- Overview
- Segments
- Notes
Trash Gordon is a science fiction adventure book which Oscar reads to Slimey to help him sleep. Introduced in Sesame Street Season 35, the segments appeared at the end of every episode, and replaced the older sponsor tags.
"Trash Gordon" features Gordon as a parody of "Flash Gordon," who finds himself stranded on strange planets and comes up with non-combative ways of overcoming his adversaries. Each segment ends with Gordon reiterating the sponsors of the day.
During Season 38, Trash Gordon is only seen occasionally. Other times, Oscar reads Slimey a different story, which also ends with Gordon announcing the episode's sponsors. In two episodes, The Adventures of Gina the Veterinarian replaced Trash. The segment was dropped by the end of the season.
is also a newspaper comic strip, as seen in the 2006 direct-to-video special Elmo's Potty Time. In the 2007 book Abby Cadabby's Rhyme Time, Oscar is reading Trash Gordon: Space Glory.
