i of the memorable ones was when they would show pictures taken around the N.Y. area and David would ask can you find any squares, triangles etc. i wonder if at 1 time all of those were shown in 1 entire episode? rememeber 1 segment David said i got another 1 for ya, and in my time i only rememeber only seeing 1 per episode.

I remember one where he tried to show the Two Headed Monster how to draw shapes with their finger, but they ended up drawing scribble-scrabble. That's about all I can remember of that one.

Can we just ask once? I don't always get a reply to what I post all the time.

Generally I try to. It's just when people keep doing it too much at 1 time or keep at it over and over again that's when it gets bothersome.

Can't remember how many of these segments were in each episode but I do remember them. They were very educational, I forgot about these shape segments with David until you posted it. David was one of my favorite characters on Sesame Street.

Her'e a list of them.

Looks for triangles at an abandoned storefront which has those whatever you call those triangualer things you see cover vacant stores.


A door knob.


A brick wall with a rectangualer sign and of course the bricks are all rectangles.


A fruit market with round fruit. Can't remember what kind it was.



1 side note, I think when these were first made they were probably shown all at 1 time because 1 of those you'd hear David say '' I got another 1 for you."


Also there were 3 segments where he would have us looking for shapes on SS. He'd be off camera saying, ''Hey. It's time to play the shape game.
The 3 would be look for shapes in the area near BB's nest, the play area, and The Fix-it Shop. Then he's says what would all these shape looks like without SS? Them the scenery would disappear and we's see the shapes that were traced by themselves.
