'Sesame Street' Coming to iTunes, YouTube, and Hulu

iTunes, YouTube, and Hulu Soon Taking You to Sesame Street
The show 'Sesame Street' is about as iconic as anything that ever hit the small screen, with generations of kids growing up and then sharing the same televised fun and learning with their own kids. Despite bein well over a quarter-century old, the show continues to be one of the most popular educational programs on TV, and finally is branching out online, spreading its content wings onto iTunes, YouTube, and Hulu.

The three services are currently engaged in a battle for online video supremacy, with Hulu and YouTube both competing to offer free and full TV shows episodes and films through a variety of partnerships and deals. In this case, however, full episodes will not be available for free online. Both Hulu and YouTube will offer a series of clips and highlights from the show; if you want more, you'll need to hit iTunes -- and cough up $1.99 per show.

On top of that, only relatively recent episodes will be available for download. The reason isn't because nobody cares about the old episodes, but rather because the show's distributors are working on a DVD collection of the first 10 years. That, kids, is what you call capitalism. [From: Yahoo! News]
