Title card for Episode 3786, the first show of the season.

3786b

Alan's first appearance on Sesame Street.

Elmosgotballs

Elmo's World debuted this season.

3788l

The format of the show is revised. Like the earliest episodes, characters would often introduce segments, or characters associated with inserts would appear on the street before or after their clip was shown. At times, they even appeared in the videos. Here, Big Bird appears in the "Ookyook" song.

3789ah

Zoe gets her very own Zoemobile in Episode 3789. She would eventually stop being seen with it by Season 34.

Daycare3

Sesame Street Season 30 aired from November 16, 1998 to February 12, 1999.


Season Overview

Starting this season, the focus would be geared toward the main cast of characters. Also, the season emphasizes the use of classic Sesame Street songs, such as "Sing" and "The People in Your Neighborhood", for the idea of getting kids to sing along and familiarize with the songs and also to attract parents who were fans when they were young.[1]

Episodes

Episodes 3786 - 3850 (65 episodes)

Notes

  • Starting this season, each episode of Sesame Street ends with a new segment, "Elmo's World." This season's segments are about Balls, Shoes, Hats, Dancing, Jackets, Food, Books, Music, Water and Transportation.
  • This season also introduces new recurring segments: Ernie's Show and Tell, Monsters in Day Care, and Sesame Street Goes to Day Care.
  • Except for the Subway, everything from Around the Corner has been removed.
  • The opening theme sequence has once again changed to a more traditional version of the tune, resembling the original opening theme. The "dancing city" closing credits from 1992 remain in use.
  • The Sesame Street sign has a new look beginning with this season, with a thinner yellow border and a rounder half-circle containing the "CTW" in it. It replaced the original Sesame Street sign that had been used since the very first episode.
  • Hooper's Store is taken over by Alan.
  • The episodes are no longer followed by a "Coming soon on Sesame Street" bumper. Only the ending from these bumpers, with Big Bird saying "Toodle-oo!" to the camera, are kept.
  • This season was dedicated in memory of Jeff Moss in a title card at the end of the first episode.
  • All episodes in this season were shown in one of Noggin's 123 Sesame Street rotations from 2003 to 2005.
  • This was the first season to have only 65 episodes.
