Where's the Pinball 1-12 song?

[mikealan]

The animated pinball 1-12 segments had been shown on Sesame Street in the late 70's many times. Then they're shown some times on any episode from the early 80's until Elmo's World came on. During the Elmo's World days, they're shown on Sesame Street very LESS times. #6 was shown on one of the 2000 shows and #8 and #11 were shown last year until I think for this season, they start to disappear. Why did people that work on Sesame Street got rid of them?

Because they're too old-fashioned. They don't really like the old stuff anymore, they like more modern things.

#12 can be found on the commercial video "The Great Numbers Game" and #10 can be found - in Hebrew - on "Shalom Sesame: Passover".

Just trying to be helpful.

Ohh, I'm upset that nobody ever liked the pinball machine series anymore, lol!

Were there any Sesame Street segments that were shown on this 34th season?

 

[ssetta]

Not this season, no. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all retired.

If any of you watched the 34th season of Sesame Street, what classic clips were shown on this season?

 

[ssetta]

You mean like from the 70s?

Well, there was one on today, "V Falls on Man's Knee at Beach."

And "G for Giggle" was used this season.

The "Country #2" song was used like the first week.

"Dr. Annie Eyeball Ph.D. Looks at Air"

Unfortunately, I think that's about it.

I think pinball machines are still popular.
Today, I watched #2 on one of the current Season 31 episodes where Telly practiced to play ping-pong with Allan. Y'see, Noggin still shows the pinball machine and the Alphaquest!
#2 can also be shown on episodes #1056 and #1186 as well.

But #1056 and #1186 are gone forever, so don't mention it.

Yes, I am also afraid that the Two Little Dolls song will be gone forever as well. Oh, I hate the D cartoon/film!

BTW, Sesame Street Unpaved will disappear forever...FOREVER!!
Nobody will EVER like classic Sesame Street again!
