Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

[hooperfan]

It's pretty crazy how they were willing to show season 1 E&B and season 7 E&B just a couple skits apart from each other back in the day.

Even more bizarre was the showing of David clips from the 70s, and the next day a "new" segment of him would appear, really showing such a drastic difference in appearance

Speaking of which, I always assumed that the segment with David roller skating in Central Park was taped in the late-1970s, and when I saw a version that had modern wrap-arounds presenting it as fantasy, I thought they just shot those so they could continue airing it when David looked a lot different - only to be surprised that it all debuted in season 12. I felt he looked more like his 1970s self in the flashback and his 1980s self in the wrap-arounds (maybe it was shot earlier and held over until he looked more different so they shot some wrap-arounds).

Anyway, the wiki now has a guide for an interesting episode with an adult character believing in Snuffy (even though she doesn't see him): https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_0965

And from what I've heard in discussion/on the Snuffleupagus page, Big Bird informs her of his music entrance and she hears it. Perhaps Big Bird should have told the others about the musical cue so they'd know to show up and see him. Might have been more effective than a secret word.

I wouldn't say Mrs. Sharp full-on believes in Snuffy, but she seems to be leaning toward the possibility.

I was fascinated to learn that Snuffy's music could be heard in-universe though.

Yeah, I think Big Bird mentions that in another episode, but I can't remember which.

I read some wiki forum discussion before reading the guide, it looked like people there said she believed. I did look at the scene description and thought it seemed like she didn't at first, though I wasn't sure.

Yeah, I think Big Bird mentions that in another episode, but I can't remember which.

I feel like he says "I think I hear a Snuffleupagus" when he finishes the race in episode 1836, I think the music plays but I can't remember for sure.
