Sesame Street Old School Volume 2
It's hard to believe that Sesame Street has
been around for so long and this current DVD focuses on some of the
classic the episodes
during 1974 to 1979 that brings together some of the most memorable
highlights.
Sesame Street was also quite revolutionary at the time as it
was one of the first edutainment series on television that not only kept
children of all ages entertained but taught them a variety of
things from mathematics to colours and even spelling.
Compared to the
modern incarnation of Sesame Street, the series was quite grass roots
based on the 70's format that included over the top characters and some
really great looking "home made" puppets.
Apart from the
humour in the series, the original series featured a plethora of guest
stars that included Judy Collins, Henry Winkler as his alter ego Fonzie,
Richard Pryor and the extremely talented Ray Charles who really gives
his utmost in his classic episode. It's quite amazing how many guests
were featured in this series, although my favourite was the Star Wars
one.
This collection features the
Sesame Street test show 1 which is a great insight into the original
series and how it may have panned out today plus a variety of Sesame
Streets inspired Easter eggs. It's a shame about the video and audio
quality, however considering the age, it's understandable.
This definitely brings back a
variety of memories and although kids of today, more specifically the
younger ones will enjoy it, it seems like this DVD has been collected
for the older viewer in order to travel down reminiscent lane.
Definitely a fun collection!
