Here's another Sesame episode which you can access at the Paley Center:

I looked in the editing history and found out this article was actually created in 2005 (many years before the episodes finally reached the archive). This is one of the most ancient articles in the history of the Muppet Wiki.

Why would they just randomly skip over an episode like that if it’s not even lost? :confused:

Mind you I’m not familiar if there are other episodes not loaded up there.

I get that, but you’d think if they were planning on loading episodes season by season they’d have like a folder library of episodes by season on the computer or something. :smirk:

At last: a full guide for Episode 560, which has been on Muppet Wiki for god knows how long! I remember seeing this at the Paley Center in 2002, back when it was still the Museum of Television and Radio. The name of this episode was "Sesame Street: Game Show Parodies"...sure, it had Beat the Time and the Trading Game...but that was about it. 🤷‍♂️

Oooh, been curious to see 560 fully guided for over a decade! Been wanting to see that one at the Paley center but never got the oppurtunity. Next time I go to NY I’m definitely saving my time for it.
