YouTube has just made it easier for parents to keep their little ones entertained for months to come with the addition of over 100 classic episodes of Sesame Street now streaming on both YouTube and YouTube Kids.
As part of a collaboration between Sesame Workshop, the brainchild behind the beloved children's show, and YouTube, fans can now enjoy hours of nostalgic content featuring iconic characters like Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, and Bert. The platform is also offering themed compilations focusing on specific educational topics, including ABCs, STEM, "Adventure & Imagination," and "Friendship & Play."
For media enthusiasts with a soft spot for retro television history, the new Sesame Street archive is a must-visit destination. The very first episode of the show, which aired in 1969, has been added to the collection, providing a fascinating glimpse into how Kermit, Big Bird, and Bert were introduced to audiences back in the day.
While this development marks an exciting new chapter for Sesame Street on YouTube, it's worth noting that the partnership does not overlap with another deal recently penned by Sesame Workshop. The show has indeed made the leap to Netflix, with a decade-long relationship with HBO coming to an end as the network opted not to renew their contract.

My little nephews are obsessed with Sesame Street and it's awesome that YouTube is making all these classic episodes available again. I mean, who didn't grow up watching Kermit and Big Bird teach kids about letters and numbers? It's like a blast from the past for me too - I used to watch the show when I was a kid and now my own kiddos are enjoying it just as much.
i'm also loving the themed compilations they're offering especially the abc one since my kid is learning that in school rn 
but yeah it's kinda weird that sesame workshop signed a deal with netflix already... guess we won't be seeing those episodes there anytime soon 
. The themed compilations are genius too, my little one loves learning about ABCs and STEM concepts 
. I'm just hoping YouTube Kids gets an update soon so we can watch all these classic episodes together 
. Can't wait to introduce Kermit and Big Bird to the next gen! 
I mean, I'm sure it's super educational and all that jazz, but let's be real, they're gonna end up watching cat videos or playing Fortnite on YouTube Kids instead of actually learning anything. And now Sesame Street is just another option to get sucked into the endless scroll vortex... 
The themed compilations are a great idea, too - my daughter loves learning new things about ABCs and STEM 
, especially with the themed compilations focusing on educational topics. It's also super cool to see the very first episode of the show from 1969 - it really gives you an idea of how much history and nostalgia is packed into this iconic show 
.
Still can't wait to dive into the new archive and revisit some of my childhood faves! 
. Now we can binge-watch classic episodes together, it's going to be a lifesaver! The themed compilations are also so cool, my child loves learning about ABCs and counting numbers (I'm not ashamed to admit I need help with that too 
). It's great that they're including old episodes of the very first season, it's like taking a trip down memory lane. And, um, Netflix is where Sesame Workshop is headed now... I don't really stream on Netflix myself since my phone doesn't support their app 
. Anyway, can't wait to start watching some retro fun with my kiddo!
