In 1981, “Simon and Simon”, TV Crime Drama; debut on CBS. Garfunkel and Garfunkel have yet to have a TV show. The Odd Couple meets Magnum P.I. with brothers Rick and A.J., the detective agency of “Simon and Simon.” In the pilot, the boys are hired to find the missing stepdaughter of San Diegoʹs top news anchor.

In 1983, 20 years after the JFK assassination, another shocking TV death occurs, but at least this time Americaʹs parents are ready to help explain it to their children: Will Lee, who played Mr. Hooper on “Sesame Street,” has passed away at age 74. The showʹs producers were faced with the problem of how to explain the disappearance of Mr. Hooper. Rather than simply have another owner buy the store or have Hooper move away, the producers chose to wait until Thanksgiving Day to deal with the concept of death — so that parents could watch the show with their kids. Big Bird is reminded by neighbor Susan, “When people die, they donʹt come back.” “Ever?” Big Bird whispers. All the neighborhood adults are there to comfort Big Bird as the camera pulls back. “I was glad my friends were there. They said we can always think about Mr. Hooper. And I do. He used to make me birdseed milk shakes.”
