Sesame Street: Season 1: Episode 1 (1969)

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	"Sally, you've never seen a street like Sesame Street. Everything happens here. You're gonna love it," says Gordon as he introduces his new neighbor, Sally, to Sesame Street, where she meets Susan, Bob, Mr. Hooper and some kids in the courtyard. When Gordon tries to introduce her to Big Bird, however, Sesame Street's tallest resident has trouble finding her, because she's so small. But when Gordon lifts Sally up so that she'll be easier to see, Big Bird mistakenly thinks that she is eight feet tall and gets scared, thereupon claiming that he nearly laid an egg. Gordon and Sally then hear singing coming from the basement apartment in 123 Sesame Street, which Gordon explains is where Ernie and Bert live. He also tells Sally that, if she can hear Ernie singing, it most likely means that he is taking a bath.
