I mooch off my friend's HBO Go account. The American way!

I'm not sure what kind of continuity this show exists in anyway. They say they've been doing the late night talk show for years, which doesn't fit with the recent movies. And there's been only one use of the word "Muppet" outside of the intro, so it's hard to say whether these are "The Muppets"...

I do look forward to some of the characters being less "mean" (though, that was softening a few episodes in). Not so sure about the way they're describing the new antagonist. They're making it sound very cartoony (I mean, the movie villains were, I guess). Nice to see the inclusion of other...

Murray seems to still be around in some capacity for this season. I'm almost certain the decision to trim the show down to 30 minutes was done before they started filming and as such, his stuff was probably nixed by then. And yet, they included Murray in the celebrity musical numbers they filmed...

That seems awfully petty and selfish. He's said it was over what he thinks is "heart and soul of the show." His characters aren't objectively that. If he sees so, then that's kinda egotistical. But, I don't think it's over that.

I doubt it. The set's only so big. The only ones getting "home bases" are Elmo, Abby, Cookie, Oscar and Big Bird.

Here's another article explaining the changes made this season: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/01/07/sesame-street-changes-new-season/78422700/ They certainly make sense.

News: March 1, 2016 will see a DVD of The Cookie Thief.

Abby's been in one EW episode (Violins), so it's taken from that.

They've been using EW in the new half-hour edits on PBS. I've only seen one, but it's cut down to about 7 minutes. It's cropped into widescreen as well mostly (the Noodle family segments are pillarboxed, framed by the window). So, if they're using segments in the new season, they'll be like that.

Another trailer from HBO: It's a little irksome that very little footage comes from the actual new material. And ew, EW's is re-running?

New episodes debut on HBO first, and are then re-run on HBO Family. The past five seasons, if I understand correctly, will air on HBO Family as well (seasons 45 & 44 are already on their schedule). An "classic" episode will only be available on demand/through HBO Go/Now.

So, the NY Daily News "reviewed" the first episode of the new season: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/hbo-debut-sesame-street-classic-winning-elements-article-1.2485605 Not much not already known (except that the "Letter"/"Number" intro songs are still there).

Let's get one thing perfectly clear here: HBO DOES NOT OWN SESAME STREET BECAUSE OF THIS DEAL. All they're doing is funding production. Since they're footing the bill for the show, they get advanced airings and streaming rights. That's it. HBO isn't affecting what DVDs they make, what toys...

It's a secret!

Even if you don't see the lyrics anywhere (it might be a rights thing), it's pretty obvious it's karaoke. It's a bar, after all.

Bubba.

I've seen an Instagram post that has Kevin among a couple other puppeteers at some type of workshop there.

I'm assuming whatever "classic" episodes they'll have will be on the "HBO Kids" service, not on the actual channel.

If that trailer is any indication, there will be some classic episodes (on demand). Though the "classic" stuff (aside from the one E&B clip) is from the late 90's, but we'll see.
