'Sesame Street' faces uncertain future amid funding cuts and layoffs

I'm not trying to be snarky, but why are they even bothering to make new episodes? It's really only targeted at a narrow age range. Why can't they just watch reruns? It's not like the vowels or consonants change that much.

Sesame Street was highlighted in the 2024 Festivus Report (PAGE 33) from the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hsgac.senate.gov&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;FESTIVUS-REPORT-2024.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hsgac.senate.gov&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;FESTIVUS-REP...</a>

It’s abysmal what these cuts are doing to things that contribute to the greater good.

There&#x27;s little reason in 2025 the government should be supporting Sesame Street

&quot;Sesame Street was created to reflect the environment of the children watching it. The complete self-absorption of Elmo is brilliantly reflective of our time. Ours is a cultural ghetto. Wouldn&#x27;t you agree?&quot;
