Line 31:
* [[No Budget]]: Since 1993, ''Sesame Street'' has been under compounding budgetary strain, and it shows.
* [[No Export for You]]: British viewers only saw the show intermittently and courtesy of [[ITV]] and later [[Channel 4]], because [[The BBC]] had declared it was "too authoritarian" to show on British TV. The series itself is no longer shown in Britain at all, although ''[[Elmo's World]]'' and ''Bert And Ernie'' are (as part of [[Channel Five]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HCpVyKtQvg ''Milkshake!'' strand]).
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Gordon. And Miles. Some of the Muppets' performers were also replaced.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Caroll Spinney was very close to being aboard the Challenger as Big Bird. But the expenses of sending him and the puppet suit into space however were enough to keep him off the Shuttle and its explosive fate.
** The pilot episodes had the Muppets kept separate from the humans and the street, but since the kids payed more attention to the Muppets in test screenings, they were wisely integrated.
