Here is my 20th and final post from my B&W "episode 179" ebay tape. I only skipped a couple of boring segments, including a "Roosevelt Franklin" muppet segment. I remember the character from my childhood but the segment wasn't that great. I would love to get some of these in color someday!

Just so you know, that's Little Bird announcing the sponsors.

Yes, there is Little Bird who definitely announced the sponsors from the episode. Voiced by Fran Brill who plays Zoe, Prairie Dawn, and Glory from My Little Pony: Rescue from Midnight Castle

I'd rather live on the 1971 Sesame Street instead of the 2019 Sesame Street.

This sponsor announcement from little bird sounds very dumb. Please dub out into another character's voice and edit it.

Mr Hooper!! He was awesome. I cried when they showed the eposode when they told the kids he died. I loved this show as a kid. Programing back then was way better. Kids today don't know what they are missing!

MR HOOPER on the CTW sign. There was a good man. So sad when he passed away. Very difficult moment when they let the kids know too.

Same here...I'm also 26 and can relate to everything you said. I've seen the clip of Mr. Hooper's passing though and I think it was very well done.

I know, we got colour in '75 and Sesame Street started over here in '71, I was just saying how lucky I was being born some decade and a half after that.

This originally aired on January 14, 1971 and was re-aired on August 5, 1971 during the show's summer break.

I miss Mr. Hooper too!! I cried also when I saw the episode when he died. In fact, when I was watching some old clips of him on here it brought tears to my eyes. Hoopers store just isn't the same without Mr. Hooper. Heck, Sesame Street will never be the same without him.

@mstatz When Jim Henson died, "Sesame Street" had 20 years' worth of Muppet sketches accumulated. Assuming that "Sesame Street" DID indeed recycle some of those sketches, it's possible that neddx might have seen sketches with Roosevelt Franklin.

I remember Sesame Street in the early 70's (I was born in 1968) and it was NOTHING like it is today. It is like another TV show now (and it stinks). I was almost 22 and in the army when Henson passed away. It went down hill from there. It stayed relatively the same from 1969 to 1989 but it got worse quickly from there.

I just checked out your age and considering that the Roosevelt Franklin character was phased out about 10 years before you were born, I seriously doubt you remember him...unless, of course, you just blatantly lied about your age for some reason!

Even though I wasn't around, shows looked so simple back then, but still entertaining. Now they try too hard.

That's something I love about Sesame Street now as an adult--they help to teach children the reality of life in a way that's not too scary for them. In fact, just a few days after 9/11, I was flipping through the channels and came across Sesame Street right before it going to start. Elmo and Maria were on talking about it and telling the kids not to be scared of what they were seeing on TV. I think it was really great that they did that. I searched for the clip but I could'nt find it.

@SeanElGatoTelevision Actually, this episode is from 1971, not 1974. I'm sure most of you know that color television was introduced in the U.S. in the mid 1950s, and became the standard by the 1970s, although even then there were still some black-and-white TV sets existing.

Yes, definitely check it out. It's not an easy thing to tell young children but I think they pulled it off great.

R.I.P. Caroll Spinney (Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch), Matt Robinson (the original Gordon from the first 3 seasons) and Will Lee (Mr. Hooper). You will all be missed in Sesame Street’s neighborhood. Well, at least Eric Jacobson is doing Oscar the Grouch and Matt Vogel is doing Big Bird now. And Alan (Alan Muraoka) is currently working at Hooper’s Store, along with Gordon and Susan’s nephew, Chris (Chris Knowings). The Gordon we know now (Roscoe Orman) is still there, along with Bob (Bob McGrath) and Susan (Loretta Long), even though they semi-retired from the show in 2016.

(sigh) I've been looking for the video that showed big bird and kids playing in central park, that's the only ending I remember. Long time ago they showed that ending a few times, and POOF, it disappeared. I miss that ending, and it seems like no ones even aware of it. I know im a big boy now, but please is there someone out there who knows what the smokes im talkin' about?
