Trickle-down kids' TV: Sesame Street will air on HBO 9 months before PBS

No man, the real beef is mirrored in the latest Star Wars thread about where the fuckin originals can be had.

My kids loved the 1969 pilot that is available on youtube, and I would like to give them more episodes from the 69-74, some of which can be had in clips, some of which can be seen in the short “classics” series available, but for the most part all of those hundreds of episodes can’t be had.

There’s some clips on PBS, but not for Canadians, though I don’t care about that I’ll use a US DNS, except 14 two minute clips is a tease & doesn’t capture the flow that made them so watchable, so unique & new.

My boys looooove original Oscar, they loooove Johnny Cash singing Nasty Dan to Original Oscar. & they don’t show anywhere near the same reaction to modern sesame street.

Except for clips there’s just 5 episodes available from the 69-74 period & I think it’s a loss.
