I was a little disappointed by this DVD set. I thought we would receive more than 5 full length episodes of the first 5 years Sesame Street was on TV. I do like all the highlights that include all the songs that are on the Platinum Greatests Hits CD that my daughter sings along with. I also wish that the viewer warning, These are not intended for young children, but rather for the parents to enjoy, was listed in the seller description.

This product will not appeal to today's children. I did not know that prior to buying it, but when my three year old daughter had no interest in watching it, I decided to see why. Once I started to watch the video with her, the narrator came on and said that this product was for adults and would not appeal to today's pre-school age children. He was right and that could be because the children of today are over stimulated and Old School Sesame Street does not stimulate them. If you have fond memories of waching the Sesame Street characters of old, and believe your children will too, let me warn you that they will not and you will be wasting your money on nostalgia.

This volume is very different; since Oscar the Grouch is orange in the beginning of the television show...normally he's green. The introductary segments are very new to me, since they don't show kids running, playing in the structures or ridding on a animal. Other than this the show is entertaining to the eye...unusual.

My daughter loves it and I loved watching it too, ah the memories!
Though Burt is very controlling.
They say at the begining that it may not be suitable for "today's preschoolers".
Gordon (an adult) does show the new girl around and then his wife Susan invites her in for milk and cookies.
Also the 70's Zoo scenes are kinda depressing.
And the kids also spend some of the time playing at an abandon construction site.
So I guess you should use it as entertainment and not life-example.
still brilliant though!

Nostalgia time. I grew up on Sesame Street, or rather I was just too old for it since it went on just as I went into kindergarten. Still it was always on in my house, thanks to two younger brothers. This is the first collection of the orginal epsiodes and for the most part its a treat. Here are the episodes pretty much as they played on TV originally. Wonderful.
If I could quibble I wish the set contained more. While I know economically it would be impossible to release a whole hundred plus episode season (it would be at least 30 DVDs) I wish the set had included more full episodes. Not that what they have included is bad, its not, but five is not enough. Like wise I would have liked more clips. There were so many wonderful pieces I don't see why we couldn't have had more. I know its kind of ridiculous to want more since between this and the second set so many great bits are included, but at the same time so much of this show has become part of my psyche (You wouldn't believe how much I sang and spoke along even after almost 40 years).
Definitely worth getting, especially if you have kids.
