Sesame Street divorce, Sesame Street has aired an episode which deals with the sensitive issue of divorce for the first time.
A scene on the issue had been originally written for the show in 1992 - but was a disaster when tested before an audience of pre-schoolers who misunderstood and became upset.
The idea was shelved until this year - when writers came up with a slot featuring a fairy called Abby Cadabby whose parents have been divorced for a while. The 13-minute segment will be aired online today.
