I hope Season 36 has more episodes, more old clips

[ssetta]

No, it will probably start in the beginning of April, as it has for the past 2 years.

How Do You Know Ssetta???

Because My Local PBS Station WHYY (The Philadelphia PBS Channel Just Said That To ME!!!!)

 

[ssetta]

But that's just a local PBS station. You see, I actually spoke with someone at Sesame Workshop, and THEY'RE the people to ask.

 

[salemfan]

Why did PBS start to only want 26 episodes per season starting in Season 34?

 

[ssetta]

That's because of their budget. They're doing this so that they can afford to make all sorts of new series as well.

 

[salemfan]

You mean PBS has to pay for the TV episodes that they order?

 

[ssetta]

Obviously. I think that any TV network has to pay for any shows they air.

 

[salemfan]

1) I know because I talked to Sesame Workshop.

2) PBS only wanted 26 episodes so that they can save money to produce more new series.

AHA! So it WAS the budget to blame, but it was PBS' budget, not Sesame Workshop's budget. Why isn't Sesame Street PBS' top priority anymore? And what has gotten PBS limited with money?

 

[ssetta]

Because they have so many other shows they want to produce, such as Dragon Tales, Sagwa, Cyberchase, Arthur, Maya & Miguel, Postcards from Buster, etc. etc.

anyone know why they're producing so many more shows than they have in years past?
