Sesame Street Episode 2255 Closing

[PGMEagle]

What season was it when the discontinued the funkey chimes at the end

[classicssmfan]

@PGMEagle the last season to play the "Funky Chimes" was Season 23.

[1f5sda]

Do you think that Season 18 will be released on DVD?

[classicssmfan]

@1f5sda I highly doubt it. The first 29 seasons of the show all had 130 episodes (with the exception of Season 2 which had 145 episodes), so I don't think it will be happening anytime soon. I'm sorry to upset you like this, but that's just what I think. However, on the ToughPigs website, one of the owners of that particular site thinks that one day Sesame Workshop will make a "Sesame Street: Complete Series" DVD set with all 4000+ episodes on 80 discs, (which probably won't happen either).

[1f5sda]

@classicssmfan I guess you're right.

[classicssmfan]

@1f5sda but then again, who knows? Maybe someday they will do something like that. That would be a nice thing to happen, don't you think?

[1f5sda]

@classicssmfan Probably so. Like they say, "anything's possible."

[1f5sda]

You Sesame Street fans may not know this, but the end credit letters have the same font as the "Close Encounters of The Third Kind" letters.

[1f5sda]

I really enjoy this jazzy version of the theme.

[thomasisatwin]

what other endings of sesame street do you have? the ending with the letters D and R and the number 9?

[thetoolbox112394]

what was the first episode with the calypso beat credits? i was born in 1994 so that's the earliest one i remember! im so young!

[classicssmfan]

@thetoolbox112394 Episode 3006, Season 24. You and I are in the same boat.

[itsalleternal]

@classicssmfan - Actually it would be 3010. 3006 would have been a Monday episode (as with all episodes ending in 1 and 6).

[chuckykill88]

@classicssmfan iwas born before season 26

[chuckykill88]

@thetoolbox112394 i was born in 1994. this is also the earliest one i remember. I wtched an episode of ss when i was little and it had the jazz ending.

[carminaburanafan]

holy shit! it is SOOOO remarkably rare to have music that has a TUBA playing the melody!!!

[radiodj1520]

In This Clip, From 1:09 To 3:52, It Was "Sesame Street" Video Close From December 26, 1986.

[rayandreina]

I remember this airing originally on December 26, 1986 -- Merry Day-After-Christmas!

[Garrettk41]

This seems like an interesting episode. Anyone got the clip with Hoots out in the rain with Ruby and pointing out to her the way the rain makes a rhythm while hitting the concrete?

[1982ktown]

I thought i was the only one that loved this ending. This was my absolute favorite.

[1RichardHunt]

Where's the PBS logo at the very end?

[Garrettk41]

Guess it didn't make it into this video.

[wyecee]

Hootz, or Hoots?

[schemer1991]

4300 EPISODE OPENING AND  CLOSING .

[antsamthompson9]

Who knew Hoots liked to play the tuba?

[BuckWilliams17]

@antsamthompson9 Don't you mean the flower-holding, towel-drying, ear-scratching, sit upon, owl perchaphone? ;)

[antsamthompson9]

@BuckWilliams17 Yes.

[Jbrangwynne53]

Man, I love these credits =)

[SonicFamilyGal]

Yup, the music sure was nice and relaxing enough to help me relieve stress.

[animegal2686]

@Jbrangwynne53

Me too. They're also from the year I was born, which I find really cool.

[1f5sda]

@Jbrangwynne53 Me too! I saw this on YouTube 20 years after this was on TV. Gotta love old Sesame Street! RIP Jim Henson 1936-1990!

[Deanmo23]

I hope they're going to make a full Episode 2255 guide.
