Sesame Street Old School Volume 1: 1969-1974
I'd like to say that I wasn't even born when any of these shows or clips from these years were originally aired. What I will say is that many of the segments that were created during these years were indeed put back into episodes of Sesame Street over and over again in the 70s and 80s, hence why I just LOVE the nostalgia this set delivers.

For $30, you get seven and a half hours of Sesame Street content. Yes, over seven hours! You won't be able to get through it all in one day, however because as much as I even love this older TV programming for kids, there's only so much of the letter “G” or the number “21” can take in one day.

The DVD starts off with the very first Sesame Street episode ever produced. It's so interesting to see how Big Bird, Ernie and Bert, Oscar the Grouch and others started out. I had no idea Oscar was originally orange! If that's unbelievable, wait till the second disc to see how messed up the Snuffleupagus looks!

If I haven't lost you already, I think that this Sesame Street is more fun than the current (or the past 10 years) form of the show. There's no “Sometimes” Cookie Monster here! This Cookie Monster fills his stomach with everything and anything. There's no PC Ernie and Bert. Instead, just two innocent roommates with no one accusing them of being “interested” in each other. And let's not forget: there's NO Elmo!

If you're a big movie or pop culture fan, you'll find it interesting to see James Earl Jones, Johnny Cash, Jesse Jackson and Bill Cosby making their cameos in this show.

One of the coolest things on this DVD is the actual pitch reel that the Children's Television Workshop sent out to promote the show and its educational value. The real icing on the cake is that none other than Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog hosts it before “The Muppet Show” was even on the air (remember, Rowlf and Kermit were two of Jim Henson's first Muppet creations for the “Sam and Friends” TV shows of the late 60s.)

If you love this kind of nostalgia or really have nothing better to blow 30 bucks on, I suggest picking up this set. There are plenty of catchy tunes, funny segments and weird cartoons to make anyone in their twenties happy during the weekend.
