From 1972, reposted by request. After Matt Robinson and before Roscoe Orman, Hal Miller played the role of Gordon for two seasons. In this segment, Gordon and Susan meet a new character, the Super Automated Machine (S.A.M.) The 1970s Sesame Street had a wide ranging curriculum, from letters, numbers, emotions, body identification, social interaction, and of course the importance of preventing the inevitable domination of humanity by machines.

  • @SHExxLIKESxxBARINAS The whole point of the character is that he says machines are perfect, and then immediately proves that this is not the case by constantly goofing up and skipping like a broken record.
