Classic Sesame Street: Truck Ride to the Reservation

A little trivia - their truck is a '65 Ford F-100 Stepside. (My grandpa owned one. lol)

The fruit stand part was very cool, I got to learn about exotic fruit

I tried sugar cane once. It's great. And I LOVE papaya juice. Very sweet & high in vitamin C.

What's the song that we start to hear at 0:55?

It's interesting.

I'd hoped the Muppet Wiki's episode guide would identify the song, but no such luck--could anyone else out there help, please?

@hoopersghost

It's called "Paniolo Country".

[DanaAbel30]

That means "Cowboy" in Hawaiian.

I would love to see kids' programming more like this today. I stopped watching TV eight years ago but already by that time all the kids' shows I saw seemed to be trying to force them into being miniature adults mentally, but gave them very little credit for the ability to experience complex emotions and appreciate aesthetics. The Sesame Street of the 1970s and 1980s seemed to assume (rightly) more emotive and aesthetic capabilities, so it was a "safe place"...and kids still learned so much.
