5.0 out of 5 stars This one's for Mom, March 29, 2004

By	LadyArwyn "Jean" (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This is possibly the only Sesame Street video not made for kids. This one takes the best of the adult-humor material from Sesame Street and puts it all on one video. The ubsurd, the sublime, and the really cool.

Put Down the Duckie is Sesame Street poking fun at itsef. It's Phil Donahue digging up the dirt, Sesame Street style. And Barbara Walters *trying* to interview the ever-innocent Bob.

Don't buy this one for the kids. Some may like it, but I guarantee Mom and Dad will like it better!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best "Classic" SS dvd, August 16, 2004

By	Johnathan Rodriguez "vicecityjrod84" (Sumter, South Carolina United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is how I remember SS! Humorous sketches that included humans interacting with muppets, kids having fun on the street, and memorable muppet sketches, such as Grover the waiter and "Monsterpiece Theater". This along with "Follow that Bird" are the closest dvds that classic SS fans would enjoy. Only problem is that the dvd is way too short(45 minutes). It would have been nice also to see some of the old cartoons and short films too.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves the duckie!, January 31, 2006

By	Luke E. Page - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the only DVD with the entire Put Down the Duckie song. Other Sesame Street DVDS have parts of the song, but this is the only one with the whole thing. My two year old son loves dancing and singing to the duckie, and many of the other songs.
