Product Description

Are you ready for more Sesame Street: Old School? Awesome! Volume 3 covers 1979 through 1984 and is packed with classics like Monsterpiece Theater and Beatle Bailey. Furry new faces like Telly Monster, the Honkers, and Forgetful Jones move to the street! That street gets even longer when the whole cast—plus Big Bird and Oscar—travels to Puerto Rico for Maria's birthday! Gordon and Snuffleupagus get "footloose" as they lace up their running shoes and complete the New York City Marathon, and Big Bird packs his bags for summer camp. Getting reunited with memories from your childhood feels so good!

Amazon.com

The memories continue with this third volume of Sesame Street programming--this time encompassing the years 1979 through 1984. A kind of "greatest hits" format, this two-disc set features one full-length episode from each of seasons 11 through 15 as well as a selection of some of the most striking segments from each year. Season 11 opens with Maria traveling to Puerto Rico to visit her family and celebrate her 21st birthday and the rest of the Sesame Street gang planning a huge surprise. Season highlights feature pop-culture moments like a Beatles-inspired song about the letter b, Kermit in the thick of the disco craze, and a song in which Big Bird and Star Wars' R2-D2 discover that even those who are very different can still be friends. In later seasons, Big Bird heads off to his first day of school, bird watchers try to have Big Bird declared an endangered species and move him to a special sanctuary, Big Bird heads to camp, and Gordon and Snuffleupagus run the New York City Marathon. Favorite characters such as Kermit the Frog, Ernie and Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Grover are joined by quirky characters like the Honkers, Telly Monster, and Dr. Nobel Price, as well as guest stars Itzhak Perlman, Madeline Kahn, and Harry Belafonte, for a treasury of memories that will delight both young and old. Other favorite segments include pinball animation, ladybug picnic, Monsterpiece Theater, Henson ball power, dollhouse, and Twiddlebugs. The great thing about Sesame Street is its timeless appeal and the fact that its educational messages, which span from learning letters and numbers to life skills such as how to make friends and cooperate, are just as relevant to today's kids as they were to previous generations of viewers. That said, today's parents and grandparents will be especially interested in the bonus interview with Caroll Spinney and the backstage footage of the puppeteers hard at work filming some classic Sesame Street episodes. (Ages 2 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

I grew up with Sesame Street, those muppets are family! I see them in my friends and relatives! I love the live action and the puppetry and am so excited to share them with my first grandchild. Watching her face as she laughs and learns with Grover, Kermit, Big Bird and Snuffy and Bert & Ernie! So many memories watching these again. God Bless Jim Henson and thank you to the Childrens television Workshop for teaching me while they entertained us!

Wonderful addition to the Old School Series. More Joe Raposo, more cultural pluralism, more hope!

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2012

Somewhere in the collective consciousness of those of us who grew up with Sesame Street is a sense of hope, of being able to live together with one another in ways that are creative, emancipatory, and rhythmical. This collection allows the political and social hope that was Sesame Street to shine through even more clearly than the previous volumes. Beginning with the show in which Maria goes back to Puerto Rico, the cast and the shows allow us to remember how often Sesame Street showed urban and rural images often side by side, providing a lived experience of togetherness within a nation that was often on edge over its diversity.

The music of Joe Raposo, and the montage of images shown with his songs, also contributed to a mood and a depth that has been unmatched in the last 30 or so seasons since. Look at the song about 2 (pairs of people) or about family. Look at the connections Raposo makes between animals and humans. Truly, something deep and lasting in melody, in images, and in philosophy.

What happened after the late 80s to this show? Was it that the entire PBS came under attack? Was it that the show's writers and PhDs who advised (and I think controlled) content felt that they had to cowtow to a certain political group that was not in power in the 70s? Whatever the reasons for the shift, and I for one think it was profound, the truth is that these three volumes remain a kind of collective memory to a show that allowed us to see one another as beautiful, strong, and creative people.

If you care about your children's future in a world hungering for friendship and community; if you want to remember what it looked like when people were not polished, when Roosevelt Franklin spoke like an African American unabashedly and bravely, when Spanish was not introduced in single words but in whole sentences, when the Muppets were neither controlling adults nor alarming 2-year olds (Elmo)--then you need to get this set of discs.

Sometime in the future, if not already, there will be college courses on this show. Perhaps some of us can write the material now. This show deserves it (at least it used to).

For those of us who loved the music of Joe Raposo, the work and humor of Jim Henson, and the melting pot of diversity that the Street in the 70s gave us--thank you Sesame Street. We may have to pay you now for getting back our memories, our country and our togetherness. But that makes up in a way for our not having to pay you then.

Please make all episodes and skits available after you have parceled out these collections. There is still more to see!

THEME SONG EDITED OUT ON ALL 5 EPISODES!

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

Right after i received Sesame Street school Vol. 3 in the mail, I quickly searched thru all 5 episodes, and right away noticed that the theme song with those well known lyrics, "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street"?, is EDITED OUT of all 5 Episodes. UNBELIEVEABLE! Volume's 1 and 2 didn't have that problem, so why now Volume 3. That is my guess as to why it took so long to release Volume 3. Maybe it was possibly found out that buying the rights to the theme song was gonna cost too much money.

Don't let that keep you from buying SSOS Vol.3, cuz if you grew up with it, there is always great vintage material to look back on. More than one time, i ran across the PINBALL NUMBER COUNT about the number 2. That's ok with me, cuz I like the song. The song with the TWO GIRLS AND A LITTLE DOLL HOUSE is in this set. I know that one was in an earlier set. Segments repeated over the years, so we wouldn't forget. I saw at least a couple KERMIT THE FROG NEWS FLASH segments, like about the OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE. The old woman quickly put Kermit in charge and told the kids, "Go to bed when the frog tells you". I laughed good at that one. There was also GUY SMILEY and those game show segments.

It would have been nice to have more BONUS material segments is this set. Each season premiere episode had about 5 or 6 bonus segments, which was good but not enough stuff. Included was the clip where Big Bird was told that Mr. Hooper died and couldn't ever come back. I remember that when I was about 7 or 8. Also included inside the set is a very nice thick booklet with plenty of good stuff to read about the show. It it very fascinating and enjoyable!

All in all, plenty of great material. Worth getting for sure, but a word of warning that the theme song is edited out of all episodes.

So satisfying to know that parents can still choose television shows that are purely innocent. I don't have to worry that my children are being exposed to inappropriate content.

We were able to watch most of the item, but we didn't check it early enough to do a return. The second disc appears to have some sort of defect on part of the backside of the DVD.

Bought these for my sons 1st birthday, now I know he's way too young for them and will not be interested or be able to understand most of it but I couldn't resist! Hope my older sons may enjoy them too and I must admit I am looking forward to watching them again. Totally brilliant, simple classic tv from that time before gadgets. Those were the days.
