Sesame Street "Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce" (partially found episode of children's puppetry TV series; 1992)

Originally intended to air on April 10, 1992 as Sesame Street’s 2895th episode was "Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce"; the episode was pulled before going to air after extremely negative reactions following a test screening and is notorious for being the only instalment of Sesame Street to have never been aired, even to this day.

As the title suggests, the episode attempted to deal with the sensitive subject of divorce, by depicting Snuffy's parents going through a separation. Many children allegedly came away from the test screening confused and with mixed messages; some of them interpreted the episode to mean that their parents no longer loved them while others were lead to the impression that their parents, like Snuffy's, were also going to get a divorce. It was decided that the topic was simply too difficult for children of that age to fully comprehend and the episode was scrapped entirely; episode 2895 was replaced with an episode focusing on Oscar the Grouch getting a visit from his brother.

"Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce" was originally intended to air on April 10, 1992 as Sesame Street episode 2895, but was pulled before airing after extremely negative reactions from a test screening. The episode attempted to deal with the issue of divorce, using Snuffy's family as an example, but many children were confused; some came away thinking that their parents wouldn't love them anymore, some thought that their parents arguing meant they were getting a divorce. It was decided that the concept was too full on for children, and episode 2895 instead became an episode centered around Oscar the Grouch getting a visit from his brother.

The episode, although fully complete has never been shown or released to the public in any form. The only physical evidence of the episode's existence available is a single screenshot found in the 2009 book Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street.
