Gesner produced film and animated inserts for the test pilots and first season of the show, notably the number bridges featuring dots and several segments with live-action hands (labeled "Features," "Wall," and "Strong" in ASCAP registration). The scores for these segments were also registered in Gesner's name (although according to Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, Joe Raposo actually scored). His own song, "Happiness Is" from the Charlie Brown musical, was also performed in early episodes. (First: Episode 0007)

  • Gesner produced film and animated inserts for the test pilots and first season of the show, notably the number bridges featuring dots and several segments with live-action hands (labeled "Features," "Wall," and "Strong" in ASCAP registration). The scores for these segments were also registered in Gesner's name (although according to Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, Joe Raposo actually scored). His own song, "Happiness Is" from the Charlie Brown musical, was also performed in early episodes. (First: Episode 0007) Gesner's other major contribution to the early Sesame Street never made it to air. He produced several studio skits, taking place in a futuristic, white space, with two children as the main characters. This idea was dropped in favor of using an actual street. Gesner would move on to The Electric Company as a song writer; his "Sign Song," written in 1972, was later performed by Big Bird on the 1977 Sesame album Signs! Gesner was one of several writers contributing to the 1974 special Out to Lunch, with the Sesame Muppets and the Electric Company cast. Gesner had written music and scripts for Captain Kangaroo and Bob Keeshan's other children's series, Mister Mayor, and for the topical satire series That Was the Week That Was. He wrote another Broadway musical, The Utter Glory of Morrissey Hall, which opened and closed on the same night in 1979.
