The first episode of Sesame Street. Gordon Robinson, a teacher, brings his student Sally to visit his place of residence, Sesame Street, where she meets all the main cast members, including some Muppets.
This episode is sponsored by the letters E and W, and the numbers 2 and 3. Additionally, Kermit the Frog makes an appearance, well before his days on The Muppet Show.
Tropes seen in this episode:
- Alliterative Name: One sketch about the letter W has a character named Wanda the Witch.
- Tears of Joy: Ernie cries happy tears because the episode is sponsored by the letter E and the number 2, which are his favourite letter and number.
- Welcome Episode: And it truly is a welcome episode, as Gordon brings a young student in his class to show her around a street that would go on to become a cornerstone in television history.
