Sesame Street Unpaved Episodes

[scarecroe]

Why would posting SS guides be a "no-no"?

 

[Phillip]

Everything's fine... MuppetDude did nothing wrong. Really I am impressed with the list he has put together.

26. Animation: best described as silhouette and "sand" animation demonstrating letter E with hill-billy style banjo music.

27. Final scene: street scene with Count still up on lamp post sign. It's now dark and the Count watches as everyone turns out their lights, lock up and go home to bed. Luis is the last to turn his out and he locks up the fix it shop and starts to walk home when he suddenly notices the count on top of the sign post. Luis asks him what he's doing up there and the count tells him he's counting the lights going out and he's waiting for the one at the top of the Sesame Street sign, the tenth one, to go out. Luis tells him it won't go out untill morning so he might as well forget it and go home. The count replies "go home? And miss counting ten lights? Never, I will sleep here!" says goodnight to the light and falls asleep still clinging to the lamp post. Bert's voice over is heard saying Sesame Street brought to you today by the letter "E" and the number "2".


More to come, stay tuned!

Muppetdude, please e-mail me (click on my profile and there will be an option). I have been looking for one of those skits, and I was wondering if I could bug you for a detailed description. Thanks so much!

BlueAM

I remember three AM's that wait for the bus.

The first one is the Fat Blue one, the tall orange lady and a green boy that looks like Farley. I have this clip on tape from the 1987-88 season from PBS.

Ohh..it had one of my favorite letter animations-the sand ones! I never watched the 1974 premiere, but did you think this episode is really sponsored by the letter E and the number 2?

sesame street reruns 1970's- early 1980's

Do you have any of the episodes from the 1970's or 1980's (don't know the ep #'s) with the "pockets" song? Whenever my mom watched sesame street with me and that song was on, she'd sing along with it. Let me know if you do. I remember the song starts out "what do we do without pockets..... pockets are perfectly fine".
