OMG this is so exciting!! Like some of the most exciting news I've heard in a long time.

That sounds nice, but personally, I would prefer to just stick to watching the recordings and digital copies of Sesame Street episodes that I’ve saved from Google Photos and the Internet Archive.

I first learned of the news on Facebook just now, and I am so thrilled! However, I certainly hope it's different episodes from what was offered on HBO Max a few years ago.

I expect that many episodes already on YT will likely be purged in the months leading up to January 2026. I expect that the classic episodes will likely be released by one of the official Sesame Street channels.

This will be a prime time for me to download as many episodes possible.

I actually just thought of something else. Look closely at what the post says. Does it say that it will be classic episodes? No. It just says that it will have hundreds of episodes, not thousands. Hundreds of episodes have been produced, even in the last 10+ years. It's possible that all of the episodes will be newer. And even if they do have classic episodes, they will be very heavily edited. Remember during the time of the 50th anniversary, they had a live stream that lasted for a day that just had 4 episodes playing over and over all day, and 2 of them were from the 2010s, and the others were 1 and 2485. I remember they were very heavily edited. This was before HBO Max.

See this is honestly a case I feel like you’ll just be unhappy no matter what’s put out by them.

While i am excited that full Sesame Street episodes are coming to YouTube! You'll have to remember that they already have 55 on the official channel (and all of those are from post-Season 23). So i really doubt they'll touch upon the episodes from 1-23, but let's wait and see!

 

[LittleJerry92]

Ah, right, yes. Anything post season 23 can’t be declared as “classic.” I forgot.

 

[BC&TWFTW]

I just meant in terms of the seasons itself, i'm not saying post Season 23 isn't declared a classic at all

I honestly don’t care which episodes Sesame Workshop puts out on YouTube. Whatever they put out is okay with me. I’m certainly not going to get upset about it and go into a hissy fit unlike some crazed fanatics out there. There’s far more important issues to worry about.
