The other side of the float, behind 123 Sesame Street, that we, the television viewer, did NOT see was Hooper's store.
I'm sure they had lesser-known Muppets back there (eg, Natasha, Honkers, Ingrid and Humphrey) that weren't as ready for prime-time as the popular staples (Count, Herry...
I remember reading that the puppeteers who perform the Sesame Street Muppets at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade are usually freelance puppeteers from the New York area, and it's usually a one-time gig, to fill in all the spots needed for the characters. I'm sure there are actual Muppeteers there...
Yeah, I think if you want to see a LOT of SESAME STREET-related material, then the Maryland / Washington D.C. area is the place to go, BECAUSE:
1) You can see at the Smithsonian
- the original SESAME STREET sign (1969 - 198?)
- a replica of Oscar the Grouch in his trash can
- a replica of...
Sesame Street began in 1970. I've seen the first issue for sale on Ebay and it's a drawing of Oscar the Grouch.
Sesame Street Magazine is still in publication, but you can only get it as a bonus through subscribing to Parents Magazine. We still get it for our daughter, but the catch is, we...
Here's a picture of the original Sesame Street sign, 1969 - late 70's, as it appears behind a glass case in the Smithsonian Institute:

The original Sesame Street street sign from the first ten years now resides behind a glass case at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
It's framed above Oscar in his trash can (not an original puppet, more like the poseable Muppet one) and next to the original Howdy...
Boober Gorg,
Are you familiar with another obscure special called:
Sesame Street at Night? (with the question mark at the end, which signifies that it was weird to see Sesame Street in prime time) that aired in 1976
and featured Gene Shalit of the Today Show,
who also showed the...
I love Sesame Street too at 34.
Here's a question we should all ask ourselves:
Do you think we all like SS because it's something from our childhood that we cling to because it reminds us of fond memories from when we were young?
Is Sesame Street like "comfort food" for the soul?
No, I meant Roscoe Orman. The bald Gordon we all know and love. He won the part over Robert "Benson" Guillaume, starting with the 1974-1975 season.
I read it in an interview with Roscoe Orman.
For question #7, why were there three Gordons:
Matt Robinson left b/c, as a writer and producer, he took a job to write for the Norman Lear series: "Sanford and Son" which began in 1972. Robinson went on to write for "The Cosby Show."
It's my guess that Hal Mller just wasn't working as an...
No, no. The credits weren't really "animated."
It was simply a loooong vertical drawing of the Muppets and the camera simply panned down the drawing.
It started at the top with Grover flying the plane in the sky, and it panned all the way down to Oscar on the street holding the Sesame...
Well, home-made.
Rate this guy's handiwork on a scale from 1 to 10. I found it on Ebay. He's basically selling a 40 dollar floor lamp with a home-made SESAME sign attached to it, but it's not half-bad...
I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that the Number Painter skits didn't debut until 1972.
None of the Noggin shows have them until 1972, but I could be wrong.
Ahhhhh.
That was classic SESAME STREET 1969-1970.
Very psychedelic 1969 style animation.
If I'm not mistaken, the same animation company that did the Beatles movie YELLOW SUBMARINE also did this skit as well.
