FYI: Sesame Street has released on YouTube more than 140 full episodes from past sea­sons. On the Sesame Street Clas­sics chan­nel, you’ll find some icon­ic episodes, start­ing with the very first 1969 broad­cast. Watch it above. Also on that same chan­nel you can revis­it episodes where Big Bird reveals that Snuffy is real, Mr. Rogers vis­its the show, Maria and Luis get engaged, and the death of Mr. Hoop­er gets del­i­cate­ly addressed. Beyond these episodes, you can also watch 129 com­plete episodes on Sesame Street’s main YouTube Chan­nel here. Enjoy!
