I think we've all had a long week. You deserve a little old school Sesame Street :-) Originally aired on January 26, 1970, it's Episode 56 of the best darn kids' show ever! CLICK ON SHOW MORE FOR INFO AND LINKS!
The main street story has Mr. Hooper (Will Lee) making the orange version of Oscar (Caroll Spinney) an awful sounding baked bean sundae. Gospel and civil rights legend, Mahalia Jackson, is the big time musical guest singing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands". 58 years old at the time, she retired in 1971, and died of heart failure and diabetes complications in 1972.
Other than many cartoon repeats, we have the debut of Kermit's (Jim Henson) Lecture about the word IN with an early green version of Grover (Frank Oz) and a monster surprise, Fred, performed by Jim Henson with a slowed down voice; the repeat of Kermit's Hair Lecture with Beautiful Day Monster; Ernie (Jim Henson) and Bert (Frank Oz) play the What Happens Next game, also new; Buddy (Brandon Maggart) and Jim (James Catusi) pack shoeboxes; Bob (Bob McGrath) welcomes a great horned owl and a Dorset lamb; and Gordon (Matt Robinson) reads "Dandelion" by Don Freeman. Enjoy!
