Newbie Question re: "'Unpaved"

[pipmama]

When you all refer to Sesame Street "Unpaved", what does that mean? I am guessing older episodes, but specifically which years?

If someone could explain this I would appreciate it! (I'm still learning)

Its old episodes that came on Noggin back then. They don't show that much anymore but like 69's, 70's and 80's. There was another one that showed 90's episodes too. It was cool but I didn't have Sattileat (can't spell that good) so I didn't get that much showings and when they would show the 90's I never thought of recording so I missed alot. Hope this helps? Ur welcome.

Are the episodes actually called "Unpaved" on Noggin or is that a term you use?

It was called "Sesame Street Unpaved." U know that book called SSupaved? I think thats where they got the conspeted. It showed when it would start off alot of signs then Bert and Ernie from behind and them watching traffic go by then a shot of Cookie's hand waving a cab down then a mancover w/ the words Sesame Street then Unpaved would show up then Big Bird's feet would show up on screen then a yellow feather fall on the mancover. Thats what would happen then it would start the episode. Understand now?
