And the Next Cancelled Show is...

I know that Jim Henson and the Children's Television Worksop wanted to keep the Muppets and Sesame Street as separate entities during the negotiations with Disney, but now I kinda want Disney to swoop in and buy Sesame Street, because I have a feeling it's not going to be around much longer on HBOMax.

Disney hasn't had a fucking clue what to do with the Henson Muppets since they bought them, so I'd be a little leery of them buying Sesame Street. Not to mention they've already got their own kids lineup, and I'm not sure where Sesame Street would fit into that.
 
I am still pissed they kicked Vinyl and Brink off the network. It's one thing to mess with HBOMAX created stuff and stuff licensed to them from other places but don't fuck with the HBO material IMO. HBO was great before it got a MAX added to it. Messing with that content should be a big no.

Were you planning on watching Brink or Vinyl anytime soon?

Sesame Street should be on a publicly funded network, period. The last thing we need is a company in charge of it that's always chasing the bottom line ahead of core values. This is how it got into this situation in the first place. By moving it to HBO, they were hoping to give it more financial backing, but then it got into this mess. If need be, it could become a co-production between different worldwide public broadcasting networks.
 
David Zaslav strikes me as really scummy. And I suspect that the backlash will be pretty bad especially if HBO Max and Discovery+ lose subscribers.
 
Sesame Street still airs on PBS. HBO just gets the episodes first. The problem is they absolutely ruined the show when they made it 30 minutes, half of which is animated and the other half is the Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster show.

The deal I remember, is that HBO makes it (pays for it) and airs it first, and then PBS gets it months later for free.
 
This blew up in their faces the last time they put Jay Leno in the 10 p.m. slot. I'm assuming that the local news would just start an hour earlier.
