When the Children's Theater Workshop's Sesame Street first aired on television in 1969, it was a revolutionary new show aimed specifically at preschool children--an audience previously untargeted by television programming. Exhaustively-researched and tested on real audiences of preschoolers, this "experiment in kid programming" aimed to teach preschoolers the alphabet, numbers, body parts, rhyming, and basic reasoning skills while thoroughly entertaining them. Through the use of humor, the amazing puppetry of Frank Oz and Jim Henson, animation, the incredibly catchy music of Joe Raposo and Jeffrey Moss, and a fast-action pace borrowed from the television commercial format, Sesame Street was, and still is, more successful at educating and entertaining children than anyone initially imagined. What's more, the lessons learned by generations of preschoolers went far beyond simple school-readiness skills to include values like acceptance, cooperation, and inclusiveness because the urban Sesame Street was a place populated by people and monsters young viewers could identify with, where anything could happen, and where every ethnicity, generation, and species co-existed and interacted harmoniously.
Sesame Street: Old School Volume 1 1969-1974 offers a sampling of the first five seasons of Sesame Street and includes the first episode of each season in its entirety as well as a large selection of classic segments from each season highlighting some of the most memorable sketches ("Bein' Green," "Rubber Duckie," "Whistle a Happy Tune," and Super-Grover in "Telephone Booth"), favorite human characters like Bob and Mr. Hooper, and guest appearances by celebrities like Bill Cosby, Lena Horne, Jackie Robinson, Carol Burnett, and Jesse Jackson. Adult viewers will be transported back in time as they witness Bert's frustration with his ever-noisy roommate Ernie, chuckle at the antics of Grover and his demanding customer in Grover's Restaurant, and wonder if Snuffleupagus will ever show himself to someone besides Big Bird. Other well-remembered moments include pinball number count, the baker who inevitably tumbles down the stairway with a handful of cream pies, the ever-munching Cookie Monster, "Here is Your Life" segments, Bert "Doin' the Pigeon," and the inevitably grumpy Oscar the Grouch. Post-Elmo preschoolers and their parents will laugh, learn, grow, and connect with one another as they share this classic compilation of Sesame Street moments. Bonus features include the original sales pitch reel (introduced by Joan Ganz Cooney and hosted by Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog) and a thick booklet rich with history, trivia, and a pullout activity section for children. (Ages 2 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

My two year old became bored with the current Sesame Street Narrative. He loved Elmo for about 8 months but now is no longer interested.
However, He has been enthralled by the old school because the short and creative segments are trippy, and funny. Kermit, guy smiley, lots of bert and ernie and grover segments.
Also it seems there are no muppet characters on the current S.S. that are above 6 years old. Kermit was a perfect "adult" foil and interviewer.

If you've ever sat watching new episodes of the oddly blandicized noughties version of Sesame Street with your little one and thought,"This SUCKS. Elmo must be a lobotomized munchkin.I thought Sesame used to be great.Has my memory cheated me?",rest assured,it hasn't. The two volumes of these compilation 'old school' prove that the Sesame Street that Generation Xers grew up with in the seventies and early 80s was responsible for some of the most inventive,funny,creative,hummable television ever created ...

The product's description made it sound like there would be several episodes on each disk, but really its one to two episodes per disk. The quality of the film is pretty fuzzy & even somewhat blurry. The drawing that does the announcement is really annoying, luckily you can skip over him. I bought this for my young son, and while he likes it- I'm thinking I should have went with the newer episodes. I was really excited about buying the vintage episodes, but having seen them now I probably wouldn't buy ... Read More

I would pay a lot of money for a complete set of the ENTIRE series for 1970-1979. Why doesn't someone make one for each year and make it COMPLETE. Buying it this way was a disappointment and a tease. I would do ANYTHING and pay A LOT to find all the episodes for the 70s as I don't want my child to have anything to do with Elmo.

No surprise the really old stuff can sometimes be a bit rough around the edges, but really cool extras and seeing the changes, and no Elmo!
