The Martians appeared in a series of quickies that first aired all together as the cold open of Sesame Street Episode 3387, then later as standalone, repeated segments.
On a brick wall in a limbo set, The Martians encounter the physical letters A and U, and a telestrated on-screen number 16 (replaced in later broadcasts with a different graphic). They are each underscored with electronic music evoking a playful, otherworldly feeling. The Martians identify each character before running away in fear at the end of the 16 segment.
