What do you think are the best Sesame Street sketches from 1969 untill the end of the 1970s to not be available on video? What do you think are the best ones not currently available on video? I'm not talking about ones that you just like very well, and it can be some that you don't really like much, but everyone else seems to like. There are some 1970s skits that I really like that I don't really think would be considered "the best", such as the skit where Kermit draws an M, the skit where Grover gives Kermit a weather machine, That's What Readings All About, and ABC Disco, and there are some skits that many people consider to be the "best" that I don't really care for much, like Ladybug Picnic and The King of 8.

Here is what I consider to be "The best of the seventies available on video":
Rubber Duckie
C is for Cookie
The King of 8
Sesame Street News: Rupunzel
The Alligator King
The King of 8
Over, Under, Around, and Through
I Love Trash

Honorable Mention: Pinball Number Count (some of them have been released, and all have been edited together into a special feature)

And here are my picks for "the best of seventies Sesame Street not available on video":

The Ballad of Casey McPhee
One and One Make Two
Sesame Street News: Pinnocchio
Herry and John John count to 20
