I remember my dad telling me about a special episode of Sesame Street he watched in 1982 called “Big Bird’s Big Surprise.”
It received a month-long promotional campaign and was going to be the first episode to be aired live with an audience.
In Big Bird’s Big Surprise, Big Bird revealed that he was expecting a baby. Discussing pregnancy was incredibly groundbreaking for the era, especially for a children’s series.
The practical effects were also really impressive for the era too. Lots of respect to Henson and crew.
