HBO Max Launches with New and Classic Sesame Street!

HBO Max launched today and with it brought not only the first 3 episodes of The Not Too Late Show With Elmo, but a bunch of new and classic Sesame Street content as well. 

There are a few episodes from almost every season of Sesame Street including the entire run of the show's visits to Puerto Rico and Hawaii, both parts of R2-D2 and C3PO's visit, the week of hurricane shows, and many, many more. 

Navigating through HBO Max's interface to find them though is a bit of a challenge and is something I hope they fix. 

You can acces Sesame Workshop titles through the thier hub button:

or by doing a search for "Sesame":

Which is simple and straight forward enough, but here is where it gets tricky. 

As you can see above there are two different listings for Sesame Street. The one with HBO underneath contains the recent episodes includes the complete seasons 41-50, however for some reason there is also a selection of episodes from seasons 11-41 listed by default. 

You have to click on "Classics" to get to the menu which then lists the years or the selection of "Classics."

However, if you select the non-HBO subtitled Sesame Street, you get a list of available episodes by season instead. 

Here you will find a selection of episodes from seasons 1- 40. Some seasons have as little as 1 episode while other have 8 and, some reason, no episodes from season 13 are included at all. 

In addition to the new and classic Sesame episodes, and The Not Too Late Show With Elmo, the specials Sesame Street: Elmo's Playdate, Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration, and When you Wish Upon a Pickle are also available, as are the Sesame Workshop series Esme & Roy, the new version of The Electric Company, and Pinky Dinky Doo.  

Even HBO Max's incomplete Sesame Street collection will keep you occupied for some time. 

If you have HBO through the HBO Now ap, or through your cable provider (except  Comcast for now) then you should have be automatically have been upgraded to HBOMax.  

The HBOMax ap is available on iPhone and Android devices as well as, Apple TV, and is compatible with chromecast.
