After 45 years on US public network PBS, it’s been announced that iconic children’s show Sesame Street will be moving to cable network HBO which has always hosted a very adult lineup of television.
Girls, Game Of Thrones, Sex and the City and Entourage are among some of the network’s most successful series, all of which would probably not appeal to a five year viewers.
It’s baffling quite a few as to how kids show Sesame St will sit alongside the aforementioned programs but Jimmy Kimmel reckons he might’ve worked it out.
During Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel laid the audio of a Game Of Thrones scene over a Sesame Street visual and the results are, well, interesting. The usually delightful Grover taking a major turn.
Given that most have grown up with Sesame Street, maybe it wouldn’t be too outlandish to produce an adult version of the show. It’s probably not what HBO have in mind, tarnishing the show’s squeaky clean reputation. But we can only hope.
