- MuppetWiki's "Dot Bridge" page: muppet.fandom.... (though my own research doesn't completely agree with the information on that page), and
My updated (but still incomplete) collection as of November, 2017: • The 30 Dots Collection...
0:00 • First perfect,
0:14 • Second perfect,
0:26 • Last dot is late,
0:52 • Last dot is early,
1:12 • Third dot tries red,
2:18 • All dots go red,
3:15 • Red dot gets a raspberry for being a brat,
3:52 • INVASION Of The SQUARES,
4:04 • Kicking the crumpled object,
4:18 • An unwelcome square appears,
5:11 • The wandering square,
6:10 • A coughing dot leaves,
7:14 * Is this what the final merger of the dots & squares looked like?
I wish I could transfer all of the wonderful comments from the other "30 Dots Collection" upload over to this one. Earlier this year, I recompiled all the clips, worked on the audio of some of them, and included the "wandering square" clip which I didn't have for the first upload, especially now that YT took away the "video responses" feature. I tried to fix the shadowy stuff on the clips from Episode #1, so I hope I didn't make it worse.
Thanks to MsPandaRosa and some of the other SS fans for sharing their insights and recollections regarding the obscure clips, especially the ones that have yet to resurface.

I loved these dot sequences. This collection is a great start. Please let us know when you find these: (1) The coughing dot is replaced by a small, disruptive dot. (2) The small dot gets it right and is kissed. (3) The dots appear tightly because the square's in the way; one turns red and is pounced on. (4) The dots and squares confront each other in the middle, then agree to appear at the same time, culminating in a Catherine wheel. (Are there any I'm missing?)
That probably rounds out the rest of them, according to MsPandaRosa's account. I don't remember ever seeing any of those, but that's possibly because they used to weird me out to the point that I'd look away, especially when they started doing the whole gibberish thing. But I'm waiting for those to finally surface as well.
And here's another entry:
th-cam.com/video/QsHek7gKtDY/w-d-xo.html
I remember one where a red dot would suddenly appear in the last position, accompanied by a buzzer, a few times prematurely during the normal sequence. The sequence would stop and get "debugged" until the red dot disappeared. It was similar to the third dot going red. That was the one I came here looking for.
Is it possible that the Clark Gesner estate might have and be allowed to grant access to any or all surviving "Dot Bridge" clips? The only way Sesame Workshop will release these is within full classic shows, and barring any 50th anniversary surprises next year, that trend doesn't look too likely to continue right now.
So, it looks like the one that culminates with the dots and squares forming the circular pattern has been finally revealed, but only to a few lucky folks for now. I’m not one of them, but hopefully it will trickle down to the rest of us soon. In fact, you guys may see it before I do. If so, please help a guy out.
Lyrics:
We are dots, and we are many
We are round, not sharp or square-y
Count us all, the totals thirty
We are strong, We’re stur-dy!
Playing in high school band have me a whole new appreciation for these segments.
Maybe the rapid fire sequence in the 7th segment could be a great finale for a high school or military band.

age 39 and I still chuckle at these like when I watched as a child :)
They were a riot, especially the raspberry episode!
I think it's funny the way the B-flat note repeats itself in #3 before the final dot shows up and I like watching the final dot make its way through the other dots.
#4 is pretty funny when the last dot appears in sync with the 14th dot and when the final B-flat note plays early.
Same here and it never gets old! 😎👍🏾🥳
Amazing how little is needed to create a comedic reaction.
The lessons here are more subtle than the lessons in the typical _Sesame Street_ clip about one obvious topic: Patterns and conformity, expectations and surprise, social rules for dealing with troublemakers (both inside and outside the main group). Most children *would* see the dots as just shapes to begin with; when the dots (and later, the squares) start acing like people, the educational messages become clearer.
I love the "raspberry" skit. Dot #3 was being a bad dot! 😊
i identified with Dot #3 and i was prob. 5
The raspberry one was the best of them all. I can still hear my 5 year old self chuckle at the Pfffffff!!! sound. Even today at 48 I get a good laugh from it. LOL!!!!
Yes, when I found this updated collection, I thought it for sure would have the FINALE, where it looks like the one dot and the one square get married, at the end(and it always looked to me, like their "romance"was inspired by the way they happened to meet, in the middle)--I remember the squares started entering the scene simultaneously, with the dots. Thanks for this updated collection, though; again, I'm with MsPandaRosa, in hoping the big finale, will get posted, one of these days.
We're all still waiting right along with you…
This was the first time I ever saw the ones with the squares. In fact, I was unaware of them until now. The one with the coughing dot was new to me, too.
I like the drumroll at the beginning of #1 and when the blue background pushes the yellow background off the screen going from right to left.
Thank you for uploading these, brings back great memories and still just as entertaining as it was in the 70's :)
Wow! You'd never think these were made by the same guy who created _You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown_ ! Talk about versatility! Kudos Clark Gesner and rest in peace!
What's wrong with me? I keep having dreams that more of these are turning up. I must be obsessed. Please, Workshop, TH-cam, make it happen so I can sleep again.

MonsterpieceTheatre and
those were so funny!! brings me back to the 70's and 80's!!
The music for this was done by Clark Gesner, the same Clark Gesner who helped create the musical _You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown._
So what have we learned here? Fit in. Don't stand out. Avoid people who are different. And the nail that sticks up will be pounded down.
I like to think that the late dot in #3 had to go to “the little dots’ room.”
I think it's funny when the dots appear slower and faster than normal.
@@kenrutherford1109 yes so do I
Oh no… The dots are not socially distanced. They all have it now 😁😁
I knew there'd be a COVID joke thrown in here for that one. lol
This is almost like a studio logo with different variants.
Yes, definitely.
This is also a testament to the power of music and orchestration in helping to express visualization.
When the day finally comes that we get to see the grand conclusion to these, we'll have an even better example of this.
#7 is my favorite. It begins with 2 dots, then stops then it goes REALLY FAST, and ends with a 3rd dot blowing raspberry
The first seven of these premiered to the world 52 years ago today.
right ... 54 years ago today. Nov 10, 2023. (are you a year off , or is TH-cam messing up the X years ago on your posting? it is saying "1y ago" on the comment, so the debut should have been 53 years ago. being Nov 10, 1969.)
I was on the floor laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, back in the 60's, so funny (70's?)
I don't remember laughing at this when I was a child in the 70s, but they sure do crack me up now. I keep coming in here lately to watch the disobedient third and last dots so I can laugh some more hahaha.
I think they didn't stay long as a feature on the show. not far into the seventies, I am sure.
I remember a good number of these, no question. The unwelcome square and all the last ones listed, I never got to see. Fantastic compilation!
Now I'm having dreams that they're making new ones, revealing facelike features within the dots, and in one dream, a dot was playing with his phone and causing disruptions that way.
I used to laugh at the imperfections and the square imitation made me laugh
I just made my own video of the 40 Dots Clip that they made. I love this animation stuff by Sesame Street! :-) I had a blast watching the show when I was a little kid in the 70's & 80's!
These early sketches are just so bizarre! Peace.

Cool to see comedy stripped down to something so simple
i remember the dots, they still loom large in my memory.
These have always made me anxious. And yet I'm watching.
They used to give me the same reaction as a kid, for two reasons:
A. I wasn't terribly fond of chromatic scales at that time.
B. You didn't know what was going to happen next after the long, suspensive pauses, and the sudden rapid-fire sequences in the 5th and 7th parts hammered that uncertainty home. In addition, the dotless wall represented darkness to me, so when the dots would disappear, it would trigger a fear of the dark-like anxiety.
And then, those faceless dots were given voices, which made them even creepier to me. But that's all in the past tense now.
@@MonsterpieceTheatre I bet that 3 medical tests can be made out of this at least
This is perfect comedy.
for sure - musical and movement lol.
I'm suprised that after seeing stuff like this back in the day, looking at a Connect-Four game didn't send us all into a PTSD-related flashback. This didn't scare me as a kid, but I bet most classic Sesame Street segments woukd cause todays kids to need life long therapy.
plateshutoverlock This scared the crap out of me.
Answer me this: am I the only one who was traumatized near the end when I was a kid???
I'm sure you weren't the only one. I've commented extensively on the reaction I had to some of these as a kid, though in retrospect, I guess it didn't quite equal trauma, or if it did, I was able to get past it. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the revelation of the last couple from the 1971 series that I haven't seen since then.
@@MonsterpieceTheatre if only I was that lucky... I mean it doesn't reoccur a lot I just restumbled upon it just now. Sometimes it just pops the hell out of nowhere. Ergh, the buildup and screech was like his voice going to explode!!
@@TheIkranRider, I made a conscious effort in 1979, age 7 or 8, to sit through the one that gave me the most trouble (from the 1969 series), the one where dot 3 kept going red with each stop-&-start sequence. They weren't hardly showing the Season 3 ones by then, so I had to wait all these years to see them again, and I find that my earlier anxiety has turned into an obsession. I want so badly to see the last remaining segments.
@@MonsterpieceTheatre Huh. Never heard of that one.
I had nightmares of this when I was a kid. I going to have them now again at 53.
Mary Stroughton These used to creep me out too, because I would get anxious to see if something would go wrong, especially right before the end. I also remember the TV logos after the late night shows just before going to bed. Sometimes I would wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, hearing one of those logos replaying over and over again.
@@intylab Yesss! I'm seeing this again, and I'm getting anxious.
Ok.. I this gave me nightmares as a little d also😮.. I was trying to describe this to my husband and did a TH-cam search and here they are . Weird still
it was funny when the yellow dot went "PBTHPBLLLLLLLLLLTHHPT!" at the red dot and when the dots whispered, they sounded like ewoks
WOW! Haven't see these in ages! Just great!
Then you might like this one even more:

The farting noise is what made me remember this animation segment from old school sesame street, lol.
Hope someday you can find the Grand Dot/Square finale, wish I could just stick a cable into my head.
I'm with you there, MsPandaRosa! Read my comment, above--I,too, always enjoyed that one!!!
Hey, are you still among us?
It's official! My favorite characters on Sesame Street are the 30 dots!
I don't remember the coughing one or the "wandering square" or the "invasion of the squares." Did those come out later? I watched Sesame Street a lot from 1973 until 1983. I know that the show has kept making new stuff.
I don't know when they premiered, but they were shown occasionally during the mid to late 70s, not nearly as often as the 1969 ones.
Where did the square come from??
You might find out here:

@@MonsterpieceTheatre ok.
3:54 a squares!!!😂
4:27 a whispers
My favorites! Thanks!
This reminds me of BASIC programming.
Now that I'm an adult and see this, I couldn't agree more
The third and last dot are the imposters
Thank you for collecting these. I would be interested in having them tagged with the episode they appeared in, if that information is known.
There's a more complete collection I compiled last year:
th-cam.com/video/KgWouececk4/w-d-xo.html
I like the part where the dots get all tentative when they pop up LOL so hilarious! And the one where they're all red, and the end one is yellow! lol.
When I was a small kid, I found the suspense a bit startling, which I was adverse to. Only when Show 1299 aired did I begin to come to terms with this aversion.
@@MonsterpieceTheatre oh me too I'm sure
I never like the music when they appeared all red. Seemed depressing.
Today the behavior of the dots would have frown upon as xenophobia
This was posted on my birthday!
How about a 26 Alphabets parody anyone?
Here is the list:
1. First Perfect
2. Second Perfect
3. Z is Late
4. Z is Early
5. C tries Red
6. Whole alphabet goes red
7. C kisses Z
8. INVASION Of The NUMBERS
9. Kicking the Square
10. Unwelcome Zero
11. Wandering Zero
12. H coughs and leaves
I love that idea
Great stuff how many dots sketches were there?
As far as I know, there were a total of 15: the first seven were made for Season 1 (1969), and eight more were made for Season 3 (1971).
#7 has always been my favorite.
#7 I always thought that dot tooted on the red one.
Always had trouble counting them dots. Confusing.
jim68 h
I don't think I bothered counting them when I was a kid. I just liked to watch them pop on the screen with the music lol. (yes I was in grade school at the time and math was my best subject)
This is great.
Remember this as if it were yesterday
Okay, those last sequences were definitely Terry Gilliam inspired😂🤣.
Btw, if you want to see a more 3D perspective of the prejudice of shapes, I recommend the 1973 National Film Board animated cartoon Balablok.
Number 7 is my favorite.
The nostalgia is killing me
4:27 Blue dot, a square.
BRILLIANT!!!
I knew they weren't typewriter keys, but to me that's what they looked like.
Not gigantic braille dots? (JK) Part of why these sequences were a bit scary to me as a kid was because the dots reminded me of light bulbss in a stairwell, and it perpetuated a fear of the dark when they would disappear after the 3rd dot went red. The suspenseful silence and darkness was unsettling, as well as the descending chromatic music.
wat are those images in the background i see?for example ; 6:38 top left . looks like an image of an eye
Station logos, I presume.
#3 reminds me of the ballet Serenade, with the late arriving dancer.
I have seen some of these sketches on HBO Max, they were hilarious.
I'd love it if they and the Workshop could give us more Season 3.
@@MonsterpieceTheatre me too, that way, I could see segments no one has seen in years.
Very good video
Wow I wish these were more well known but regardless they look really cool and in found of how they use more then circles in these shorts the later ones that is
Thanks for that
Remember this very well - still know the tune
It's a shame you had to tell people what's going on. When I was 5 i figured it out for my self.
wow pretty smart:)!
There was a segment where the dot coughs and is replaced by a little one
it causes some minor problems
One with just the squares
and the cooperation one with both dots and squares
How about a "30 Smileys" parody, someone, anyone?
LOL! I like the late dot x))
I remember sequences 1-3 ... after that, they're all new to me. Did they run after the mid-80s or something?
Not too much; the perfect one, late dot, early dot, and raspberry (all from 1969) were probably the ones that got more syndication into the mid 80s, and they were all probably retired by the early to mid 90s. The 1971 sequences hardly appeared at all in the 1980s and beyond.
1:20 - 1:24 (repeatedly tapping BACKSPACE)
Somebody somewhere has to have the last few, check those tapes guys
Ohe yeah, somebodies do … muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Dot_Bridge
… Unfortunately, I'm not in that elite circle.
MissMadson Entertainment, Inc. presents...
What if they brought back 30 dots, along with a new segment featuring Larry the Cable Guy?
Cool. ik hoop dat Ilvy het net zo interessant vindt als ik 😙
Hi! I would love to use the 30 Dots series to demonstrate some basic premises of Sociology to undergrads. Do you know where I can find this collection, but WITHOUT the titles? The titles give away the "rule" that one of the dots breaks. I can't use the titles if my plan is to make my students think through what they are observing, and think through how they know. (Also, the title is the punchline, and the point of the dots is that children, at a very early age, can recognize social "rules" and laugh when they realize they understand. The music gives enough clues. The titles remove the opportunity to learn, I think).
The first seven came from the show's premier episode, and the others appeared in later seasons. If you want, I can re-edit the video so that no title segues appear. Do you want me to send it via Dropbox or Google Drive, or upload it as a private video and send you the link? There are still others that I have yet to find.
Monsterpiece, you are AMAZING. If you could upload it and send me the link, that would work great! Google Drive would work too. It's faster in the classroom to use TH-cam though, weirdly enough.
I'm going to put the link in this message thread, as well as in the description; TH-cam is a bit ambiguous about its spam guards and personal messages, so this is the only way I'll know you'll get it. Good luck!
th-cam.com/video/EkOW6-BPWYc/w-d-xo.html
Let me know if you see the link either in this message thread or in the description of this video.
They are also used in Miss Madson's videos.
4:47 was that square clearing his throat?
yeah, but the dot walked away.
Blowing Raspberry 3:42
I swear these are all couched analogies for the Cold War. Yellow circles turning red, squares treated with fear and loathing...what else could it be about? ;-)
+Sean Wilkinson - Interesting opinion …
I always wondered what the point of these were. I understand the letters, numbers, and naming things, but these dots don't make sense in an educational show to me.
If you watch the 1969 Pitch Reel, Joan Ganz Cooney explained that Sesame Street was a very experimental show. The only time (I know of) that more than two of these appeared in one episode was in Episode 001. Throughout most of the 70's, you might've seen one or two of these in a given episode. Although they were mainly intended as short transitional films, some of the later ones dabble in the "basic reasoning skills" initiative, i.e., how to rearrange circles when there's a square occupying a corner of the screen.
For some reason I don't remember any of the ones involving squares. Just round dots.
They weren't shown as much as the original series. Here's the complete set:
th-cam.com/video/KgWouececk4/w-d-xo.html
What years did these air? I was watching in the early 70s and don't remember this.
The first 7 clips aired since Episode 1 (Nov. 10, 1969) and throughout Season 1. I don't know if they aired during Season 2, but some of the "squares" ones began to surface during Season 3 (E.K.A. was Show 355).
The south park video brought me here
2:09 the dots and the orchestra are pissed
I like how sometimes there are variations in the orchestration, like deciding which instruments played the figure, and what octave the vibraphone was to play in order to get the most effective ring-out whenever dot-3 went red.
I swear each one's more filler-y than the last lol
Is that a SOB DISNEY log 8in the top left corner
Those were taken from Iftah Ya Simsim episodes, so I assume the logo came from there.
Miss madson entertainment inc brought me here
#7 STILL makes me cry I laugh so hard!!!
I like to think the red dot got beaten UP in 5!
corjonbett Yeah, those four hits of the … um … floor tom, kettle drum, tympani … certainly made Dot 3 turn colors.
+corjonbett Think about it. The first time they're like "Okay, let's try this again.", the second time they storm back to him and have a brief staredown with him, then finally they storm back like "THAT DOES IT!" and take care of business.
3:43 (blows raspberry)
The intercut titles spoil every joke. :/
1:41 middle of red dots.
4 dots???
03:27 Fast 30 Dots
Red its stopped
sounds like the dots are speaking japanese rather than gibberish
It does sound like Japanese, but since I can't understand Japanese to know if it actually is, we'll just call it gibberish for now.
why do I imagen these with Koro-senseis different faces?
