The Man from Alphabet The Man from Alphabet was a series of four five - minute film segments made for the " Sesame Street " pilot episodes in July , 1969 . Created by " Sesame " executive producer David Connell , the segments referenced such tongue - in - cheek spy series as " Get Smart " and " The Man from U . N . C . L . E . " The series starred the Man from Alphabet ( played by Gary Owens ) , a bumbling spy in a trenchcoat who , with the help of a young paperboy called H . B . , tried to catch the villainous Digby Dropout and his henchman Dunce using clues from H . B . ' s " Alphabet Book . " Initially , the Man was also to have had a chief , " Teacher . " As one of the earliest film segments completed , the series was heavily featured in advance promotion for " Sesame Street " , mentioned in newspaper articles and promotional copy as early as March 1969 , at a time when even the street format hadn ' t been settled . Most of the promotion placed stress on the " comic strip " aspect of the series , and on the presence of Gary Owens , then an up and coming personality . Later in the year , a color ad appeared in the November issue of several DC Comics , with Batman and Superman promoting " Sesame Street " and their own forthcoming appearances on the series , which laid particular emphasis on " The Man from Alphabet . " Despite the advance publicity , and Connell ' s investment in the series , " The Man from Alphabet " proved to be a failure with test audiences . The combination of the Man from Alphabet ' s constant bungling and problem solving attempts confused kids , and the lessons never came across . H . B . ' s role as the true problem - solver was not clearly understood , a fact exacerbated by the child actor ' s stilted delivery and poor diction . As assessed by Edward L . Palmer , " The amount of truly effective educational content , relative to our goals , is virtual nil . " The Man from Alphabet also walked through the window of his door to enter his office , a violent movement which might have proved imitable . After reviewing the test results , producer Connell advised that the segments be shelved , referring to them as " Connell ' s Folly " . The segments never aired on " Sesame Street " , although elements of the series ( a detective who solved problems using letters of the alphabet ) do appear in the earliest installments of the Jane Tuesday segments , as well as the Dirk Niblik animated segments from CTW ' s " Square One TV " .
