Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

[sesamemuppetfan]

Here's one that @fuzzygobo has talked about at least once or twice in another thread, specifically the last 2 scenes:

Episode 0671

At an Eternal-Con panel in 2019, Bob McGrath reminisced of this storyline, recalling "...I came out of the can looking like I was run over by a bulldozer..." in the final scene.

Episode 0287

A day of rain

Episode 0289

Oscar and Bob both like the rain, but for different reasons ("Rain Falls", which is a different version from the one seen in 514, the latter of which is actually from season 4 and not 3 as we originally thought)

Episode 0319

And finally (partially found, though) ... the debut of Slimey the Worm!

Episode 0202

I was really happy to find Slimey's debut.

As some of you know, it's one of the 60 episodes that Sesame Workshop has lost over the years.

So, the guide was written based on the script and we were able to find screenshots from the dubbed Sesamstrasse episode.

@scarecroe I know this was mentioned in the potential outlets section of the article, so I wanted to ask if you guys had plans to track down any local PBS stations to see if they might contain some of the missing episodes, whether it be now or in the near future? I was just wondering

One user has sent out emails to various PBS stations; we have a sandbox page tracking responses. So far, it's mostly "nos."

Ah, well that’s a shame.
