I always knew I had an elephant's memory, yet it blew my mind how many Sesame Street segments there were swimming around my unconscious, stuff I'd forgotten that I'd remembered...like the hypnotic "hey cow, I see you now"...and the trippy animated number segments sung by Grace Slick...and all those fabulous Muppet moments.
At the age of 36, I fall into the sweet spot of the Old School demographic, but I'm not sure why the Sesame Street Workshop (which I knew as the Children's Television Workshop) felt compelled to stick in that animated disclaimer about how little kids today wouldn't like it and that its value is strictly nostalgic.
The sales reel, starring Kermit and Rawlf (I didn't know this muppet dawgy existed in 1969!) and the geniuses who created the show and did all that test marketing with their intended audience, is, just like the actual show, both entertaining and educational.
Watching Old School made me so happy (despite not having had the happiest childhood in the world) that now I'm going to have to get the Electric Company on DVD.

My only complaint about this is there's only five episodes. I don't expect to have all them, there were hundreds, but one for each letter would be nice. The thing I've really noticed is the slow pace of the show. It's really nice. Kids' shows today are so fast-paced, it's no wonder they can't sit still! My five-year-old is really enraptured. She's only seen the current Sesame Street a handful of times. When she watches it, she picks up Elmo's annoying habit of calling himself Elmo and Baby Bear's bad diction and I spend a week undoing the damage. I'm really glad to have a few "real" episodes for her to watch, I just wish there were a a few more. I'm enjoying it, too. I'd forgotten about the guy who falls down the steps with his pies. She thinks it's funny, too! We haven't seen it all. I hope Kermit is on one of the episodes. I just love "Kermit the Frog, reporting for Sesame Street News."
Edited to add: One of the features on the second disk is a selection of songs. There is a "play all" option, but it only plays the first song. That needs to be fixed.

I had been looking for the Sesame Street show on DVD. Well, it's here and it's wonderful. Classic Sesame Street at it's best. Very educational and entertaining. My son is almost 4 and he loves it! If your child is going to watch t.v. it might as well be Sesame Street.

worst video we've bought - stick to the newer videos - the kids like them better.

I loved seeing the old skits that I remembered and loved as a child. I was so excited to share them with my children. But, I expected a complete library of all their skits from 1969-1974. They only included a few letters and numbers, and even repeated some of the skits which irritated me. I didn't pay to see the same skit about the number 2 three times and the letter D twice. My kids still love them, but I was disappointed with the collection.
