Lewis Bernstein on how Sesame Street dealt with 9/11

Sesame Street producer Lewis Bernstein shares the goals of the show as it aimed to help children in the wake of September 11:

“We immediately had a meeting and said, what can we do that will somehow resonate with children? … children are not oblivious to what's just happened. We need to find a legitimate way to deal with it. So we said, let's do two shows that deal with children's fears and deal with the trauma.”
