(CNN)The news that "Sesame Street" is heading to HBO has some viewers more confused than Tony Soprano at one of his therapy sessions.
Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch on the same network that features beheadings and full-frontal nudity almost every week on "Game of Thrones"? Really?
Hi kids! Today's episode of "Sesame Street," now brought to you by the letters, "WTF."
Sesame Workshop announced Thursday that the beloved children's show, which has been on PBS since its debut in 1969
, will be distributed by HBO starting this fall. Episodes will become available to PBS stations and websites nine months after they're on HBO. (Like CNN, HBO is owned by Time Warner.)
On social media, some observers couldn't help notice the partnership's cultural dissonance.
"You want to learn the letter F? I'll teach you the letter F," said one jokester on Twitter, alongside an image of an angry Tony Soprano.
