Big Bird, who appeared on the Nov. 30, 1970, cover of TIME, tells us about the special place he calls home
When TIME set out to tackle the debate over children’s TV in late 1970, a year afterpremiered, correspondent Mary Cronin was sent to interview one of the show’s puppeteers—and ended up posing her questionsinstead. The story sent the message to TIME’s grownup readers that Sesame was a cultural phenomenon, and that its medium could serve a higher purpose than just entertainment.
All my friends live there. We have a lot of fun. We play all kinds of games, and we learn a lot together.I’ve learned everything I know on Sesame Street! I guess I’d say that it’s a place where everyone is included and everyone is kind to one another. And if you’re ever having a bad day or a tough time, there is always a friend nearby to help you feel better.
You must meet people everywhere you go who are interested in what goes on on Sesame Street. Why do you think that is? It’s true! Everywhere I go, people have heard of Sesame Street! I’m not sure why. I guess maybe it’s a little unusual to have birds, monsters, fairies, grouches, snuffleupaguses, and humans all living in the same neighborhood, learning and having fun together. Do you have that in your neighborhood?Well, in the last couple of years, we’ve had some terrific new neighbors move in,
… and we’ve started some new traditions, like Neighbor Day. The whole neighborhood comes! Everyone is invited, people share foods they love making with their families, and there’s music too.That’s a big number! You’re going to need a REALLY big cake for all of those candles. Maybe you could invite all your friends to come share.
