"This is part of a new plan whereby the streamer will prioritize adult and family programming. Children’s programming, such as Looney Tunes and Sesame Street before it, doesn’t fare as well and is no longer viewed as a priority. Other spinoff versions of Looney Tunes remain on the service, including six seasons of 2020’s Looney Tunes Cartoons, two seasons of 2015’s New Looney Tunes (the third season and some episodes from Season 1 are not available), two seasons of 2002’s Baby Looney Tunes, 2021’s four-episode scripted podcast Looney Tunes Presents: Bugs and Daffy’s Thanksgiving Road Trip, two seasons of 2023’s Tiny Toons Looniversity and its corresponding 42-minute Tiny Toons Looniversity: Spring Break special (though its winter spinoff is not streaming), five seasons of 1995’s The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and two seasons of 2022’s Bugs Bunny Builders."
Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with not prioritizing children's content. Just sounds like commies erasing the past like usual
I’m curious as to why Sesame Street is considered a target now? Tf did Elmo do to the commies?
This is the most offensive thing here. Who actually cared enough about this abortion of a show to not only preserve it long enough to be put on streaming, but also save it from the chopping block before anything else?
Everything else you could argue is just them keeping the "newer" works to try and control the IP and recoup costs on them, but that single outlier proves otherwise and that it absolutely is them erasing the past.
