Where can I find older episodes (pre-Elmo) of Sesame Street on DVD for my son? I know about the two disks of "Old School" episodes that have been released on DVD, there's still a huge gap between where those end (1979, I believe) and when Elmo became extremely prominent in the show (late 80s, I believe), and each of those sets only contain 5 full episodes, and a lot of individual segments, outside of the context of a full show.

Inspired by this answered question, I'm trying to remember another clip. It involved a Rube Goldberg type machine that eventually put cherries on ice cream sundaes. [more inside]

I am looking for an MP3 or video clip of the old Sesame Street song "Sugar Beet" but google and youtube are failing me. It featured background kids going "Beet beet sugar beet beet sugar", etc. At the end it featured a man dipping his finger in a vat and as he tastes the resulting goo he says "Sugar!" and the kids sing "BEET!" loudly. Does anyone have a copy of this?

Help Identify a Hip-Hop Sample. The artist is MF Doom, the album is MM...Food?, the track is "Kookies" (Amazon link; listen to track 15). I'm fairly sure it's from Sesame Street (or some other children's show, circa 1970s) -- if not the main theme, than an outro or something else. [more inside]

does anyone else remember this or am i going insane?
...one of those cartoons from sesame street (i think) where an african-american boy wearing a hat over his eyes gets asked by his mom to go out and get:

"a loaf of bread, a stick of butter, and a gallon of milk."

he goes out into the world accompanied by funky music, doing a very shaggy-esque, spaghetti-arms, kind of walk.

does anyone know this cartoon short? does anyone know where i can get a copy (if it does exist outside of my mind)?
