Title: Sesame Street is getting gentrified, new landlords at HBO

My bet is that they're going to put in high density trash can themed housing with artisanal cheese shops on the ground level and call it "The Oscar"

Post by: Himu on August 14, 2015, 08:58:57 PM: It's a 9 month delay? So it still airs on PBS? Ok, I'm fine with that

geez, its almost like this whole 'indiscriminately slash the govt and arts funding especially' mentality of a certain political party could have some unforeseen (or easily seen) consequences.

I thought I read that double the episodes is just from them moving from an hour episode format to a half hour episode format
