Sesame Street Season 9 aired from November 28, 1977 to May 26, 1978.

Overview

This season will focus on cultural diversity as the cast visits Buffy Sainte-Marie at her home on the island of Kauai of Hawaii. Jon Stone said, "Going to Hawaii was very good for us because it is a multi-ethnic society and one that provides an ocean-oriented milieu that we have never had on the series."[1] Three of the children who participated in the Hawaii shows are direct descendants of King Kaumualii, and two are descendants of King Kamehameha.[2]

The curriculum will also emphasis on higher-order reading skills, such as verbal blending and letter sounds. In addition, this season will introduce basic principles of health and nutrition, dental care, personal hygiene, pre-science, and the environment.

Episodes 1177 and 1184 feature the first appearances of a full-bodied Muppet dog, then named "Woof Woof." In the premiere episode of next season, the cast decides to rename him "Barkley." The dog was originally performed by Toby Towson.

The season also introduces a batch of new, recurring animated segments - Billy Jo Jive, Thelma Thumb, He, She and It, and the Sign Cartoons series.

Episodes

Episodes 1056 - 1185 (130 episodes)
