This November (https://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/09/obituaries/will-lee-74-was-mr-hooper-on-television-sesame-street.html) is going to be the 40th anniversary for this very iconic (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/29864/late-movies-saying-goodbye-mr-hooper), but very sad (https://www.reddit.com/r/Xennials/comments/15hlq5x/rip_mr_hooper_the_saddest_day_on_seseme_street/) Sesame Street (https://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1936900_1936910_1936935,00.html) episode (https://interviews.televisionacademy.com/shows/sesame-street-farewell-mr-hooper#:~:text=The%20Sesame%20Street%20episode%20%22Farewell,had%20died%20the%20previous%20year).). Originally, the episode was seen on Thanksgiving 1983. How many of you got to watch it (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=19338.0) on the actual day? If you did, how did it affect the holiday? Did your parents/relatives talk about it (https://slate.com/culture/2022/07/sesame-street-will-lee-death-mr-hooper-episode.html) when your family was together, as Children's Television Workshop (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/5q7lxe/whats_the_most_heartbreaking_moment_in_television/) intended (https://www.the-solute.com/year-of-the-month-mr-hooper-my-father-and-grief/) apparently?

I love the drawings that Big Bird had for the remaining human characters.

God bless you always!!!
