Sesame Street Season 3 aired from November 15,[1] 1971 to May 12, 1972.

Overview

The curriculum for Season 3 will focus on the subject of ecology. In an interview, Jon Stone said about the ecology segments will "stress the interdependence of living things and the finiteness of the earth's resources. Pre-schoolers are extremely curious about the world around them, so we think they'll be very interested in how things they see are related to each other." Season 3 will also focus on Spanish language and culture.[2]

Head writer Jeff Moss says, “You’ll find an awful lot less of an adult telling a child that’s the right, or that’s the wrong answer. The kids will come up with solutions more often. And on every show we will have a 3-year old. We haven't had children that young before, but surprisingly, they’re not that hard to manage before the camera. They really participate." He also says that this season will attempt to inject more real life into street scenes: "People will get annoyed with one another; will sometimes yell at one another. People will talk about pollution on the street."[3]

Characters

Luis, Maria, Rafael and Molly join the cast. Linda is also introduced this season. Larry and Phyllis are replaced by another comedy duo, Wally and Ralph.

Kermit the Frog returns in new material, having been absent the previous year.

A new Muppet character, Mr. Snuffleupagus, is introduced. During this season, Mr. Snuffleupagus has bright yellow eyes and light eyelashes. This will be changed by the next season. Also at this point, Mr. Snuffleupagus is thought by the adults to be Big Bird's imaginary friend.

Other Muppets who debut this season include Harvey Kneeslapper, The Amazing Mumford, The Martians, and Mr. Johnson (the recurring customer who Grover waits on at Charlie's Restaurant).

Segments

In addition to Wally and Ralph, this season also features the debut of The Mad Painter, a man who would paint numbers on various objects. A recurring series of animated segments features Donnie Budd, a hillbilly fiddle player who sings about the numbers 2-6. These segments were created by Budd Luckey, who also created many other animated segments for this season, including The Alligator King and Ladybugs' Picnic.

Episodes

Episodes 0276 - 0405 (130 episodes)

Notes

  • This is the first season where the credits acknowledge the fact that Caroll Spinney performs both Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, and credit him with the human cast instead of with the other Muppet performers.
  • Fran Brill, included in the previous season's credits, is omitted from the roster, but still performs.
  • Season 3 was set to air on "about 300 stations, more than broadcast any other program on American TV".[4]
  • This is the last season to feature Matt Robinson as Gordon.
  • This is the last season in which, for Friday episodes, the street story's closing scene would continue under the credits. Later, a new illustrated credit crawl was introduced.
