I am 49 years old and excited to see Sesame Street on Netflix to watch old episodes.

Did anyone else *not* like Sesame Street as a kid? The whole tone of the program felt condescending. I much preferred watching The Muppet Show.

I am skeptical that full episodes of their back catalog from the 70's, 80's, and 90's will be available to stream.

I misread at first, which I'm totally blaming on my glasses, and thought you were saying they'd made a movie. And had a moment where I swore if they did what they did with Banana Splits, I was gonna go full Oscar.

I have heard that the version where it got ground up was decided to be too disturbing so they stopped showing it, and used the ice cream version instead.

Makes sense. I clearly remember the ice cream version. Same with the wicked witch from Oz episode . Legend has it it scared toddlers so bad they banned it for 40 plus years haha… I think the actual footage was just unearthed a few years ago actually .

We don’t have a Netflix sub right now but really Sesame Street leaving PBS was a kind of death knell for an era when children grew up with these same shows. I see young children as patients and what they watch makes me miss what we watched for them in many ways.

Meh. The impetus for Sesame Street was developmental, educational material to be PUBLICALLY available, thus, Socialism. Now, dialectally opposed or a historical movement of late stage Capitalism which subsumed the Spirit of the original. In other words, the Law of Contradiction. You become what you hate.

Is it confirmed that they’re going to have the back catalogue of episodes? When HBO Max originally launched they had most of the back catalogue and I remember watching all of the 1970s episodes during the pandemic it was actually very soothing. But then gradually, they started taking them all down.

each episode is less than 30 min long. It probably isn't much of a back catalog. It's a bummer too, because the 1970's and 80's episodes are very soothing to watch.

Rewatching some of the Muppet Show as well and it's awesome seeing some of those guest stars and thinking "my grandkids would have zero idea who this is or why we were so excited to see them on the show". If you have D+, there is a documentary Ron Howard did about Jim Henson called "Jim Henson - Idea Man" that is fascinating. What really struck me was that he was going to do something completely different when Sesame Street came along. He was always into making short films and little art movies and one of his stipulations for doing Sesame Street was that they let him do those little shorts in addition to the Muppet stuff. I legit never realized before that documentary that he did almost all of those little shorts between the live action stuff.
