- 1969– 55mTV-Y8.0 (23)TV EpisodeDirectorRobert MyhrumJon StoneStarsNorthern CallowayEmilio DelgadoJim HensonAs Sesame Street enters its eighth year, Hooper's Store enters its twenty-fifth. That's right. It was two and a half decades ago that Mr. Hooper opened his store, and he throws a party inside it to celebrate, though Big Bird thinks at first his surprise involves a hot air balloon. While all this is going, a guy very much like Charlie Chaplin comes in second place with an elusive exit sign. A song about touching and feeling is sung over footage of people coming into contact with various textures. Three little men sing about how they love polishing on their home, namely a capital I in the center of the sky. While moving a piano, Biff struggles to play it and talks to Sully about practicing, but Sully isn't the one who needs it. The familiar sketch with two girls playing with their doll house is shown. Edith-Ann of "Laugh-In" fame refuses to count for five for us (though, as usual, she's glad to razz), and Ernie convinces Bert to play a rhyming game with him. Cookie Monster goes to the library and asks for a box of cookies, failing to understand that there aren't any, no matter how annoyed the librarian gets. Finally, song and dance monster Stuie, accompanied by his back-up singers, the Aristocrats, sings about how much he loves his maroon and yellow fur. This episode is sponsored by the letter I and the number 2.
