Hunt For Happiness

[GuySmileyfan]

Hi everybody,

I found this funny classic Sesame Street's three part sketch called Hunt For Happiness. It's a silly sketch which is suppose to be a soap opera, but this deals with problem solving and frustration. Here it is and enjoy:http://www.livevideo.com/video/i-heart-ctw/415E14ED39174A2EA90D052C2C430D50/hunt-for-happiness.aspx

Thanks for sharing! I loved it when the boy said their problem wasn't over due to there being mud on the soap.

IF you check out more of the site you'll find other great clips, including some from the SS test shows.

Love the way Grandma said "Well, this IS a soap opera!" before suggesting the kids use soap...little cracks in the fourth wall added to the parody's over-the-top humor.

I love this sketch. Does it have a VHS or DVD release, or is Hunt for Happiness trapped in the Sesame Street vaults?

 

[ISNorden]

It's not released in any commercial format yet; the sketch is part of an early 70s episode (#158), which ran as part of Sesame Street Unpaved back when Noggin still did that. If you can get hold of that episode, the clip is yours!

Awww. I wish that it was on home video. Tape trading is so risky. I lost thirty five bucks through that once.

 

[Oscarfan]

Well you traded money for a tape. The folks here trade tapes for tapes.

I don't have any tapes. I could make some, but then I'd only have modern Sesame Street.

I can get you a copy of that clip by itself, for free. Just PM me your e-mail address, and let me know whether you need it as a Windows Media clip (WMV) or QuickTime (MOV). Thanks!
