Talk:Episode 0131

Brought to you today by...what was that again?
In the earliest seasons of Sesame Street, CTW must not have had a rule against showing clips for non-sponsor letters: only J gets credit as a letter of the day in this episode, although it still includes clips about N, Q, and U.

This occasionally happened with numbers, too: I've seen a few 1970s episodes which included skits about 1 when the number of the day was 2 (lower sponsors first appeared in 1986). Señor Cero sketches also had Luis assuming a secret identity to teach the number 0--at least two years before that number appeared as an official sponsor.

(Note: I'm very familiar with the early counting sketches that taught 1-20 or 10-1 as a range of numbers.  The odd sketches about 0 and 1, though, focused on those individual numbers only.)  --Ingeborg 16:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
