The music...I can hear it.

Just in case you missed "I Still Think of You, Jim Henson"

:(

"I... I just... need to talk to someone."
*calls Kermit*
*no answer*
*suicide*

Lost it at the rubber ducky.

@XYLENE "Mr. Hooper's not coming back, Bird..." and then the weeping.

How about this:

@mcmjolnir Mr. Hooper episode was shot in one take.

I love when Maria (my favorite, along with Gordon and Bob in this scene and as characters) is genuinely crying.

I was profoundly impacted by this episode as a child. Parents and children were supposed to watch it together. I watched it alone, like most children did. I remember lying to my parents when they asked me what was wrong. My reply, "Nothing."

I felt more adult after that, after knowing that I didn't want to, or have to, explain my feelings to people who did not exactly share them.

I think that is all the proof I need that Sesame Street is a very worthy teacher of children.

@mcmjolnir I also love that Sesame Street intentionally chose to be not in any way euphemistic, remain utterly secular, and teach children an atheistic lesson about death.

"Death is forever."
