When the Children's Theater Workshop's Sesame Street first aired on television in 1969, it was a revolutionary new show aimed specifically at preschool children--an audience previously untargeted by television programming. Exhaustively-researched and tested on real audiences of preschoolers, this "experiment in kid programming" aimed to teach preschoolers the alphabet, numbers, body parts, rhyming, and basic reasoning skills while thoroughly entertaining them. Through the use of humor, the amazing puppetry of Frank Oz and Jim Henson, animation, the incredibly catchy music of Joe Raposo and Jeffrey Moss, and a fast-action pace borrowed from the television commercial format, Sesame Street was, and still is, more successful at educating and entertaining children than anyone initially imagined. What's more, the lessons learned by generations of preschoolers went far beyond simple school-readiness skills to include values like acceptance, cooperation, and inclusiveness because the urban Sesame Street was a place populated by people and monsters young viewers could identify with, where anything could happen, and where every ethnicity, generation, and species co-existed and interacted harmoniously.

Sesame Street: Old School Volume 1 1969-1974 offers a sampling of the first five seasons of Sesame Street and includes the first episode of each season in its entirety as well as a large selection of classic segments from each season highlighting some of the most memorable sketches ("Bein' Green," "Rubber Duckie," "Whistle a Happy Tune," and Super-Grover in "Telephone Booth"), favorite human characters like Bob and Mr. Hooper, and guest appearances by celebrities like Bill Cosby, Lena Horne, Jackie Robinson, Carol Burnett, and Jesse Jackson. Adult viewers will be transported back in time as they witness Bert's frustration with his ever-noisy roommate Ernie, chuckle at the antics of Grover and his demanding customer in Grover's Restaurant, and wonder if Snuffleupagus will ever show himself to someone besides Big Bird. Other well-remembered moments include pinball number count, the baker who inevitably tumbles down the stairway with a handful of cream pies, the ever-munching Cookie Monster, "Here is Your Life" segments, Bert "Doin' the Pigeon," and the inevitably grumpy Oscar the Grouch. Post-Elmo preschoolers and their parents will laugh, learn, grow, and connect with one another as they share this classic compilation of Sesame Street moments. Bonus features include the original sales pitch reel (introduced by Joan Ganz Cooney and hosted by Kermit the Frog and Rowlf the Dog) and a thick booklet rich with history, trivia, and a pullout activity section for children.

Customer Reviews of Sesame Street - Old School, Vol. 1 (1969-1974)

a good past time kids television show
This volume is very different; since Oscar the Grouch is orange in the beginning of the television show...normally he's green. The introductary segments are very new to me, since they don't show kids running, playing in the structures or ridding on a animal. Other than this the show is entertaining to the eye...unusual.


It is a classic!
My daughter loves it and I loved watching it too, ah the memories! <
> <
>Though Burt is very controlling. <
> <
>They say at the begining that it may not be suitable for "today's preschoolers". <
> <
>Gordon (an adult) does show the new girl around and then his wife Susan invites her in for milk and cookies. <
> <
>Also the 70's Zoo scenes are kinda depressing. <
> <
>And the kids also spend some of the time playing at an abandon construction site. <
> <
>So I guess you should use it as entertainment and not life-example. <
> <
>still brilliant though!


Good but I'd have liked more
Nostalgia time. I grew up on Sesame Street, or rather I was just too old for it since it went on just as I went into kindergarten. Still it was always on in my house, thanks to two younger brothers. This is the first collection of the orginal epsiodes and for the most part its a treat. Here are the episodes pretty much as they played on TV originally. Wonderful. <
>If I could quibble I wish the set contained more. While I know economically it would be impossible to release a whole hundred plus episode season (it would be at least 30 DVDs) I wish the set had included more full episodes. Not that what they have included is bad, its not, but five is not enough. Like wise I would have liked more clips. There were so many wonderful pieces I don't see why we couldn't have had more. I know its kind of ridiculous to want more since between this and the second set so many great bits are included, but at the same time so much of this show has become part of my psyche (You wouldn't believe how much I sang and spoke along even after almost 40 years). <
>Definitely worth getting, especially if you have kids.
