What Do You Guys Think of the first Seaon Of Sesame Street?

I think that considering the popularity and success of Sesame Street today, it's hard to believe when it first came out they expected it to last only a couple of seasons.

Just the other day I bought a plushie of Mr. Snuffleupagus. When Snuffy first appeared on Sesame Street he looked just plain horrifying! And Big Bird was pretty homely too in his early appearances. Not to mention really dumb. And Oscar the Grouch was orange. The Count was much more spooky and sinister, with hypnotic vampire powers and a much more evil-sounding laugh. They thought that made him too scary for little kids so they softened him up. And Grover was a very dark green, almost black color and he was also more creepy-looking. When he was changed into the lovable furry blue version we know now, the "old" Grover once made a brief appearance - as Grover's mommy.

Are we talking about the original first season or season 1 on HBO. I don't know how much longer Sesame Street will be around when they fire most if not all of their human cast.

I was thinking the original 1st season. I have no clue why they moved the show to HBO, although episodes are currently shown on Treehouse TV in Canada now, as far as I know. I don't even get HBO. I miss the days when Jim Henson was still alive and his shows were at the height of the influence of his genius. He was taken much too soon.

I wasn't born yet when the series started but I've seen the first 1969 episode and other stuff on YouTube.

We are talking about Sesame Street Season 1.
