Against Big Bird, The Gods Themselves Contend In Vain

doctordisaster:

There are too many Sesame Street specials to count, and most of them have climactic revelations along the lines of, “Oscar learns that not everyone likes a grouch” or “Elmo learns the real value of sharing.” Yet once, just once, a bunch of writers at the Children’s Television Workshop actually decided to run with “Big Bird overpowers the will of gods and demons in a quest for celestial justice.”

Holy crap this is the greatest thing ever.

This. Is. AWESOME.

    I remember watching this! And it made total sense to small-child-me that Big Bird could defy the will of the gods.
