the streamer has picked up the show given cuts to public television and NPR. The entire back catalog will also be available
Peppa Pig also on board
do little kids still watch it? I remember spending many bored hours watching because there was nothing else on but soaps
Yes
Unlike the HBO deal, PBS will get new episodes same day.
Yes. wimsey jr got a healthy dose of Sesame St when he was younger.
Similar to what you describe, I myself got Sesame St. because the very nice, chain-smoking, spend-all-day-in-a-bathrobe-watching-General-Hospital-while-her-husband-was-at-work lady who babysat me from roughly age 4 - 7 would get tired of myself and the couple other babysat kids griping about the soap opera drama and demand some kid stuff.
Yay, I suppose, but I can’t stomach it. I have too many professional bad memories of out-licensing Peppa Pig. Anytime it comes on I find myself thinking, “Ahhh, jesus mary and joseph, I still want to throttle that opposing counsel who thought we’d do an exclusive PP deal without any kind of minimum payment…”
i did love the Count and Piggy was more of a role model than they suspected
wimsey jr is consistently mortified when i am at a fast food counter or something and say “we need one…two…thr-r-r-r-eeee glasses of water, please!”
To be fair, it is embarrassing. I just have started to reach the point in my life where my self-awareness & self-respect are starting to fray around the edges, and I also relish opportunities to mildly embarrass my child. It’s a convenient developmental confluence.
Or a sign of early dementia
Probably 50/50 odds between those choices
My personality crafted to annoy my wife is 50% Ernie and 50% Fozzie Bear.
Somewhat related to sesame Street, by I recently showed my 8 year old daughter the old swedish chef videos from the Muppets and she can’t get enough of them. It brings me a ton of joy to watch her laughing hysterically at these old shows.
Miss Piggy was a Muppet Show creation; she never did Sesame Street
But I can see that for you 
I guess I am more of a Grover kinda guy?
My daughter loved super Grover. Her diapers were sesame street ones. So like 50% of the package were Elmo, then some big birds, Oscars, super grovers. But she only wanted to wear super Grover’s, especially when she was tired before bed. So we would save a super Grover. Then place another character under it so she’d think she was getting a super Grover. The lies you tell your kids.
