If you’re looking for something to keep your kids entertained over the next few months (and potentially longer), YouTube would like you to know that over 100 classic episodes of Sesame Street are now streaming on the platform.
The partnership between Sesame Street creator Sesame Workshop and YouTube were the first announcement last year and encompasses both old episodes and new content. Some of the themed compilations that have also been added to YouTube and YouTube Kids focus on specific educational topics such as ABC and STEM, while others have broader themes like “Adventure and Imagination” and “Friendship and Play.”
Media history buffs also have good reason to check out the new Sesame Street archive. The very first episode, which aired in 1969, is included, back when Kermit the Frog was still hanging out with Big Bird and Bert.
The YouTube partnership should not be confused with the also recent Sesame Workshop deal writing with Netflix, which saw new episodes of Sesame Street – now in its 56th season – is moving to the streamer and PBS from its former home on HBO. The network chose not to renew a decade-long partnership.
