Thousands of parents seem to think so.

The "Bring breastfeeding back to Sesame Street!" petition outlines their mission statement as such:

Back in the 70's and 80's nursing was tastefully shown on the show but now they have replaced their nursing videos with bottles. Please note... We are not asking Sesame Street to remove bottle feeding. We are asking that both ways of feeding babies be shown as normal.

An example from 1970s "Sesame Street," where breast-feeding was the norm.

An example from the 1990s, where all mentions of breast-feeding have been removed in place of bottle-feeding. Conspiracy?

The role of Gordon was played by an actor different than those who would eventually play the role once the show aired on television. The problem? The people at Sesame Street don't know who this man is and they need your help to figure it out!

They Lost The Original Gordon!

In 1969 Sesame Street shot a test episode that would be shown to focus groups of children. In that episode Gordon wasn't played by Matt Robinson, Hal Miller, or Roscoe Orman, the men who would play the role over the coming decades, he was played by the man who stars in this video. The problem? The people at Sesame Street don't know who this man is. The other adult actors and puppeteers in the video don't know who he is either. A few years ago the staff at Children's Television Workshop went through their archives searching for any evidence as to this man's identity (pay stubs, call sheets, you name it). They didn't find anything.

So the people at Sesame Street have turned to the Internet. If you recognize this Gordon, or know somebody who worked on that original unaired test pilot, email wheresgordon@sesameworkshop.org. They want to identify one of the earliest players in what has become one of the most culturally important pieces of entertainment in American history. Who could argue with that?
