why would you expect that?

"The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is an American public broadcaster and television program distributor. It is a nonprofit organization and the most prominent provider of educational television programming to public television stations in the United States..."

Elmo talked to children like babies. Before elmo, Sesame Street treated children as adults. They still do at times.

Come on. Elmo did some awesome music videos. With Norah Jones: https://youtu.be/FEzxchU4RUY With Katy Perry: https://youtu.be/PwZnCkoX5gI And my absolute favorite, better than the original, with the Goo Goo Dolls: https://youtu.be/uGohKgNOXnU Edit... but... yes... the Elmo Numa Numa tops everything: https://youtu.be/2rAKszSX2tU (which btw, was indeed uploaded 11 years ago, but I think has an erroneous view count..)

I still just want one simple place to stream all (most, or half, even, would be great, for that matter) of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and pre-Elmoization Sesame Street for my kids. Anything else would be a welcome bonus but I mostly just want those.

I wish there was a way to get all of the episodes of Mr. Rogers, especially outside of the US. Current offerings really lack the patient approach he exemplified. There's one DVD set with just 30 episodes, no digital downloads anywhere.

What is "pre-elmoization" Sesame Street and why do you think it's better?

Big Bird used to clearly be the "main" or primary point-of-view character. He behaved somewhat older than the lower range of the target audience and so was a good aspirational, but not unrelatably-old, character for them. Then Elmo became highly bankable (Tickle Me Elmo) and they leaned hard on him. Elmo is... not as good for modeling behavior and interactions.

PBS Digital Studios is one of the best things on YouTube. I particularly like SpaceTime, Eons, and Crash Course. There are many others, too. https://www.youtube.com/user/pbsdigitalstudios
