    Sesame Street Season 55 News and Rumors

    I've noticed we're coming close to what has been the season premiere date for the past several years. However, I haven't heard anything about Season 55, or seen any promos for it. Though I do remember last year reading that the major changes weren't going to happen until season 56. But I read...

    PBS Retro

    I don't know how many of you notice, but there is a new channel on Roku called PBS Retro. As you may have guessed, it has some old shows on PBS. As for right now, Sesame Street is not one of them, nor is any Sesame Workshop programming. It has Mister Rogers, Reading Rainbow, Zoboomafoo, Kratt's...

    How can Sesame Street be a BAD influence on your life?

    As we all know, Sesame Street is one of the most successful children's programs ever on TV. So nothing bad should come out of it. However, for me, a few bad things did come out of it. Remember the iconic "Cowboy X" animation where he marked X's on everything in town? I actually did the same...

    Select classic Sesame Street episodes now available for viewing online by AAPB

    I just decided to go on the AAPB for the first time in quite awhile for some reason, I don't know why. But I noticed something very very interesting. They now have a few episodes that are available for viewing online by the public. It's only a select few, and they're mostly episodes that are...

    Rumor: Supposed app to have old Sesame Street episodes from the 80s and 90s

    So a friend was just telling me she heard about this new app to be launched within the next 2 years or so that will have almost every old show from the 80s and 90s, and she heard that Sesame Street was going to be on there, but I'm a bit surprised I didn't hear about it because I feel like this...

    Here's an idea...

    I don't know how many people here are familiar with pluto tv, it's basically a free streaming service that has all kinds of programming on it, some which can't be found anywhere else. It makes me wonder if there could be a channel that has old episodes of Sesame Street. I'm suggesting this...

    What episodes would you like to see on HBO Max?

    This is not a fantasy thread, this is realistic thinking. In other words, I'm not looking for unrealistic, wishful responses like "all of them!" because that's obviously not going to happen. I'm asking you guys which classic Sesame Street episodes you guys would like to see on HBO Max the most...

    Bob McGrath on Facebook live November 7, 2021

    So Bob McGrath just went on Facebook Live today for the first time, and has done a few other videos on Facebook as well as pictures of himself. And I have to say he seems to be getting very elderly and has a lot more wrinkles, white hair, and somehow he looks very frail. He is 89 years old, and...

    Could Sesame Street possibly leave PBS in the future?

    So I've noticed that while PBS does still air Sesame Street, it sort of seems like PBS is not Sesame Street's real home anymore. It has gotten so commercialized, hence the characters appearing in so many commercials. I'm not saying this is completely a bad thing, but this never would have...

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    I've noticed we're in the middle of season 51 and Telly has not been on at all. It almost seems as if they've done away with him. I've noticed that Oscar isn't really on anymore either. He's been in 2 cold openings, but that's it. Why do you think this is?

    Sesame Street no longer on HBO Family starting 11/1

    For the past 5 years, since its launch on HBO, the subchannel HBO Family has aired Sesame Street every morning twice. On November 1, that will come to an end. So I'm guessing that all of the episodes that are currently on the regular HBO will move to HBO Max.

    Episodes that have sponsor inserts with the wrong sponsor

    I've noticed from reading the guides that there's a few episodes that have sponsor inserts in them that were from a sponsor that did not sponsor the episode. Episode 1291: The sponsor was 8, but it had the Ringmaster #2 cartoon. Episode 1989: The sponsors were J and R, but it had the Consonant...

    Episodes that may have to be cancelled, or wouldn't be appropriate to show in these times

    I know that production of Season 51 has currently been halted, but that's not even what I'm talking about. I'm talking about episodes that have already been filmed, some have yet to air, and some have already aired ... that really would not be appropriate to show during this period of time we're...

    Nearly Missed

    I've actually been wondering about the classic song "Nearly Missed" from the Sesame Street Book & Record. I know that most songs on there were featured in Season 1, but now that we have full guide info for all the Season 1 episodes, it would appear the song was never used in season 1. I wonder...

    Has anyone seen this segment before?

    This clip has been on Sesame Street's official YouTube channel for over 10 years now, in fact I think it was one of the very first clips they ever uploaded. However, with all this episode info on Muppet Wiki from the early 80s (which one YouTube user commented this is when the song was from), I...

    Make classic Sesame Street available online (petition)

    So there’s a petition to make all the SS episodes that have been given to the AARP to be available online, which I think is a wonderful idea. I don’t know why they wouldn’t be. So please sign this petition to make it happen...

    There's got to be a way to get some of these episodes?

    So as I'm sure a lot of you have seen, a lot of new episode guides (with pictures) have been showing up on Muppet Wiki. So that means that they are available. I know Scarecroe said that he wouldn't post videos, but I know that a few short videos have been posted on Muppet Wiki. But my point is...

    Will HBO renew their Sesame Street contract?

    I recently got to wondering if HBO will renew the contract to air Sesame Street after Season 50. Because I'm pretty sure when the HBO deal was announced back in 2015, they said the contract was 5 years. And I haven't heard if HBO will renew it. It could mean, and I certainly hope not, that...
