It's nice to see this one, but I can't believe they cut my favorite song, "D Duah Duah." What's wrong with it? Is it because kids were scared of the aggressive announcer?

Everything they've released to the Sesame Street Classics channel are the masters that were on HBO Max prior to August 2022, which explains the credits usage

Yeah, I think it's clear these full episode releases they're doing are primarily ones that had already been released on other platforms.

But the good thing about it is that this time the episodes are offered for free, unlike HBO Max. Plus, the episodes can also be viewed in Canada.

However, I highly doubt we are going to see some of the episodes that were on iTunes, such as Episode 1257, the debut of Telly Monster, and Episode 1285, where the cast gets locked out of their apartment building during heavy rain.

Actually, "D Duah Duah" was kept intact in an HBO Max episode from later in the 1990s.

Maybe i'm the only person that is bothered by this but man, I understand them uploading the same episodes they already had on HBO Max but I wish they used the original masters because the stretching is pretty distracting.

and like I get why they did it, these episodes were recorded on tape but they could have at least cropped the sides a bit instead of just stretching it to match the exact 4:3 aspect ratio.
