You are not alone my friend, I too wish to find the pilot episode of Sesame Street. Hopefully, Noggin will play the Unpaved episodes again.

When you guys say pilot, I'm assuming you mean the first episode aired on November 10, 1969, correct? Not the Sesame Street pilot episode that aired in select markets during July 1969.

Noggin is NOT going to play the Unpaved episodes again, unfortunately. It's gone, history. Wait about 10 years, nobody will even know that they ever had such a thing. It was a filler, and nothing more. They only had all those old shows in the beginning because they needed to fill space. They don't want old programming, they want new programming.

:rolleyes: Please, I thought we were past that phase of pessimism.

Anyway, as far as I know, the July 1969 pilot (the second one Phillip mentioned) exists only in the vaults of Sesame Workshop, but has been seen in fragments on A&E. However, some of us have a complete copy of the November 10 debut episode. How it got circulated eludes me, but I'm glad I have it. :smile:

The original pilot looked really strange... some of the human cast was different (notably Gordon), there were no Muppets on the street set, and Bert and Ernie were in this weird place with a lot of pipes.

I think the room with pipes in which Ernie and Bert lived in the ORIGINAL July 1969 pilot (not the November 1969 pilot) was supposed to signify that they lived in the basement.
