    If you're asking for blue Grover's FIRST APPEARANCE, then it's most certainly: "One of These Things" with Susan and Bob, for sure, from the season premiere of 1970.

    Exactly How Does the Stoop Work?

    Of course there are hidden trap doors that are virtually invisible on camera, but I wouldn't be surprised if the hidden area is built lower than the actual sidewalk. Carroll Spinney even said that many Bubsy-Berkley water musicals were built on that stage at Kaufman-Austoria and the sidewalk...

    Moving the Set

    I would assume so, yes. Considering their budget, I'd say recylcing the old sets was probably what they did.

    Moving the Set

    Well, the show has moved three times. The first years of the show was taped at a converted movie theater on Broadway on Upper West Side. Carroll Spinney told me you could still see the old move theater dome above 123 Sesame Street if you looked up. Then it moved to Teletape Studios...

    The Big Bird song "ABC-DEF-GHI" made its recording debut on the 1970 Sesame Street Book and Record. Not sure when it premiered on the show, though.

    The Me song

    I know, because I'm looking at the back of the "C is for Cookie" album as I type this, and it says: "ME / YO" That's how I know.

    were the test pilots made in 1968?

    There were five test shows made in July 1969. They were broadcast only on a UHF station to 100 families in Pennsylvania and they were paid 100 dollars each to watch and tell them what they thought. The actual national premiere on NET was November 10, 1969, 5 months later.

    Question about"A Magical Halloween Adventure"

    It's a new special featuring Zoe, Telly, and Elmo. It's actually very well done. Very informative for younger kids and teaches them all about Halloween and other autumn-based activities, such as hayrides, harvesting vegetables, and going apple-picking.

    Gordon appreciation thread

    Here's a piece of trivia: When ROSCOE ORMAN auditioned for the role of Gordon in 1974, he beat out Robert Guillaume, who went on to play Benson in "Soap" and "Benson." Reason? Orman states: "Guillaume didn't have that 'Gordon thing.'"
