The Furchester Hotel 4-Disc Box Set DVD
The Furchester Hotel is the mid-2010s British-American puppet preschool series from Sesame Workshop, set inside a furry-monster-run hotel where the small Furchester family (Funella, Furgus, and their daughter Phoebe) and their cousin Elmo from Sesame Street manage a parade of unusual guests with creative problem-solving. The show aired on CBeebies in the UK and PBS Kids in the United States across 2014 through 2017, with a sprawling 82-episode run.
The format is the appeal: each episode pairs a fresh hotel guest's small problem (an upset porcupine, a ding-up-prone Isabel, a hibernating Mr. Huggles, a missing key, a stubborn donkey) with the team's running attempts to solve it, holding the show's signature blend of preschool problem-solving and Sesame Workshop puppet craft as the engine. Episode titles like "Welcome to the Furchester," "Don't Eat the Guests," "Mr. Huggles Hibernates," "Hotel Inspector," and "The Babysitting Service" telegraph the show's commitment to gentle preschool-friendly storytelling. The puppet work is unmistakably Henson-tradition.
For mid-2010s preschool TV, this was a confident swing at extending Sesame Street's storytelling into a hotel-set spinoff, sitting in the lineage of Sesame Workshop puppet programming. Suited for the youngest viewers, fans of Sesame Street and Elmo, and anyone with affection for the broader Sesame Workshop tradition of teaching through warm puppet character work.
Heartwarming standouts include "Welcome to the Furchester" (the opener), "Don't Eat the Guests" (an early classic), "The Caterpillar Catastrophe" (a fan-favorite small-stakes turn), "A Big Bird Surprise" (a Season 2 highlight), and "Changing Rooms" (a closing-stretch favorite). This 4-DVD collection brings 82 episodes of The Furchester Hotel into one place, a deep slice of the hotel library in one set.
