Overview

The season's main curriculum elements include pre-reading, science concepts, health and nutrition.

New recurring Muppet characters are introduced this season; including Telly Monster (debuting in episode 1257 as a monster obsessed with television) and Oscar's chauffeur Bruno the Trashman (introduced in episode 1259). Also introduced this season are the Polka Dot People, a family of Muppets who teach cultural diversity and a physically disabled Muppet. A large Muppet dog, previously introduced in Episode 1177 as "Woof Woof," is established as Barkley in the season premiere.

The season's locations also extend beyond the basic street set. New locations such as a hospital, day care, the rooftop and basement of 123, and the apartments of the human cast are explored. Several segments of the show are shot on-location in various New York City hot spots, including Central Park, Lincoln Center and Chinatown.[1]

Notes

  • Starting with this season (all the way up to 1982), an alternate version of the Children's Television Workshop logo is featured. The exact same Roman-style plaque is used, except that it was printed with standard font (in the same font as the show's letters and numbers) as opposed to the crudely-painted text on the earlier logo.
