I Love Trash - 1969

This was the first airing of Oscar singing I Love Trash way back in 1969. Notice that back in the day Oscar was orange.

  2. Who knew he would inspire a nation? Oscar and his cohorts laid the foundation for the educational programming we have today. Of course, he also legitimized the behavior that has brought us a host of other programs, like Clean Sweep and Hoarders.
    Thanks for sharing. Classic Sesame street is the best.

  3. There was a story behind him turning to green, apparently he went to the country and the clean air made him change color. LOL!

    Sesame Street is the best, and my 2 year old and I watch it together all the time. The "Old School" dvds are great, and I love the show now, even with all that Elmo.

  5. We used to sit with a tape recorder & a microphone & tape episodes of Sesame Street for my baby brother.
    Then they started releasing the LPs, which I was smart enough to save!
    For my own kids I bought all of the video tapes.
    Watching Sesame Street over the years as a child & an adult has been a wonderful experience.

  8. I was born in 1966 so I was raised on Sesame Street. A few years ago, Noggin used to play old school Sesame Street early in the morning with a very young Maria and Gordon wearing some fly threads.

  9. Love the orange, but I think green is a much better color for him. Really brings out his eyes. :)

  13. When I was little (mid-'70s), I had a piano music book with Sesame Street songs. This was one of my favorites.

    Here's my favorite Street clip (I love the squeal!):
