You do realize that Sesame is the one producing the actual footage for the DVD, not Shout?

I think the half-hour change also affects that. When you have an hour show that has 30+ two-minute pieces (and 100+ episodes), there's ample oppertunity for multiple characters to get their due. Now there's basically no niche outside the street story for characters other than Elmo, Abby, or Cookie.

Three different performers were needed to take over for Brian's characters. That doesn't say "not diverse" to me.

Was he? Telly was in virtually every episode from when Brian handled him until the half hour change. Even then, Telly was around with some frequency because I think Joey was championing for him. I don't expect him to get like his own storyline this season, and apparently he'll barely be around...

MWOZ can be purchased on various sites (including the Disney-owned Movies Anywhere), so why it's not on D+ is strange to me. LTS too; maybe the fact that it was made for NBC has something to do with it? Those Disney Drive On webisodes should be there too. They got lost in the shuffle when...

I had a jury summons last January; I was there a number of hours and never got called to be screened. I got a check for $5 and apparently won't be called again for five years.

Well, by contrast, season 45 had 39 celebrity guest appearances across 26 episodes, whereas the current season only has 6 across 35 episodes.

No. There was an article from 2016 about how they were cutting back on spoofs and celebrities and adult-targeted jokes because research found that adults weren't watching with their kids as much anymore, so to better focus on what kids like, they essentially stopped those things. They've done...

Every single script says Piri. Once would be a mistake, several times, no.

Considering Disney just collaborated with Henson for Earth to Ned (and how they got Kermit back in Emmet Otter and Christmas Toy), there might be something there that would allow the two to strike a deal for this particular series. Say what you will about music rights, but keep in mind that...

I believe it's going on their new section called "Star," which is for much more mature content.

Given that he also had some onscreen bit parts on the Jim Henson Hour, it doesn't seem likely that we'll see those either.

I feel like the Swedish Chef is so divorced from any normal reality to be truly offensive.

That song is 100% ironic. It's by Shel Silverstein, so you know it's not supposed to be serious. I would wager it has to do with the "Swanee" number (using Dixie and "Mammy!").

I expected people to get upset about the content itself and tweet about the Confederate flag and such. I did not expect people to be so up in arms about getting told about that stuff.

I didn't actively dislike this one for once this season. Maybe because it focused on funny characters and not just Elmo and Abby. Good to finally see Ernie and Bert for once, and Biff and Sully!

Are you sure about that? I read that one of the founding ideas was that they couldn't find a decent website to see the Janet Jackson Super Bowl clip, so they thought of their own site where things like that could be uploaded.

Maybe?

Since at least season 50, I think.
