Genius Products picks up the reigns for this second volume of nostalgic Sesame Street episodes aimed at adults who remember the series from their childhood.
The set contains five complete, hour-long episodes from the 6th through 10th seasons, 57 bonus segments, an unaired test pilot, a 12-page booklet with behind-the-scenes information and photos, and a special collectible animation cell from the classic animated segment "Pinball Number Count" featuring vocals by The Pointer Sisters.
Episode content includes the first episode with Roscoe Orman, the actor who still plays Gordon today. Also the first appearance of Muppet characters Rodeo Rosie, Oscar's trashman Bruno, the Two-Headed Monster and Barkley the Dog. Famous songs include "What's the Name of that Song?" and "A Song From Kermit" with celebrity appearances by Judy Collins, Henry Winkler (as the Fonze), Paul Simon, Lily Tomlin, Richard Pryor, Ray Charles and others.
OLD SCHOOL Sesame Street..... February 28, 2008

I was so happy when Vol 1 came out, then Vol 2 came out. More memories came flooding back to me when I watched this. You just cant beat Old School stuff like this. But, everything has its down fall. When you see an only for adults sticker on something that is suppose to be a learning tool and educationl for children, your heart has to drop. Mine did. I mean, I grew up with Sesame Street, watched it when I was a very young kid back in the late 60's to mid 70's, and learned alot, and never ever thought about that there was anything wrong with it, or any subbliminal messages that they were trying to give us, nor did our parents worry about the content. But, it seems in this day and age, in this so called"POLITICALLY CORRECT" world, something is going to offend someone, or hurt someone's feelings, or is going to offend their religion, color, race, creed, sexuality, etc....It was not like that back then, now it is. I read a review of vol 1. and it really amazed me, it really did, and it made me sad for todays kids and their parents also who buy into all this Political Correct B.S.. The reviewer pretty much was trying to say that times have changed, and this material was not suited for todays child, because of its sensitive and non political correct material (there is those two words again). One mother was quoted saying "What did they do to us?" Hmmmm, thats interseting. Hmmm, Mayby they were trying to teach us, in a fun, visual way, I dont know, thats just me speculating, I do that from time to time. Other quotes were that Cookie Monster was eating his way to diabetes. Now, I dont know about you, but when I was a kid, hardly any of us were overweight, because we were outside most of the time running, playing, and burning it all off, unlike alot of kids today, who sit in front of the tv, or play video games,and do not move for hours at the time, and eat junk food, and drink soft drinks, and get no exercise. Another little comment was about the neighbors walking with kids down the street, and enviting them over to the house for cookies and milk, and to meet their wife. Ok, I must admit, that was a little wierd, but you have to take all that into consideration, and the time period. Yes, you have to be leary of strangers, and you have to teach your kids that, but reading all that, I feel that people try to make something out of nothing. They try to look for things to get offended over, or things to get their feelings hurt over. Ok, then, Old School Sesame Street may not suite the needs of todays kids, but does a muppet with AIDS suite thier needs?I guess in this day and age, it does. I have to wonder about that. Its a sad world, but its a different world today. Innocence has been lost to a new era...So sad....
Pure nostalgia! February 17, 2008

Even better than volume one!
You know that nostalgic feeling you when seeing an old clip of the Muppet Show, or an old Disney cartoon you haven't seem since you were 6 years old?
Or even when you see a clip of Indiana Jones or Star Wars and it's like a comfort food that brings you back to that innocent time in your life.
The skits and clips in this collection do just that. They literally transport you back in time, at a point in your life where you live moment to moment, care free and never worrying about tomorrow. The genius of Henson and the Sesame Workshop are more apparent than ever. The characters are more refined and the direction of the series becoming more sophisticated and focused.
You and your kids will LOVE this, it's educational and highly entertaining. You won't be disappointed.
Sesame Street good for me, great for my son February 6, 2008

My family and I are currently living overseas, and while we occasionally catch an episode of "Rue Sesame" (the French version of Sesame Street), all three of us love being able to watch the classic Sesame Street anytime we want. My husband and I were somewhat amazed at the disclaimer about the material not being appropriate for pre-schoolers. I find it sad that Sesame Street feels the need to have such a disclaimer on their products. We believe that if Sesame Street was good enough for us to watch when we were kids, it is definitely good enough for our 3 year-old son, (Especially when you think about the alternatives that are on television currently.) My son loves Sesame Street (and since we have spent the last year in Belgium) "Old School" Sesame is really what he knows. I firmly believe it has really helped him learn the alphabet as well as count. He loves to sing all the songs, and thinks the Bert and Ernie skits are hilarious. It is ashame there isn't more Bert and Ernie on the current seasons of Sesame. I truly believe Sesame Street is a great educational program and is a great learning tool for children. Let's be honest, they must be doing something right it's been around for almost 40 years! Here's hoping they keep releasing more "Old School" collections!

Another great dvd set from the old school sesame street episodes. Feels great that our toddler is watching these shows that contain beautiful values and are truly educational. The world was in some ways a little less harried and a little less frightening back then. There is something pure about these early shows. I feel lucky to have them. I hope they continue to put out these sets b/c we will certainly keep collecting them.
