Customer Reviews of Sesame Street: Vol. 2 - Old School (1974-1979)

better than the first volume!!!
I really liked this volume-maybe it's cause I grew up in the 70's. This dvd is definetely one to remember; if you really like the old school sesame street television show. Only for muppet fans, those young at heart!

OLD SCHOOL Sesame Street.....
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....
