarned to sew so I could make it.

And Suoer Grover is amazing. My favorite Seasame Street character is Slimey the Worm, which is why Wombat was Slimey for Halloween and we were grouches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23586 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:44:08 +0000 SouthPaw 23586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorites were definiately Grover and the Cookie Monster... but then again my favorite color is blue so I could be biased. =)</p> <p><a href="http://www.grubgrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Cookie-Monster-Binge.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.grubgrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Cookie-Monster-Binge.jpg</a> (not for kids but still funny) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23550 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 09:55:14 +0000 Rubies 23550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Elmo.

Everytime he sees him, it's "El-mo!". I personally loved Grover growing up. I guess it's just a generational thing. We're trying to get him to like Grover as well. He just started saying "Cookie" or "Ki-Ki"... so adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23515 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 09:12:36 +0000 heffalump 23515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO isn't old enough for Sesame Street yet. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to the time when I can join in this conversation? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23513 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 09:08:04 +0000 mediagirl 23513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like Cookie Monster has gotten the shaft recently, as well. Bring back the old muppets from our days!! :) I named my first car Grover. I vote Grover for sentimental reasons. Also, Elmo's voice makes my ears bleed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23504 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:36:40 +0000 tequiero21 23504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't really know either too well. but hands down, grover. elmo's voice is so dang annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23501 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:03:30 +0000 BananaPancakes 23501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grover all the way. Elmo is the only muppet that regularly makes me want to punch him. I can't figure out why kids love him so much. </p> <p>@tana_bk: Count was a favorite of mine, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23500 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 08:03:06 +0000 looch 23500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither! Oscar the Grouch all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23499 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:55:04 +0000 Andrea 23499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. I just mentioned this to the DH the other day. Why did they decide to push Elmo into the spotlight and ignore all the other Muppets? I don't think Elmo was anybody's favorite back in the day but now all the kids have been brainwashed to love Elmo. </p> <p>@Boogs: I always loved Snuffy, too, and had to google to make sure that they did not kill him off because they never show him anymore. He is alive and well...just not on the show very much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23498 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:46:10 +0000 runsyellowlites 23498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grover for sure!</p> <p>I can't stand Elmo... His reference to himself in 3rd person &amp; he's so selfish.</p> <p>We uses to have some Elmo movies with DS was really young but when I started noticing how not very nice he was he ditched them. Lol</p> <p>Grover has always seemed to have a good moral character &amp; who doesn't love super Grover?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23474 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 03:22:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 23474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Grover when I watched Sesame Street. He was my favorite along with the Count. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23457 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 01:20:48 +0000 Boogs 23457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Poor Oscar, see that just proves my point! The chickens and penguins get a ton of air time, but where are the other beloved muppets?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23452 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:43:39 +0000 Panda 23452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Grover! Honestly, Elmo was always my least favorite, his voice and grammar always annoyed me a bit. I will definitely attempt to steer my future children toward Grover and the others over Elmo :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23451 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:36:14 +0000 mrbee 23451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: That is a great point about the other Muppets! I was embarrassed for Oscar the Grouch in this Feist video... check out his super brief appearance starting at 0:05 seconds.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ9WiuJPnNA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ9WiuJPnNA</a></p> <p>Embarrassing, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23448 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:34:01 +0000 cupcakemama 23448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally Grover! I love Grover! Elmo just annoys me with his voice and he's a total Johnny-come-lately! I dread when LO discovers him and falls in love. Maybe I should start some pre-emptive pro-Grover moves early? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23446 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:30:42 +0000 Boogs 23446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are both great in their own ways. Like you, I feel bad for Grover, but I also feel bad for all the other muppets. Back in the day they used to all get fairly equal amounts of camera time, now it's like Elmo is the star of the show with Elmo's World and all. :( Does anyone remember Snuffy? I always wonder what happened to him... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/grover-versus-elmo-who-is-the-better-muppet#post-23439 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:00:32 +0000 mrbee 23439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was researching this online and found this response: "Super Grover trumps them both." So true!!</p> <p>But seriously, sometimes I get sad for Grover. He was pretty much a star... and then Elmo came along. Basically a small, red version of Grover with a higher pitched voice. And then suddenly, Grover was yesterday's news.</p> <p>Then again, Charlie loooves Elmo and I do appreciate the power of the mighty E(lmo). But through hard work and the power of YouTube, we were finally able to get Charlie to fall in love with Super Grover. We even got him a Super Grover shirt, which he loves. Who knows, maybe next Halloween he will want to be Super Grover! A dad can dream.</p> <p>Anyway, pros and cons abound on both sides. So I put it to you. Who is the better Muppet: Grover or Elmo? </p>
