Revision as of 19:51, 14 February 2009
Trash Gordon is a science fiction adventure book which Oscar reads to Slimey to help him sleep. Introduced in Sesame Street Season 35, the segments appear at the end of every episode, and replace the older sponsor tags.
"Trash Gordon" features Gordon as a parody of "Flash Gordon," who continually finds himself stranded on strange planets and finding non-combative ways of overcoming his adversaries. Each ends with Gordon reminding viewers of the letter of the day and the number of the day.
The Adventures of Trash Gordon is also a newspaper comic strip, as seen in Elmo's Potty Time.
Starting with Season 38, Trash Gordon is only seen occasionally. Other times, Oscar reads Slimey a different story, which also ends with Gordon announcing the episode's sponsors. In two episodes, The Adventures of Gina the Veterinarian replaced Trash.
In the 2007 book Abby Cadabby's Rhyme Time, Oscar is reading Trash Gordon: Space Glory.
