    Storyline

    Edit
    The setting is in a small street in a city where children and furry puppet monsters learn about numbers, the alphabet and other pre-school subjects taught in commercial spots, songs and games. —Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com>

    • Trivia
      In 2004, Cookie Monster revealed that, before trying cookies for the first time, his name was Sid.
    • Goofs
      During the final stanza of the Anything Muppets' song "J Friends", when the four Muppets jump up at the line "Let's jump with Jane", the hair and forehead of Muppet performer Frank Oz are briefly visible at the bottom of the screen.
    • Quotes

      Old King Cole: What ho! Bring me my royal pipe. And step on it.

      Kermit the Frog: [to the TV audience] At this point, you might think we'd go for the cheap joke. But we're not going to.

    • Crazy credits
      Each episode is numbered, and this number is displayed at the start of the episode.
    • Alternate versions
      In 2006, selected episodes from the first five seasons of the series (1969-1973) were released to DVD. Due to rights issues regarding music and some footage, slight edits were made to these episodes, sometimes involving substituting other segments. In addition, the 5 complete episodes in the set (entitled Sesame Street: Old School Vol. 1) are each preceded by newly made animated segments introducing each episode.

    Sesame Street!
    I always caught this show on television every now and then. The show was put together and written well and the people that was on show was good. I am surprised that this show has aired in TV for such and great length of time. Sesame Street was/is one of the most watched by the youngsters. The show would have like little teachings for them in various formats for them such as animated and such. There is some funny stuff on this show with Oscar, The Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie. I would only recommend this television show to young kids unless the adults are interested in seeing the actors and the hilarious characters or if you want watch something you haven't seen as young boy or girl then this can bring memories back from the past make you feel like your a kid again. If that is the case then I recommend you watch this show!
