Removed sections[edit]

As I told Georgia guy, the creator of this article, on his talk page, this article is an excellent idea. I think that two sections brought over here from Sesame Street, "Funding" and "International co-productions", better belong over there, so I put them back. If we need to, we can place some of the same information as it relates to this article, like something about the funding problems that led the CTW/SW to turn to creating media and using licensing to generate income. That includes their co-productions, which they also use to make money. Christine (talk) 12:46, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Schizophrenic article[edit]

This poor article; it doesn't know what it wants to be! ;) I've been seriously considering improving this article when I'm done "researching" Sesame Street. The tendency for this article is to want to be about all the products made, but who would want to read that? Some of its current content better fits in other articles. Thinking about it, I think that the focus of this article is the story behind all the products and licensing: the reasons why the Workshop turned to merchandising, which was to raise money. The products mentioned should support that point. That being said, I think that some of its current content should be removed and new sections should be added. For example, instead of a "Broadcast history" section, perhaps it should have a "History" section about the genesis of the Workshop's fund-raising efforts, Henson's part in it, the whole "Tickle Me Elmo" thing, and their conflicts with the federal government over funding. (The O'Dell book--Women Pioneers in Television [1] is a good source to use, I think.) I may work on this in the coming weeks. Christine (talk) 12:31, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possible merge[edit]

As per this article's successful GAC, I am making a recommendation that the content in this article be merged with Sesame Workshop. I've begun a discussion here: [2] All interested parties, please refer to the discussion and participate in it there, if you like. As I state there, if there has been no disagreement about it, I'll complete the merge in about a week. Thanks. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 07:05, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
