Benedict Cumberbatch and the 'Sesame Street' Muppets are Your Must See Clip of the Day
In a truly awesome moment that appears to have been put together during Cumberbatch's appearance at the recent Television Critics Association Press Tour, Cumberbatch hangs out with the Count and Murray, a couple of the beloved Muppets from iconic children's show Sesame Street. Murray manages to get in some Sherlock jokes, including a funny reference to finale episode His Last Vow. A battle of wits over - what else - counting ensues, the Count is called in to assist, and the result is basically perfection. Plus, you know, there's a lesson about math in there too. So, it's fun for the whole family.
While I hate to disappoint the droves of fans who seemed to expect Cumberbatch to make an actual appearance on the show by pointing out that this is just a video clip and not an entire episode, the spot is so awesome that you'll get over your Sesame Street sadness pretty quickly. It's that cute.

How am I supposed to get anything productive done today after this? How?
I mean, how cute is this? It even makes me feel more kindly disposed toward math. How much did YOU love it?
