HBO will no longer produce new episodes of the iconic children’s show Sesame Street, marking the end of nearly a decade-long partnership with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind the series. Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of HBO and Max, has chosen not to renew its deal with Sesame Workshop, which allowed the series to premiere new episodes on HBO platforms since 2015. While Max will continue streaming past episodes through 2027, the search is now on for a new home for future seasons.
This decision comes after years of significant changes to the show’s tone and content, much of which upset parents and long time advocates. During its time with HBO, Sesame Street moved away from its original focus on broad educational themes to increasingly spotlight progressive ideologies, including identity politics and social justice messaging Many parents and critics voiced concerns about the show’s evolving direction, arguing that it has prioritized political agendas over child-friendly content. see more
Marxist always target the kids. Little do they realize it only serves to get them to start questioning why disjointed reality of the left thrives never matches the reality they see themselves.
It went woke a long time ago, so no great loss.
Communists ruin everything.
So does that mean that the episode where Elmo transitions to Elma, Big Bird identifies as a squirrel, and Ernie and Oscar get married (to each other) gets shelved?
They can just run re-runs of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the kiddie hour, these kids are screwed anyway.
The Leftist writers of Sesame Street made the show too WOKE to where HBO will no longer want anything to with new episodes. Maybe they can get Soreass to cough the money to produce new episodes of the show.
1985’s “Follow That Bird”, with its message that its better to live on the street than with a loving adoptive family that doesnt look like you was the end of the road for me. Everything they said then was progressively worse about being progressive and worse.
The last of the great “kids shows” was “The Three Stooges”. It’s been downhill ever since.
Don’t forget Looney Tunes and Rocky and Bullwinkle. I took my son and nephew and niece to see Follow That Bird (Nerd) when they were all little in 1985. The original Muppet movie was better. My son liked Godzilla 1985 better and cried when they killed Godzilla.

Yes Looney Tunes! Foghorn Leghorn and Yosemite Sam!
We grew up on the Three Stooges, The Little Rascals, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, The Roadrunner, Cops anf Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, BB guns, rubber bowie knives, buckeye fights, firecrackers etc and no school shootings!
Doing that stuff today is an invitation for CPS to darken your door! Just numb the kids with Television, video games, gender horsehit and cell phones Now school shootings are off the chain!
Great job Liberals! You’ve worked hard for over half a century to fuk up the next generation any way possible with your irrational bullshit!
They need to have one last episode where everyone goes to Springfield Ohio and they all go back to Sesame Street, except for Big Bird.

What do you say when you are approached by a Jewish person at Yosemite NP?
“Yo, Semite”.
@Harry,
You forgot “Loogie” fights…boys only. You’d work up a load of snot, transport it to your mouth, curl your tongue up around the edges, then fire it – a snot missile. If the other guy was expecting it and was mobile enough, he would dodge it just in time. Disgusting – sure, but funny.
