What is it with Sesame Street and tap?


Today the number of the day is 7, and to show us what 7 is, Murray shows us seven tapdancers. Later on, two models in a store window perform a number called "blah blah something about the Ritz." I'm okay with all that but I'd like to see more dances shown on the show, too, rather than constant tap-tap-tap-dancing.

Don't watch it if it bugs ya that much.

It's a popular form of dance and it contains movements that the muppets can easily mimic; not to mention, kids have always responded well to tap.

"Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!"
