Yeah, he was. Imagine the timeline in which the US government launched and killed Big Bird with a fucking rocket live on television for the world to see.
Ya reckon sesame street would do an episode explaining death to kids, or would they pretend it never happened?
They’ve covered death several times, actually. Here’s a clip where they cover Mr. Hooper passing away.
Neat :3
Never had the show where I like afaik, so I don't actually know what they covered or not lol
The best part of that show is how it grew with the times, while approaching difficult topics.
If you buy the old seasons on dvd, they come with content warnings saying they aren’t really suitable for children anymore. But back then they were so hugely progressive!
Dude, I would love for these puppets to stumble and try to explain why Big Bird got yeeted into the afterlife. Followed by a photomontage of him with “Time after Time” playing in the background.
