 a question about sound quality and static October 27, 2006

I love the collection for the most part. I haven't had a chance to watch the episodes to see everything that is included. I do have a couple of questions, though. I noticed static in the "Loaf of Bread" skit. Has anyone else noticed this? Should I return it for a replacement? Also, I noticed that the first epi shows the Wanda the Witch cartoon twice. Or am I crazy? Otherwise, I am loving it and can't wait for the next set.
Yes Virginia, there was a Sesame Street before Elmo... October 27, 2006

I have been an avid fan of Sesame Street since the age of six weeks, when my mom placed me in my baby swing in front of the TV on an autumn day in 1976.
I just received this set today and I watched it from beginning to end. The episodes are crystal clear, fully restored, and completely unedited, unlike the versions shown on Noggin. I saw many clips that brought back fond memories, including the classic sketch where Bert is disturbed by water dripping in the bathroom and asks Ernie to "do something about it". In response, Ernie turns on the radio to drown out the sound of the faucet, and then turns on the vacuum cleaner to drown out the sound of the radio! Absolutely hilarious! All of your other old school Muppet characters are here, including Grover, Cookie Monster, Oscar (shown in his original orange color and his telltale green fur), Herry, Little Bird, Kermit the Frog Prairie Dawn, and of course, Big Bird and Snuffy! All of the actors look so fresh and young and you gotta love them 70s outfits! In addition to the five season premieres, there are also "classic clips" from each season as well as the original sales reel hosted by Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog (who would later star in the Muppet Show) explaining what this new show called Sesame Street was all about.
I am glad that Sesame Workshop (formerly known to us old schoolers as the Children's Television Workshop) finally listened to the pleas of us thirty-somethings. I hope that there will be more episodes to come. This is a set that I will treasure for years to come and someday hope to share it with my own children.
Imperfect, yes. But a welcome development. October 26, 2006

Thank you, Sesame Workshop. Yes, some of us would've liked season sets or something approximating them. Perhaps, someday, you'll get there. But this is an incredibly trip down memory lane, and for what it is, it is lovingly compiled and the bonus skits are well selected.
Please, Sesame Workshop. 1975-79 next, and then '80-'85. And then go back and do season sets. And then Square One TV.
But this is a great start.

This is the stuff I grew up on. Its about time they put the old Sesame Street on dvd for all of us Gen X ers as we are called. There are 3 dvds in this set. From the ground breaking first show in 69, to 74. This is pre- ELMO, just thought I would let you know, and oh yeah, Rubber Duckie is on here. Havent seen or heard that one in years. They just done make em like they used to. I heard they were thinking about taking Sesame Street off the air. If that happens, it will be an end of an era for sure. Mr. Rodgers, Zoom, and the Electric Company are long gone....Its sad...Grab this dvd pack. You wont regret it.....
Thanks for Finally Taking Us to Sesame Street! October 11, 2006

Simply put Sesame Street is the best children's educational programming ever created. It's smart, funny, and timeless. All three of my children have benefited greatly from watching this show (as did I as a child). Other children's shows are very good and entertaining but from my own personal experience I'd have to say Sesame Street is still tops in teaching. I can't wait to share this box set with my two year old daughter. I'm sure even my two older boys will get a kick out of seeing what I used to watch when I was a child. I'm hoping this is a first in a long line of comprehensive chronilogical collections to come!
