Sesame Street repeats old stuff in their new programming... my kids don't watch it much, but I've noticed some of the really funky retro stuff incorporated even in new episodes.

It could have been a tube malfunctioning in my grandparents TV set at the time, but I seem to remember that on some of the earliest episodes of Sesame Street, Oscar The Grouch was a golden yellowish color.

that was really cool. I remember most of those videos too. I had forgot about some of those.

The other day I was searching on youtube for Mr Rogers' bubbleland opera. The song from it was something like "There's Never Any Trouble Here in Bubbleland, Bubbleland, Bubbleland"...

But I couldn't find any videos of it.

Oscar The Grouch originally was orange, but by the time I saw the show in the late 70's, he was green. Many of the clips brought back memories, especially the 12 Ladybugs song. That one with the blocks is still pretty cool today.

The only thing missing from the clips was the snow and ghosting we used to get on channel 13 :lol:

This is my favorite - a take-off of one of my favorite old R&B tunes "Float On" by The Floaters:

GREAT STUFF GUYS!
Those clips really brought back a lot of memories! The interesting thing is that I remember many of those songs to this day, but I couldn't quite place where I had heard them from! The space alien skit with the telephone though was one that definitely stuck in my mind from a long time ago! It's just as funny then as it is now!

My own Sesame Street experience was vastly different. I turned 5 in 1974 and PBS wasn't anything like it is now. We had Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Villa Alegre (anyone remember that?!) and Electric Company and Zoom.


Yep! I was born in 1974, so I'm not too much older than you. I remember turing on the big Motorola console TVat 4 O'clock in the basement at 4 O'clock and waiting what seemed like a millenium for it to warm up!

Our PBS station was a UHF station, so it didn't have ghosting, but it was a terribly snowy picture unless you adjusted the bow-tie antenna just right. I got to be a good TV tuner even at the young age of 4! You mention channel 13. That reminds me of the line for the Billy Joel Song "Pressure"

"All my life it's channel 13, Sesame Street, What does it mean!! !"

That was lots of fun! Now, I gotta find a DVD with old Sesame street skits on it!! ! You know, I was thinking that the originator of the music video perhaps got the idea from watching Sesame Street

PBS stations didn't have commercials, but do any of you all remember the LOOONNNGG intermission that was between shows? It seemed like forever, just staring at the PBS logo waiting for the next show! I think that was because back then, the TV shows came to the stations on 16mm film, and the station had to rewind the last show, andthread up the next show on the projector.
