I posted this before, but the thread where I wrote it no longer exists, so here we go...
Lately, I've become interested in this lost 1974 Sesame Street/Electric Company crossover where they take over the ABC network, to the point that I've started writing a fanfic that was inspired by this. It's amazing how thanks to the scripts resurfacing (are they posted anywhere?), we now know exactly what segments were in the special even though it's been long lost. Proof that at least some of the special still exists is through clips that were posted on Youtube back in 2005-06 that have since been deleted and going unresurfaced due to no one knowing how to download Youtube videos.
I was really interested in this one back in the day, but that interest has shifted over to the Margaret Hamilton episode since that one was banned and this one is well, just lost.
Dig around; I'm pretty sure I've seen the script on the internet (it may have been on eBay at one point), but I'm way too lazy to dig up links.

I tried, at least for a PDF file of the script, but all I've seen on Google are it's listings on the Muppet Wiki, Wikipedia and IMDB, a Muppet Central thread and a Youtube recreation of presumably one of the news segments.
OK, so I found out the reason this hasn't been released is because ABC owns it, so there's that, and ABC's end said that since it was a one-time special it would impossible for them to release it, so dang, it's looking bleak, but the fact that it was on YouTube is our ace in the hole.
