Why was SSU becoming so unpopular?

[mikealan]

Hello! I know that it's so sad that Sesame Street Unpaved and the Season 25 episodes of Sesame Street are almost gone forever and I'm just wondering about this.

Why do YOU think SSU and the Season 25 episodes are becoming unpopular?

 

[Jeffrey Gray]

Well, SSU is old, and has less/no Elmo, and thus kids won't watch it. Season 25 has less Elmo, and an "around the corner" location that will have kids asking why the episodes aren't set on Sesame Street...

Oh, no! I can't believe that nobody watched SSU and the episodes of Season 25, lol! I wish that they would be back on the air when Sesame Street turned 35 years old...

There's gotta be a nostalgia factor for the old SS eps. I mean the SS Unpaved book was written for adult SS fans. Perhaps Noggin isn't the proper outlet, but I hope the folks in charge of this sort of thing realize that there IS a market for them!

Well, I did suggest either a CTW Channel, or a "PBS Classic" channel.

But remember, Noggin has exclusive rights to any SS reruns...only Noggin can show them....

Noggin may have exclusive rights NOW. Now isn't forever. Things can change in few years.
