Sam the Snake

A claymation segment about the letter S, originally seen in Episode 0001 of Sesame Street. This segment teaches viewers about the letter S. It begins with some voices seeing something and asking, "What's that?" Another voice says, "That's a something, and something starts with the letter S". That something turns into an S, and then into Sam the Snake. Throughout the skit, whenever something begins with an S, somebody points out that that it begins with the letter S.

Sam the Snake meets some skunks, including Sissy the Skunk. They saw a see saw and make a slide. They then meet a few soldiers, including one named Sanfred. Then they build a snowman, and after the snowman says that his name is Hubert, they all say in shock, "Hubert?! That doens't start with S!"

Jim Henson provided the voices of Sam and Sanfred.
