Memorable Moments in TV: The James Earl Jones Sesame Street Countdown

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaZyxCAYuoc

Look I know you’ve all probably seen this.  And frankly I just don’t care because chances are it’s been a very long time since you have.   There’s just everything creepy about this clip.   Honestly I don’t find one thing in here that a child would possibly like.

Actually, scratch that.  Jones does kind of smile near the end of the countdown and there’s a funny little “zip!” kind of a thing that happens so kids might like that.   But honestly is this how you want to teach your children to count?

Especially when the dude was in his Othello days?  Hmmmm.

  1. Maybe I was weird, because when I was a kid I thought James Earl Jones was pretty badass. The fact that the dude could count to ten, and just disappear like that at the end of the video would have solidified that position. Then again, at 3, I was still pretty impressed with alot of things that weren’t that impressive.
