These all come from archive.org's 9/11 archive, containing archived content from many stations broadcast from September 11, 2001-September 17 of that year. https://archive.org/details/911/day/20010911. Now I'm just wondering, how did that person actually get access to these episodes? Because on the website when I hover my mouse over the Sesame Street clips on WETA, it says "this segment is unavailable"Well, what do ya' know!(I become more southern when i'm excited) I remember all of those sponsors, and I think the bug episode is one of the Elmo's World segments that I remember the most from when I was little.

Also, some interesting things about the second episode listed. For one thing, it's interesting to see what must have been one of David Rudman's first performances as Cookie Monster. He's really come a long way since then. Also, it's super weird seeing Ruth Buzzi play a character on the street that isn't Ruthie.
