HBO Max to Remove 36 Titles, Including THE NOT-TOO-LATE SHOW WITH ELMO Ahead of Discovery+ Merge
By Movieguide® Staff
Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming service HBO Max recently announced that it would remove 36 titles from the platform.
According to an HBO spokesperson, the change in the HBO Max catalog is in preparation for the platform’s eventual merge with Warner Bros. Discovery’s other streaming service, Discovery+.
“As we work toward bringing our content catalogs together under one platform, we will be making changes to the content offering available on both HBO Max and discovery+,” HBO Max wrote in a statement. “That will include the removal of some content from both platforms.”
The recent announcement saw the most considerable number of titles removed, including 20 original HBO Max shows like the Sesame Street spinoff, THE NOT-TOO-LATE SHOW WITH ELMO, and “a select group of ‘Sesame Street’ specials.”
Movieguide®’s review of THE NOT-TOO-LATE SHOW WITH ELMO reads:
THE NOT-TOO-LATE-SHOW WITH ELMO is an endearing, playful children’s show that’s interesting and educational. Though it’s not faith-based, the program often promotes good family values for young children. A few of the celebrity guests are well-known Christians, including The Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks, who performs a charming rendition of “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider.” It should be noted that some of the guests participate in personal lifestyles that aren’t complimentary to Christian living. Families are encouraged to be mindful of this factor while enjoying THE NOT-TOO-LATE SHOW WITH ELMO.
