PBS could not afford to produce new episodes of Sesame Street, so HBO Max (Is that what it is called these days?) saved it.
Then David Zaslav, who is known as C is for Cheap, lived up to his name and cancelled the educational series.
Well, today Big Bird and his friends got some G is for Great news! Netflix picked up the show for its 56th season.
Sesame Street’s reimagined 56th season will include the following new segments and format changes:
New ways to play along. Cookie Monster opens his very own Cookie Cart on Sesame Street. Will there be cookie chaos or a sweet treat with every adventure? Abby’s Fairy Garden is home to surprising and delightful magical creatures. What could possibly go wrong when Abby helps care for them?
To-camera moments. The characters speak directly to the viewers and invite them into the action—capturing emotions and interactions.
Animation overlays that highlight music, action, humor, and important story moments while adding visual excitement. Visual effects like wand sparkles, bubbles, and confetti will add a touch of anything-can-happen magic to the storytelling.
One 11-minute story. The longer format provides the opportunity to tell stories with even more character-driven humor and heart.
A new animated segment, Tales from 123 that takes viewers INSIDE the most famous apartment building in the world where they can discover the wacky and whimsical building that Elmo, Cookie Monster, and friends call home.
The return of fan-favorite episodes of Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck.
New episodes will be released later this year in three separate batches.
I have two words for Netflix, and they are thank and you! Thank you for letting another generation enjoy Oscar the Grouch!
Between 1983 and 1995, several stars, including Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Kevin James, and Drew Carey, were contestants on Star Search before they became stars. And now Netflix is looking for the next Brad Garrett or Usher.
Each week on Star Search, emerging performers in music, dance, comedy, and kids’ acts will take the stage to compete for a shot at the spotlight. The competition unfolds over time, with eliminations raising the stakes and plenty of surprises along the way. It’s part talent showcase, part high-stakes drama — and it’s all live on Netflix.
If you think you have what it takes to be the next Norm MacDonald or Billy Porter, then you can apply here.
As of now, the streamer has not named who will be the new Ed McMahon or Arsenio Hall, so I have two suggestions. They should ask Martin Lawrence, who competed on the show, or Marc Summers, who did the warm-up.

Ever since 1976, proms have never been the same because of Stephen King’s Carrie. Generations were afraid that they would get locked in their school gyms during their proms as a tormented teen covered in pigs’ blood murdered as many of her classmates and teachers as she could before burning it all down.
That was almost 50 years ago. Now, there is a new prom queen in town, and she is giving fear to a new generation of prom goers.
Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider puts herself in the running, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.
