Against Big Bird, The Gods Themselves Contend In Vain

Click through for the whole article, although it contains some salty language. I am surprised by how much I misremember or conflate from when I was a child. Thank goodness for the internet :-D

I was a hard-core Sesame Street viewer from about 1979 to 1984, and my memories of the show are the sort of deep nostalgic tangle you'd expect, with a great deal of idiosyncratic noise blended into the signal. So, for many years, I carried around a vague but emotionally vivid recollection of a Sesame Street episode in which Big Bird and Snuffleupagus had witnessed the the passage of a soul to the ancient Egyptian afterlife, complete with the weighing of the human heart against a feather.
