Synopsis
When SESAME STREET premiered in 1969, the show changed the face of children's broadcasting with a fun and educational blend of animation, live-action, and puppetry that teaches simple preschool concepts like counting and the alphabet. Spanning the years 1974-1979, this second collection presents the best of the series' sixth through tenth seasons; the original pilot; 57 classic segments, including ‘What's the Name of that Song?’ and ‘Telephone Rock’; and guest appearances by Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett, Paul Simon, Richard Pryor, and Ray Charles.

Customer Reviews

Great Product
Purchased Vols 1 and 2 of the old school which covers 1969-1974 and 1974-1979. The educational aspects of the episodes are more engaging that the newer Semsame Street productions. They focus almost exclusively on practical concepts, numbers, letters and spacial arrangements with humor rather than folding in death, divorce and other odd (and not necessarily normal for a young child and possibly even inappropriate) concepts in newer Sesame Street. They are also extremely joyful and optimistic. If Sesame Street would produce proper and complete early season box sets - rather than just the 5 premier episodes with bonus material, we would certainly buy it. The Workshop should utilise their archives to release complete season sets; they would make a fortune. Without having complete episode sets, Vols 1 and 2 will have to do - they are fantastic.

good
this is very good for little children to look at it help them with things to learn.
