How many feathers has Big Bird shed?

Surfing around MSN this morning, I see that Sesame Street is 35. Of course it's a staple in our home, what with a four-year-old present. (I wish they'd make some new episodes, but I've been largely spared since I started working at The Store.)

I think it would be funny if they did a cross between Sesame Street and West Side Story. Maybe there could be a rival street named for a spice -- say, Coriander Avenue -- with its own set of Muppets who do stylized musical battle with the crew from Sesame Street. Maybe it's just my warped imagination, but a death-match between Elmo and Fozzy Bear sounds pretty funny to me.
