That's a correct list. Originally there were only 65 Unpaved shows, but in May 1999 (when episode 1 debuted), the two Star Wars episodes were added to the rotation.
Those were interesting facts. I thought Roscoe started playing Gordon in 1973. Also, I just want to get a few things straight. Was Roscoe the only Gordon who DIDN'T see Snuffy? I thought Big Bird started trying to introduce Snuffy to people when he first appeared.
Also, I thought that Maria and Luis falling in love was on the same episode as Big Bird and Snuffy going exploring. I remember that one because they saw Maria and Luis holding hands and asking them what that was about.
That's a good outline. I'm just curious about a few of those things. Also, why would Mr. Hooper go back to school? Did he drop out or something? He doesn't seem like the type of person who would do that. Then again, I wasn't around in the 70s to see that episode.
I remember Big Bird tried to introduce Snuffy (or rather Mr. Snuffleupagus!) to everyone, but Snuffy kept wandering off so no one else believed Big Bird. It used to really bother me as a little kid!
Although...in the summer of 2002, ssetta tried to keep SSU alive, but it doesn't work, because preschoolers like the new SS format better, and because it costs a million dollars to buy the new CTW channel. SSU plays on weekends at 3:30 AM on the rest of the year 2002 until early 2003 (like VERY early 2003-January 25, 2003). From now on, SSU is only playing at 4AM on Monday mornings. I can't watch SSU before school! I think I only have two episodes, in which they are "Oscar's Stop Signs" (from 1970 featuring the original GREEN Oscar. #162) and "Rainstorm" from 1972. I wish I could see every other Unpaved episode.
I STILL don't get why they can't show Unpaved during the overnight hours during the week. It's not like their target audience "tweens" are UP at 3AM on a school night!
They can't show Unpaved during the overnight hours during the week because it doesn't go with either Noggin, nor The N. It was for preschoolers 25 years ago, and in that program director's opinion, it isn't for anyone to this day. Although I don't necessarily agree with that lady. But, very sadly, I don't think there's anything we can do to save it. I know, it's very sad.
