Sesame Street onscreen episode numbers

Since the debut episode of Sesame Street, nearly every episode has begun by displaying the episode number, with different methods of doing so throughout the series. This method was used in a few of the co-productions, including Sesamstrasse and Plaza Sésamo, as well as other Children's Television Workshop shows, such as The Electric Company and Square One TV.
