[Trund27]

Trapezoid rocks!

[drummond40]

he looks more like wolverine rather than cyclops

[simplecoffee]

I think I'm in love with that triangle. And is the trapezium a Mafioso?

[BizzarreProductions]

Is that Trapezoid a cyclops...?

[dorourke105]

He has two eyes it's just they're so squished together it makes him look like a cyclops

[StroutsInk]

LOL the stuff Sesame Street comes up with

[Macy64CP]

[grytbiten]

haha sweet

I remember having this on the "Shalom Sesame: Aleph-Bet Telethon" video. They had the shape names in Hebrew, but everything else was in English. I kept thinking that's what they were saying (and I'm like SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE!) until I saw it on the Sesame Street Numbers CD-ROM, and then I'm like: Whew. Maybe I was hearing things.

[WaddaWhinner]

Does anyone remember another shape episode that had line drawings that "danced" to Dave Bruebeck's "Take Five"? I think it aired in the early years of Sesame Street.

I remember LOVING hearing the octagon identify himself.

[bearcattony]

anybody remember a bizarre scanimation with a shape blindly trying to fit in the correct spot, with a awful whirring sound and a plunk anytime it collides with the edges of the rectangle (whirrrrrr, bonk bonk), when it does, it flashes (ding ding). In later versions, when done with a triangle, it is Telly's dream of triangles, hearing his mumbling.

[Trund27]

@bearcattony Damn, no. Now I want to see that video! Sounds funny

[mariobros32096]

Could you possibly do a Take 2 on this? The sound is off sync.

[wattamack4]

If they release a video about shapes,they should include this cartoon.

[jeopardy60611]

I don't remember seeing trapezoids, pentagons, and octagons 30 years ago on Sesame Street. Perhaps those shapes hadn't been invented yet. :-) Boy, was I surprised when I learned in 3rd grade that a square can also be called a rectangle.

[ISNorden]

Thank goodness for the days before Sesame Street dumbed down its material; who says kids can recognize only four basic shapes?

[jbl1975]

I never felt they dumbed it down. After all they went from teaching kids how to count to only 20 to 40.

[ISNorden]

And they went right back to 20 when the show's format changed drastically (same characters doing the same material in the same order) around Season 33. *sigh*

[jbl1975]

Really? I didn't know.
