Summary: Semi-entertaining but not very educational
Review: As a lifelong Sesame Street fan, I was disappointed with this DVD. There are some good clips - even some with Jim Henson's Kermit and Ernie. But as an educational video, the choice of words they characters played with was pretty random and not at all systematic. (One muppet held a sign "Coo" and Elmo had "kie" to spell "cookie," but the first muppet kept saying "Cah," not "Coo.") Don't think your child's reading skills will improve much by watching this video. A much better DVD is Ernie's 123 Count With Me.

Summary: Great blend of old and new
Review: For moms and dads who remember the classic Sesame Street skits, this DVD offers some nice gems. And it blends the older material into a cute, cohesive storyline that features some really catchy music and fun new action. My 18-month old just loves this DVD.

Summary: A great video using ALL the sesame street characters
Review: For my son who is Obsessed with Elmo this is nice because it's a break from the Elmo's World videos but it includes enough Elmo for him to enjoy it. He loves the pie scenes and now has developed a fascination for Bert and Ernie!!

Summary: If you want old-time sesame street, this isn't it
Review: I bought this tape after reading the reviews. I am looking for Sesame Street videos that are good for our daughter but also will keep our attention, since we always sit down with her to watch. We are big Muppet Show fans and also grew up with Sesame Street. I was not getting this tape to teach my 18-month-old to read, but some educational content is desirable. If you are expecting something like the Muppet Show, you will be disappointed, although the bits with Prairie Dawn and Benny Rabbit begin to approach it. The rest was rather flat, although I will admit my expectations were high for this video. There are only two "old" sketches, and the "fat cat sat on the mat" with Mahna Mahna and three other muppets is marred by the addition of flashy animated words that are not well-timed to match what's being said on the screen. It doesn't bother me that the words "taught" in this video are so random, "sticky" and "slippery" with "I" and "at" and "go;" the lack of entertainment value for adults is the bigger flaw in my estimation, as is the absence of more excellent older sketches from Sesame Street. Muppet Show fans, do yourselves a favor and get some of the 45 available episodes of the original Muppet Show.

Summary: Best Baby and Toddler DVD
Review: My daughter has watched this video almost every day since she was two months old (she's now 21 months old). It quickly became her favorite video last year, and I think it's because of the catchy, high-energy songs.She prefers this video to many other ones because there are several good musical numbers, and there is only a limited amount of between-song talking. I even memorized several of the songs to sing to her in the car when we ride around town, and that used to stop her from crying when she was 6-12 months old (actually, it still works pretty well in the car sometimes). Now that she's 21 months old, she jumps up and down and dances around when the songs come on, and she applauds at the end of each song. I'm amazed that this video has kept her attention for 19 months. Also, she really loves the "preview other sesame street DVDs" section. It shows you 30-second snippets of 15-20 other DVDs, focusing on the catchy songs. I choose the "play all previews" selection to give her a 10-minute block of previews. That gives us about 55 minutes of total entertainment - twice the length of many other toddler DVDs. I almost forgot the most redeeming quality of this DVD - it teaches words. My daughter can now say the words "go", "sticky", and "elmo". She even tries to sing along with the syllables that she knows. I can't recommend this DVD enough! It's a great baby and toddler DVD!

Summary: Another hit by Sesame Street!
Review: My two-year old son is a huge fan of Sesame Street, and we own several VHS/DVD Sesame Street videos. This is our latest addition to our library of videos, and was an instant hit! My son loves to watch this video - over and over! It grabbed his attention right from the very start. I was a bit worried that he wasn't old enough to deal with seeing words, but Bert and Ernie do it in a very entertaining way, which keeps my son's attention. He is enjoying himself and learning while watching this video. All Sesame Street shows/videos are educational, in my humble opinion, but this one is by far VERY educational. Buy it!
