Come with me to 1970, that bygone age when people could talk about Sesame Street’s “artistic and intellectual virginity” and still keep a straight face. This month in the Anthology, we’re going to take a look at the Sesame Street Learning Kit — the very first set of Sesame products, produced by Time-Life to coincide with the first season of the show. We’re also going to look at a lot of deeply strange Sesame art.
