5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful DVD!, November 10, 2009

By	Amy S. Mcfarland "Amy" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I grew up with Sesame Street, and now that my kids are 1 and 3, I'm falling in love with Sesame Street all over again. This is a fantastic DVD! It's literally packed with wonderful songs, ABCs, counting, story time - all the things myself and my parents loved about the show when I was little. My son's favorite characters are Ernie and Bert, and some of the stand-alone DVDs I've bought for him over the past year barely mention them. With over 5 hours of Sesame Street on this set, Ernie and Bert get a little more screen time.
It's a good value too - the individual DVDs are ten or more dollars for 30-45 minutes, and this HUGE set is only 20. I'm very happy with my purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Old School--Not so much. Roosevelt Franklin? Who was he again?, November 11, 2009

By	P. Costello - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First, a proviso. I love Sesame Street. Love it. Or at least, I loved it from when I was a child--from its inception until approximately 1980. So, I write this review with a heavy heart.

Second, I was always looking for the Old School content on this DVD. I would rather Elmo and the post-racial rainbow kids had never been invented. Roosevelt Franklin, writers who met social, racial and class conditions head-on, the music of Joe Raposo--this is what I wanted.

How disappointing. There is a minimum of new material from the Old School DVD collections. And Joe Raposo's name is not even prominent (is it even mentioned?) in the book that accompanies the DVDs. I'll have to read it again, but Jon Stone is fronted and Raposo is definitely in the background.

Anyway, I'll just have to keep hoping that the marketing gurus at Sesame Wallet Project see fit in the future to release our childhood memories more systematically and completely. We trusted you. Now give us back what we invested in you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy 40th Anniversary Sesame Street, November 10, 2009

By	Edward Balen (Bradenton, Florida) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I am so glad I bought my Sesame Street 40 Years of Sunny Days. I just happen to be the same age, 40 to be exact, as the Street. This is the best title ever released of Sesame Street. It has footage, most of it, that does NOT appear on either of the Old School volumes. Two discs seems like small potatoes, but they're chock full of classic footage.

If you're a fan of Sesame Street, grew up with it, or just want the cream of the crop from the Street, buy this DVD package. Not only is it a classic collector's item, but will remain so for years to come. The Street has come this far, and they're no end to it. God bless Jim Henson, Frank Oz and the other geniuses that created this show.

In closing, come with me for a romp down Sesame Street, and a waltz down memory lane as well. That's what this is all about.
