 Bring on more of the Old School! November 7, 2008
Just got Old School 1 and 2 and sat down to show my 4 kids what their pappa grew up with.
They all enjoyed it, including my wife who didnt grow up with Sesame Street.
Love the old charcters, Harry Monster, Grover (suppose he is still around but it seems Elmo hijacked his spot), overall just the flow of it - good stuff.
They make learning fun - well, in truth the kids dont know they are learning, but they are counting & subtracting, etc. without even realizing it. Thats how learning should be.
Personally I love the hippie style - Im laid back and loose, so I suppose this affects the kids as well.
(i.e., if your not laid back as well and take things lightly, you may need to stick to modern Elmo.)
Also, our kids dont watch much t.v. - most kids who over zone on todays t.v. probably wouldnt care and even begin to relate to the presentation of old school.
I say they need to release a pack of all the episodes...no biggy really...just not sure if they think they can get their money back on it...they are focused and pressing on with the cleaned up version of todays sesame street - no rought talk or frustrated Don Music there. lol
Anyway,
Peace

Love Sesame Street? October 18, 2008

I love this as much, if not more, than my kids. Not only do I feel nastalgic for the good ol' days, but it reminds me of why Sesame Street was created. Some of the greatest and most memorable segments are in here. I haven't watched the first season because I think this is closer to the time when I was a kid and all the kinks from the first season would have been worked out by the second season. I just love Grover and Prairie Don, Bert and Ernie. You can see that some of these characters have just about disappeared these days through the inclusion of Elmo's world and all the things they do with new characters. While I don't mind them, I miss the guys I grew up with. This is great to break out when you've watched re-runs too many times! I end up sitting down and watching the show with the kids, and they like that as well!

My husband and I enjoy this collection as much as my 2 year old does. We loved watching Sesame Street as a child, and some of our favorites from childhood are included here.

Got this as a present for my kid, and to relive my growing up days.

OK, there is some disclaimer at the beginning of this that children these days should not watch this and that it is only meant for adults to reminisce. I assume it is because of cookie monster or something, seems silly to me. I watched this with my toddler and I think it's fine. It is certainly more appropriate than junk that teaches kids to dress like hookers (I'm looking at you, Bratz).
I loved watching this with my daughter, old school Sesame Street is so much better than the junk on these days. Most stuff these days are nothing more than CGI with no story or real entertainment value (Ice Age, Cars, Skrek, the Disney channel). I really enjoy this because it is very creative. They are on a really tight budget, but they do a good job putting together all sorts of different skits and songs with a lot of variety. And I even get a legitimate chuckle every now and then--unlike the eye-rolling lame jokes on Hannah Montana. This is perfect for kids and adults to enjoy together.
