The November (cover dated) comics where I saw ABC’s Saturday morning schedule advertised also had ads for another kids’ show on another network. Though I couldn’t have known it at the time, the show was a little bit different.
Looking at that ad I would have had no idea how big a deal Sesame Street would be. After my family arrived in the U.S.A. I became aware of the show but I can’t recall I had any interest. At 11 I was too old for the target audience but not old enough to find charm in shows directed at younger kids. By contrast I found Electric Company fun when it debuted on PBS a couple of years later.
If I’d seen the advertisement (it came out during my absence from comics reading), the presence of Superman and Batman might have convinced me to watch it. Does anyone know what their role on the show was and how long it lasted?
I remember that there were occasional short Superman cartoons, teaching letters and sounds, I think? I don’t remember ever seeing Batman on Sesame Street.
