Episode list

In the first ever pilot, two boys named David and Donald arrive in Sesame Street greeted by Gordon who finishes repaving the sidewalk. Since David and Donald's names both begin with the letter D, that became the main subject for the pilot. The in between segments of the pilot either featured words beginning with the letter D or just featured other educational topics like counting and singing the alphabet. Special guests include Superman, Batman, Carol Burnett, Gary Owens, and the music group "Listen My Brother".

Gordon welcomes a girl named Sally to Sesame Street, and we meet the various denizens who call the neighborhood home.

After being bothered one time too many, Oscar declared he'll find a way to sleep at piece even if it means moving out of his trash can. Meanwhile Bob shows the neighborhood kids a pack of chihuahuas and a young gray squirrel. Mr. Hooper reads "Gwendelyn the Miracle Hen" in its entirety. The letters E, S, W and the numbers 2 and 3 are the sponsors.

Big Bird attempts to make a sweater for Susan as a gift he forgotten to give to her on Susan's last year's birthday. Meanwhile Mr. Hooper tries to convince Gordon that his "Super Duper Abracadabra Two Maker" can make any single object into "two". Bob sings "Good Morning Starshine" with the Anything Muppets, and in turn the Anything Muppets sing "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". The letters E, S, W and the numbers 2 and 3 are the sponsors.

The neighborhood is more noisy than its suppose to as a construction group is currently digging a hole where a new building will be built. Bob, Gordon, Susan, and some of the neighborhood kids watch in amazement at the development in progress. The only resident in Sesame Street who isn't too thrilled by the construction is Mr. Hooper. Due to the noise level, he isn't able to tend his shop at peace. So he announces that his shop will remain closed for the day while he takes a peaceful break at the park. Gordon, Susan, and Bob didn't want the local neighborhood shop closed, so Gordon suggests to Mr. Hooper that he, Bob, and Susan can run the shop during Hooper's day off. Mr. Hooper didn't object to the idea as long as it means he can spend time at a park that is far away from the construction. As the three substitute clerks reopen the shop, each of them had a different way of running things. Which lead to the decision of having Gordon, Bob, and Susan take turns as the clerk of the shop. They soon learn its not easy to run a shop successfully even while using the letters W,E,S and the numbers 2 and 3 as the sponsors.

Mr. Hooper displays his newest invention called the "Super Duper Secret Stealer Stopper" a guaranteed system that stops burglars from stealing his sodas with humorous results. Gordon spends time with the Anything Muppets and neighborhood kids. Bob shows the neighborhood kids a doe deer and two box turtles.
