TSSR- Season 5 (1973-1974)
Okay, guys, I am deeply sorry for pumping this one out so late. Life happened, but I found a way to push through. Now let’s get on with the retrospection. So, Season 5 of Sesame Street is an interesting case. It brings an end to certain things but gives birth to others. And a lot of the experiences in it are hard to describe, but I’m gonna try anyway as we get into this installment. Production History Okay, I swear, we WILL get to a season that actually has production history to speak of, but season 5 is not that season. It aired from November 19, 1973, to May 17, 1974. Also, Joe Raposo, the show’s main composer stepped out after this season and wouldn’t come back until after 10 more. Overview Season 5 stands out from the seasons so far, in that its curriculum focuses solely on the feelings/emotions we feel every day. And that’s shown greatly in how the characters interact with each other, and the situations they get into, which are ramped up to be more intense than the previous one.
