Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

Do they at least have the new episodes? That would make me happy enough, unfortunately I don't even have cable anymore and nobody put these episodes on torrents or on bootleg sites.

Yes, but widescreen makes it less annoying.

Loving the new season and how they will be bringing back some Jerry Muppets. Can't complain so far, looking forward to all episodes to come!

Or do the obvious thing: Make more newer ones.

It would be great if they did. But it's obvious that this is yet another fun little problem with their shrinking budget. They make such and such amount of episodes before hand, split them up (completely unevenly) and reuse them as much as they get their money's worth, adding a couple extra held out episodes for the next season before more reruns of the same segments in the new episodes which are spaced out to an annoying extreme. Simple answer is, they can't make any more because the budget is going to Crummy Pictures and (maybe) ETM.

Yeah. I see what you mean. Also I've noticed that it's often repeat episodes where they put all the good new stuff in and episodes with newer street stories just use the repeated segments. It seems like they're never consistent.

What happened to Gabi?

 

[Daffyfan4ever]

You got me, but Miles left a few years back. I know it's sad when longtime cast members leave, but it seems like Chris, Leela and Mando have taken their place as the resident 'young adult' cast members.

Episode 4411 (airing on Halloween) is the Jerry tribute. Classic characters returning include Guy Smiley and a few others in the Jerry episode.

Guy Smiley! The Ready To Learn commercial with him is so funny!
