Billy Jo Jive, self-described super crimefighting ace, was a prepubescent African-American detective in animated segments on Sesame Street in the late 1970s and   more...early 80s. Along with his sidekick, Smart Susie Sunset, Billy Jo would solve crimes in his neighborhood.

The series was produced by former Terrytoons animator Ray Favata. The characters of Billy Jo and Smart Susie originated in a series of children's books by John Shearer, with illustrations by his father Ted Shearer. The series debuted with Billy Jo Jive, Super Private Eye: The Case of the Missing Ten Speed Bike in 1976. When the sequel The Case of the Sneaker Snatcher was released in 1977, the cover boldly advertised "Don't miss Billy Jo Jive and Susie Sunset on Sesame Street!"

The Last Viking PART 1 Staring; Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker,Michael Landon, and Pernell Roberts

From Episode 158: Children instruct an unseen artist to draw the animal step by step, correcting him and making humorous comments along the way. (Several similar cartoons existed: most showed drawings   more...of people in uniform, but one of the oldest has the artist "draw" the letter M.)  less

Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Hour: Volume One on DVD for the first time 5/20/08! Two of the most enduring Hanna-Barbera characters, Richie Rich and Scooby-Doo, will take you through their most entertaining   more...adventures in the Mystery Machine. Come along on the ride!  less

From Episode 158: The seventh in a series of psychedelic song/cartoons about the numbers 2-10. (Because Sesame Street seldom used 1 as a "sponsor number" until the mid-80s, the animators never   more...drew a Jazz #1 cartoon.) Grace Slick performs the vocals in these cartoons; Denny Zeitlin composed the instrumental music. (NOTE: This clip first aired in Episode 16. It's also the only Jazz Number cartoon to make a play on words; when Israeli producers dubbed it into Hebrew, the "eight/ate" connection got lost in translation.)  less

Almost every Gen-X'er with a TV in the house grew up seeing the Pinball Number Count clips--and judging by some other video sites on the Net, those cartoons have turned up in foreign versions of Sesame   more...Street as well. Still, I wonder how many Russian parents are old enough to sense the irony of dubbing *this* Pinball Number Count for the local kids? ;-)  less

From Test Show #1: Two lessons--geometry and tolerance--combine in this story about a jazz-loving triangle and a more conventional square. (Pun not intended on my part, but probably intended by the   more...animator!)  less

From Test Show #1: A dog and its owner reverse roles (check out the human's deadpan "bow-wow"!).

From Test Show #1: A little girl sings the alphabet song, while a man's voice corrects her several times from offscreen. (Based on the animation style and the "story", I suspect that this   more...is an early version of a similar cartoon from the 70s. The girl in the later version gets a name--Gloria--and a snarkier attitude.)  less

From Test Show #1: Superman rescues a woman from an ape-like monster, which he then fights off with a door-like metal object. When the fight is over, Superman turns to the audience and says "D!"   more... (I suspect that CTW rejected this clip later, since it has no real educational content--the letter D is never shown onscreen, and Superman never associates D with anything in the story.)  less

From Test Show #1: A disembodied voice (Gary Owens) teaches two boys about the letter D by telling a nonsensical, rhyming story full of D-words. (Similar cartoons about the letters A, J, and L also   more...appeared on Sesame Street.; I have the others, but will be saving them for later.)  less

From Test Show #1: Dudley and his assistant (a shorter man with glasses) show viewers the letter D, in both capital and lowercase forms. The assistant points out that "dinner" begins with   more...D, then reminds Dudley (who's eating the uppercase letter) to watch his table manners.  less

From "This Way to Sesame Street": The first in a series of psychedelic song/cartoons about the numbers 2-10. (Because Sesame Street seldom used 1 as a "sponsor number" until the   more...mid-80s, the animators never drew a Jazz #1 cartoon.) Grace Slick performs the vocals in these cartoons; Denny Zeitlin composed the instrumental music.  less

From "This Way to Sesame Street": A surreal story about the adventures of an eagle-riding boy, dominated by words with the long E sound. (This cartoon also appears in Episode 1--after Ernie   more...declares hysterically that E is his favorite letter. :-) )  less

From "This Way to Sesame Street": The rocket explodes before the launch director has finished counting down; when the smoke has cleared, we see the director (and several onlookers) covered   more...with soot..  less

From "This Way to Sesame Street": When the launch director's countdown reaches 1, *he* shoots into space instead of the rocket.

From "This Way to Sesame Street": When the launch director counts down to 1, the rocket falls over instead of lifting off. (There were five other versions of this cartoon, but "This Way..."   more...includes only three.)  less

From Episode 8: A rhyme full of B-words tells the story of an accident-prone bear on a bicycle.

From Episode 8: A boy converses with a girl as she jumps rope to the alphabet. When she reaches the letter Z, an egg (which the boy has been complaining about) hatches to reveal a big surprise...

From Episode 8: The fourth in a series of psychedelic song/cartoons about the numbers 2-10. (Because Sesame Street seldom used 1 as a "sponsor number" until the mid-80s, the animators never   more...drew a Jazz #1 cartoon.) Grace Slick performs the vocals in these cartoons; Denny Zeitlin composed the instrumental music.  less

From Episode 8: The third in a series of psychedelic song/cartoons about the numbers 2-10. (Because Sesame Street seldom used 1 as a "sponsor number" until the mid-80s, the animators never   more...drew a Jazz #1 cartoon.) Grace Slick performs the vocals in these cartoons; Denny Zeitlin composed the instrumental music.  less

From Episode 8: Cookie Monster (still unnamed so far) returns and bothers Ernie, so Ernie shows the monster a cartoon with a boy counting and erasing objects. He threatens to erase Cookie the same way--then   more...actually does it.  less
