Trouble identifying a 1973 episode

[ISNorden]

I recently downloaded a classic episode from Noggin's "Sesame Street Unpaved", and am trying to find its number and original airdate. (The person who posted the torrent file identified the show only as "Sesame Street 1973"; that apparently means the year, since Snuffy was still imaginary in this one.) Muppet Wikia doesn't list anything with enough details similar to this one, so I'm hoping a fellow old-schooler could help:

Plot: Snuffy walks around the street on his own, hoping that the grown-ups will see him (but ends up counting everyone who doesn't); a reporter does see him, but everyone else loudly dismisses those claims.

Sponsors: P (seen in "P/Painting" toon and "My Favorite Letter" song); 2 (seen in "Two Little Dolls" song and a Harvey Kneeslapper prank).

Other Sketches/Songs: "Hard-Working Dog", Bert's ice-skating dream; Ernie's overreactions to an emotional movie; Kermit News Flash on Humpty-Dumpty; Grover and Maria's lecture on the face; Roosevelt Franklin demonstrates "loud" and "soft" for classmates.

Anybody out there who can ID the episode based on those data? I'd appreciate all the help I can get!

That was actually a 1975 episode, and it was episode #796 and was the Season 7 premire. It originally aired on December 1, 1975.

Thank you, LincolnHeights! No wonder the Wiki didn't help, when the person who uploaded the episode got the year wrong... *high-5*

Is there any way you can post a link here so I can watch the episode as well? I haven't seen that one in a while and it would be a good way for classic fans on the board who never saw Snuffy when he was imaginary, to enjoy it. What website did this come from?

A 53-minute episode takes up *LOTS* of file space (about 200 megabytes in the format this person used), so they're not available for direct viewing online. I've got 26 of those episodes accessible from my computer, though, if you have BitTorrent or a similar file-sharing client. Here are the links to the .torrent files online.

http://www.torrentbox.com/torrent_details?id=94939 (Vintage Sesame Street, Volume 1: 1969-74)

http://www.torrentbox.com/torrent_details?id=94940 (Vintage Sesame Street, Volume 2: 1975-85)

Episode 796, of course, is in the second half; I needed to ID it so I could place it correctly. Enjoy yourselves, old-school fans!

Okay, I've got BiTorrent, and for some reason, the clips will not pop up. I don't know what's wrong.

Correction. Snuffy wasn't imaginary. He just wasn't seen by the grown ups. Also that episode was from 1975 because from what I remember that was what the copyright date said.

BitTorrent files are basically lists of files that the creator allows other users to download; they wouldn't contain my episode collection the way a .zip archive does. You'll need to go into the program, select the BitTorrent file, and then select the episode(s) you want from the list in there. The downloading should proceed from there.

P.S. I'm using another client called µTorrent, which had no trouble listing the episode files when I clicked the right links; your client may not be configured correctly, though that's a shot in the dark.

Okay, I have WMV player/QuickTime 7.0.4 and Bitorrent 3.2.2a, and Real Player. As soon as I downloaded all these last night, I could not get anything.

Or are there certain versions of those applications to install in order to see them? Really, I tried and tried real hard so many times last night. Nothing. Frustrating, because I want to get them so badly. How did you do it?

Or do you have to become a member of that site?

You'll need to ask for support on the TorrentBox forums, since I have no idea what's causing the problem; you're the first user to mention having trouble with my files. If they think the problem is at my end, I can always re-create the files from scratch and upload them again.
