Bring Play With Me Sesame to HBO Max

The Issue

This show is a spin-off to beloved Sesame Street and a member of Sesame Workshop.  I was hoping HBO Max would have it in its Sesame Workshop collection for children and some people who grew up watching it.  But the truth is, it's not on there or on any streaming service.

I watched Play With Me Sesame on Noggin when I was really little and it made my imagination run wild as I interacted with Grover, Ernie, Bert, and Prairie Dawn on TV.  The segments I remember the most were "Ernie Says" (similar to Simon Says) and Move and Groove with Grover.  However, when this show aired on Noggin, it had a few segments in each episode that just disappeared after it stopped broadcasting and they were never shown again during reruns on PBS Kids Sprout.  For instance, I remember a couple of Move and Groove segments where Grover and the viewers played "I'm a Little Airplane" and Prairie Dawn and Grover sang "Mahna Mahna."

I know a lot of people including myself really miss Play With Me Sesame as well as some of its memorable playtime segments. So if we could solve this issue together, we can achieve this goal and watch at least every single episode.

SIGN and SHARE this petition and let Sesame Workshop know how much you loved Play With Me Sesame and how much we want to be able to show it to children in every generation.
