So this November is going to be the 40th for this very iconic, but very sad, Sesame Street episode.
My question is this: originally the episode was seen on Thanksgiving 1983. How many of you got to watch it on the actual day? If you did, how did it affect the holiday? Did your parents/relatives talk about it when your family was together, as CTW intended apparently? Anything else?

I wasn't born yet when it first aired, but I remember seeing news reports about it when I was maybe 4 or 5? My mom made it a point for me to see it, even though I barely comprehended what I was seeing.

I didn’t watch it live because I was suffering from the notable ailment of not having been born at the time.

I thought this was going to just be a picture of a skeleton or some dirt.

Having not watched Sesame Street in ages, is the Mr. Hooper picture still near Big Bird's nest? Last I think it was called attention to was one episode when another bird wanted to buy it off him.

I saw this air…but I doubt first run. Definitely saw it as a kid and it made an impression. I’d have only been 4 when it aired. But I definitely saw it before I was like…7
