3786b

Alan's first appearance on Sesame Street.

The format of the show is revised. Like the earliest episodes, characters would often introduce segments, or characters associated with inserts would appear on the street before or after their clip was shown. At times, they even appeared in the videos. Here, Big Bird appears in the "Ookyook" song.

3789ah

Zoe gets her very own Zoemobile in Episode 3789. She would eventually stop being seen with it by Season 34.

Daycare3

Sesame Street Season 30 aired from November 16, 1998 to May 7, 1999.

Overview

Starting this season, the focus would be geared toward the main cast of characters. Also, the season emphasizes the use of classic Sesame Street songs, such as "Sing" and "The People in Your Neighborhood", for the idea of getting kids to sing along and familiarize with the songs and also to attract parents who were fans when they were young.[1]

Episodes

Episodes 3786 - 3850 (65 episodes)

Notes

  • The opening theme sequence has once again changed to a more traditional version of the tune, resembling the original opening theme. The "dancing city" closing credits from 1992 remain in use.
  • The Sesame Street sign has a new look beginning with this season, with a thinner yellow border and a rounder half-circle containing the "CTW" in it. It replaced the original Sesame Street sign that had been used since the very first episode.
  • The episodes are no longer followed by a "Coming soon on Sesame Street" bumper. Instead, there is a copyright disclaimer that is shown. However, the ending from these bumpers, with Big Bird saying "Toodle-oo!" to the camera, are kept. Likewise, this was also the last season to use the blue curtain to show the fundings after Big Bird closed the show.
  • This was Jeff Moss's last season as a writer on the show, having passed away nearly two months prior to the season premiere.
  • This was also Robby Merkin's final season as music director.
  • All episodes in this season were shown in one of Noggin's 123 Sesame Street rotations from 2003 to 2005.
  • This was the first season to have only 65 episodes.
