[chrispleasantable]

These were the same credits used for Season 4

[BlueEnvoy4413]

Bert and Ernie look stoned!

[rtuckerivey]

This is from I GUESS Episode 540 but I'm not so sure

[teanster123]

Little Guy Forevers! Oh Boy!

[teanster123]

Love it. Well how do you like the credits girls?

The Girls: Love It.

Hal Miller plays Gordon here. I remember him, and being slightly confused when they switched to Roscoe Orman, who was bald. Miller didn't last long - I think just a season or two between Matt Robinson (who was great) and Orman.

[ACLTony]

Which was the season where the view from a New York City subway (El) train was show? It looked like the IRT #2 line.

[Wellch]

I remember Mr. Hooper. Will Lee was one of my favorites.

[KPurdie]

Does anyone know if this was released on any record?

[murielsartre]

I don't remember this Gordon. The Gordon I remember was Roscoe Orman. I don't recall these credits, either, and I should, because I was 4/5 years old and definitely watching this show at the time.

The credits from the following year, where a car is going up the Taconic State Parkway, are the ones I remember.

[jwgreek8606]

When I was young I used to watch Game shows after Sesame Street and it had groovy theme music!

[AarHan3]

Ah, Mr. Harold Hooper...the Legend. :)

[MarcDP2007]

Every time I hear this it makes me think of a toddler having a fit because he knows Sesame Street is over.

[RadicalCheerleader]

Why did they switch the actor who played Gordon?

[pooka5472]

@RadicalCheerleader (sighs) Who knows?

[gor069]

Sesame Street made me want to investigate psychoactive materials at a very unnatural early age.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Love these credits - they're cute!!!

[tvtimetravel]

This was nearly identical to the credits from the previous season, except Season 5 (this one) omits "Kate" from the cast list. Any other differences between the credits from the Miller-Gordon era? Interesting how he was credited as Harold Miller rather than Hal.

[70s80s]

Mostoller also did the costumes for The Electric Company. Groovy! ;)

[hssenior]

what year did these credits debut in

[SenhorBundy]

1973

[doctorwhorox]

"Fire Sale"? What's a fire sale?

[quizmaster85]

According to Wikipedia, a fire sale is a "sale of goods at extremely discounted prices, typically when the seller faces bankruptcy or other impending distress. The term may originally have been based on the sale of goods at a heavy discount due to fire damage." (See "Fire sale", Wikipedia, 15 May 2008)

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

I tried to convince my workplace to have a "fire sale" to get rid of some extremely ugly golf shirts we got last year.

No fire sale, so we still have them.

[davidinla36]

Does anyone know where I can find the old Wally and Ralph comedy segments? Their names are listed in the credits. I have not seen these since 1975.

[bigandsexy2006]

Toots Thielemans rocks! Does anyone know where I can get his version of the theme minus the off screen voice? ALso, I get a sentemental feeling when I hear the famous nighttime theme. Reminds me of childhood.

[ColyTom]

This is a wicked video!

[MarcDP2007]

The Sesame Street theme played over the closing credits makes me think of a toddler screaming and crying lol.

[valorik]

What year did they start showing the end signs outdoors?

[nicka727]

I want the 1979 Friday closing credits from the season 10 finale aired May 1979 along with the entire season 10 finale of Sesame Street. I was born in 1979 the year before the ever popular Barkley credits that lasted until I was 13 years old. FYI, there was no Barkley credits in 1979. What was the credit crawl during season 10 and what was the credit crawl from season 10's finale?

[nicka727]

I want to know about the season 10 finale from May 1979 episode, the Friday credits, the sponsors at the end of the show, the character that did the voice over for the sponsors, what characters were holding a Sesame Street sign, and the characters holding the Children's Television Workshop sign. Important to you, please post that episode.

[HartCourtMonopoly]

Was this an episode that first aired in 1973? What Number?

[valorik]

That was a treat to see since these credits existed before I was born.

[ghettochocolate]

i miss havin mr.hooper on the show

[Orenotter]

What seson introduced the jazzy closing theme with the drums and big bells in it?

[wiley207]

Season 4, 1972

[quizmaster85]

Correction (and this may surprise everybody) - just found credits from a 1969 episode with the same arrangements.

[quizmaster85]

I think I may have made a blunder here; I didn't read the bit about the public TV credits (since our guys in Australia don't get that part of the credits)

[kirkenbunken]

That was the sponsor credits theme which, if I'm not mistaken, goes back to the first season.

[Volkswagen1969]

Thanks for these childhood memories. I remember an ending where the credits rolled over the dashboard of a car driving in the country. It might have been from a later season.

[Lectronimo]

Grover gets around!  He appears six times from top to bottom.

[culpit]

I believe I do have memories of those closing credits when I was in kindergarten.

[wattamack4]

4 times.

[VeeJay92]

I'm going to sound like a smart-ass, but five: they have a Big Bird for Matt Vogel (newer voice of Oscar and Big Bird) of which is used for blue screen and has two working hands. Just thought I'd put it out there.

[cvo85]

Not to ask for a lot, because I feel bad asking requests without really having videos, but do you have the closings for some of the later seasons, including those with Barkley...and when they filmed the end signs outdoors? I'm just wondering.

[wattamack4]

Nope.Sorry.

[cvo85]

It's all good; just wondered.
