These shows were created for the children who do not get the opportunity to go to preschool . They are/were broadcast on stations that function off donations. With all the money that this franchise (Sesame) makes from their products and such, the last thing that you would image happening is being charge for re-runs. I am not complaining, just stating facts, currently I am unemployed and struggling. While I am job searching and online learning, I try to make sure my young son has educational activities. I can barely afford the internet and basic cable service but then I am supposed to pay for re-runs that were originally free. So much for helping the underprivileged.

This show along with all the other Jim Henson programs touched children in my generation and those after me. So many issues like death (Mr. Hooper) making bad choices, peer acceptance, child-adult relationships where presented in a way that helped children explore, feel, and deal with real problems. As for costing money, it was free to watch on tv, but it does cost money to make it available to watch on a phone. The cost is likely for the convenience of format not the show.

I'm 44. Born in April of 1975. My mom was a single mom doing her best on her own and I watched Sesame Street CONSTANTLY. It was my favorite show that made me laugh as well as taught me how to read, write, count, avoid danger, be kind, share, and imagine. I never felt like I was learning because it was so much fun. I watched well after I was supposed to stop. In fact, if I run into old clips, I still will watch. Classics only. When Jim was alive. I miss old school SS ♡♡♡
