Can somone explain Sesame Workshop?

Ok i know that SS is now made by Sesame workshop. but who owns it is it PBS cTW or what im really really confused about it all.

Also do you think that Disny would try and buy SW so the muppets could be reunited. i know i seem out of the loop but please help me out on this.

Sesame Workshop is Children's Television Workshop (CTW). Some years back they changed their name. Sesame Workshop (formerly CTW) owns SST and always has. PBS airs SST.

I believe Joan Ganz Cooney's (a driving force behind the creation of SST) exact words on the idea of Disney owning SST were 'over my dead body.' As Joan is still alive and well I don't see Disney having much of a shot at SST.

At this point, Disney could only help matters.

Only if they can stop you from whining again....

How? I don't have a TV, so I haven't watched SS lately, but to me it is very comforting that, although the Muppets have to be split up, SS continues to be free of Disney. The Muppet split up would happen anyway because Diwsney doesn't want the Fraggles.

You hit the nail on the head, Whatever. I mean, what can Disney do to SS? A lot of things that would make you cringe. I do not like how the SS characters are split with the TMS characters, but as long as they stay Disney free, they'll continue to entertain children. Besides, do you really want to see a CGI cheapqual to Elmo in Grouchland?

Go play in Elmo's World.

 

[Drtooth]

I will... and I will not get epileptic seizures from 1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10, 11 12.....

Good. The new shows were dumbed down for people who can appreciate them.

It could be worse. They could mix Sesame Street with Inspector Gadget.
