00:00Go through the two lips.
00:03Ape?
00:05Ape?
00:07Hey, but, but, Bert, we need a little bit more time to just show some more stuff, you know?
00:10Ernie, Ernie, old buddy, there just is no more time.
00:13Oh, but, but just one more. One more thing. Now, you gotta look at this one here.
00:17Just take a look. No, no, why are they showing that?
00:19No, no, no. We want to show some more of the stuff from Sesame Street.
00:22Oh, we don't, we don't care about the executive producer or anything like that.
00:26Now, come on, Bert, can't we show some more of the stuff from the show?
00:29No? Look, they can see it all next week, Ernie. Come on, now.
00:31Now, who cares who wrote this thing? No, let's, let's just, let's say, oh, look, they left out Danny's credit there.
00:36Yeah, Danny was there. Hey, come on. Hey, Xerox, how about putting this on for an extra half an hour, huh?
00:40Ernie.
00:40Do you think we could, because we could, no, huh? Well, how about, then just watch next week.
00:44What time are we on, Bert?
00:45In different times and different places. Now, come on.
00:47Yeah, well, look in the newspaper, then. The show's on a whole hour long, and lots of faces will be on twice a day.
00:53Lighting, we don't care about the director of operations and the production assistant.
00:56Oh, come on, now. Bert, we've got to show a lot more stuff from the show.
01:01Look, you've got to have credit, Ernie. It's a rule.
01:03Oh, but the lighting director and the videotape editor, they don't care.
01:06Well, their mothers care.
01:07Well, how about the program guide? Now, look, we've got to write about getting the program guide.
01:11Yeah, yeah, well, the first issue is free, you know.
01:13And all you have to do is write to this address.
01:15Now, see, Parent Teacher Guide, Box 9140X, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55177.
01:23You got that?
01:24Now, anybody can write for it. You teachers, would you indicate your school, please?
01:27Right.
01:28But for the kids, there's a big poster in the program guide.
01:31You've got to go, Ernie.
01:32For your free copy of the program guide, write, Parent Teacher Guide, Box 9140X, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55177.
01:45Dr. James E. Allen, Jr., United States Commissioner of Education.
01:49I'm told that television networks never preview programs scheduled by other networks.
01:57But NBC, with the help of Xerox, has done just that and both deserve commendation for this advanced glimpse of Sesame Street,
02:07the new daily series for children, which will be seen on more than 170 educational television stations from Maine to American Samoa.
02:19Sesame Street represents both an historic step forward by the medium of TV and an equally significant innovation in mass education.
02:29In plain words, there never has been before a nationwide TV program designed especially to help prepare young children for school.
02:42Next week, there will be.
02:44Early childhood experts now know that young children develop much of their intellectual capacity long before they enter school.
02:54And all of us have seen the power that television has to reach and teach children.
03:01In fact, some children watch as many hours of TV before they enter the first grade
03:06as they will spend in the classroom during the first five years of school.
03:13The Children's Television Workshop of National Educational Television
03:17was created to find out how effective the medium of TV could be in helping prepare preschoolers for school.
03:25The films you have just seen are a sample of the type of programming the workshop's Sesame Street series will offer
03:33in its attempt to provide an answer to that question.
03:37We at the United States Office of Education are proud to join with Project Head Start
03:44and several distinguished private foundations in making this experiment possible.
03:51And I hope you will help your child find this exciting new way to learning
03:57by tuning to your local educational station each day at Sesame Street time.
