I always thought it would have been nice if they could have revealed him to one person at a time. So that one person would have actually seen him, and then go back screaming to the rest saying, "I saw him! Davis: You know, the first thing that comes to mind is that bimodal audience that they always talked about and writing something that would be appealing to adults as much as it would be to kids. Having Phil Donahue being the protagonist kind of making fun of himself and his show was hilarious.
When you have a parent viewing with their child, they can ask questions and spawn a conversation. But it held him up just long enough so that the cast actually showed up, and saw him there.
And so, one by one, down the line, it was this line of shocked faces. And they all came up and shook hands with him. Delgado: We were all amazed that this giant elephant-looking thing was actually real.
You get a big reaction from everybody, and everybody was very happy Big Bird had been telling the truth all along. He was very happy people believed him. Stiles : Big Bird [said] "Well, now what do you have to say?
Rubin: It was incredibly respectful of a child. Delgado: It was kind of a big party. Like, "See, I told you he was real! Rubin: It was so honest. Parente: [A line like that] is exactly what we look to the child experts for, bringing in or soliciting experts to weigh in on specific dialogue to get it right.

Snuffy got topical again in , when the show decided to depict his parents going through a divorce. Parente: It was the first time in history we ever taped an episode and then didn't air it.
Stiles: He had kind of this family going and it helped that we had this family. Parente: We knew enough to put it through the rigors of testing before it would air. And it was a lovely episode, but we found kids were upset after watching it. They were just not familiar with what divorce was.
Now all of a sudden, they walk into the kitchen and see their parents arguing about something and they go, "Uh-oh.
Despite the hiccup, Snuffy has remained a high-profile and viable member of the Sesame gang for well over 40 years. Parente: One of my favorite things is to see people meet Snuffy for the first time. He takes your breath away. Davis: Sesame Street at its finest moments always found a way to include humor and to use it to help smooth things along and to help it go down in a way that was acceptable.
