Hi, I have a student who is doing work on representations of death in the media -- most especially on TV. She is keen to get hold of an episode of _Sesame Street_ in which 'Mr Hooper' dies -- apparently because the actor who played that role had died. In the episode other members of the cast tell the kids of Sesame Street about Mr Hooper's death. I know it is a very slim chance, but would anyone on this list know of a tape of this episode, or have a copy of it. Please note that my student does not reside in the US. Thanks for any assistance. All the best, P. -------------------------------------------- (Dr) Peter Hughes Honours Coordinator Media Studies Program, La Trobe University, Victoria, 3086, Australia. ph: +61 3 9479 3065 (w), fax: +61 3 9479 3638 (w) http://www.latrobe.edu.au/media Screening the past.
