"Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

Yooo', anybody got a confirmation on that airdate?

That's neat to know. I'm not seeing anything on HBO's schedules though (even the "blanked out" spaces in prime time don't seem to match the time WGBH suggests it runs).

Actually, now that it's up, looking at the HBO schedule for 11/17, it doesn't seem to be airing on that day. There's no blanked out space.

I was looking at the other weekend nights prior to the 17th.

I just looked on the NHPBS website, and it says that it's scheduled to air on Sunday, November 17 at 7:00 PM.

K, so a few other PBS stations around the country seem to confirm a November 17th airdate, for PBS at least.

HBO's November 10th schedule seems to have a gap just big enough that it could be the special.

In all honesty, it makes sense it would air on HBO first and not simultaneously - gotta get that exclusive edge.

You're right! I actually didn't realize there was a gap!

I just now noticed the noise-canceling headphones Julia is wearing.

Has Zoe pretty much not been on the show for a while now, or does she still make occasional appearances?
