Hey, keep in mind final yr how the Warner Bros. Discovery merger resulted in (HBO) Max eliminating a slew of traditional Sesame Road episodes, the whole thing of Elmo’s Not-Too-Late Present, and different made-for-streaming stuff? I definitely do! A yr later, what’s the merger bringing us? Some synergy between Sesame Road and a few Discovery-owned networks! It’s like they learn my feeble thoughts!

The subsequent few months will carry us three new half-hour Sesame Road specials that includes personalities from the Meals Community and HGTV, and very similar to the programming on stated channels, the specials are actuality/competition-based. However they’re all about giving again to the neighborhood, so I assume that makes the entire “company synergy” factor much less unhealthy.

The primary of those specials is premiering subsequent week on August 10 on Max, titled Cookie Monster’s Bake Sale. The particular stars Cookie Monster (oh, duh, his title’s within the title!) and Eddie Jackson from Meals Community Star as they host some type of baking problem. And look! A trailer!

After that, anticipate two extra holiday-themed specials of comparable selection. Coming October 19 is Oscar’s Handmade Halloween, whereby Oscar the Grouch and Meals Community’s Sunny Anderson assist shelter canine discover new houses. Naturally, when one thinks of cute canine, they consider Oscar the Grouch. Lastly, on December 7, there will probably be Elmo and Tango Vacation Helpers, starring the 2 titular furry people and HGTV’s Jasmine Roth as they renovate lecture rooms. I can’t wait to see Tango utilizing an influence drill.
