Summary: My Favorite
Review: I love this video and show it to my 13 month old, who gets a pretty good kick out of it too. The reasons that other folks have listed are the same reasons I love it. But "Put Down the Duckie" is one of the best songs I've seen in a long time!

Summary: Too many celebrities not enough Sesame Street characters
Review: Just bought this for my 21 month old daughter, a Sesame Street Fan. She sits glued to the TV for "Elmopalooza" (worth every penny). When we got home from daycare she found the "Put down the Ducky" DVD on the table and insisted on watching "Ernie". She couldn't contain her excitement as I unwrapped and placed the DVD in the player I recieved cheers of "yeah, Ernie!". She was enthralled during the 1st number but then got up and left the room during people in the neighborhood (right around the time Barbara Walters showed up!) Then it gets worse with Ralph Nader!
Anyway to sum up, she showed interest during the few numbers that had Sesame street characters (puppets) but was disinterested in the celebrities. I am sorry I bought it.

Summary: My 16-month old loves this video!
Review: My 16-month old loves rubber duckies and I bought this in an effort to find the Ernie classic, "rubber duckie you're the one". It's not on here, but it didn't matter because my son loves "Put Down the Duckie". Loves it. It's all he wants to watch. He's relentless, but I'm limiting him to just once a day, and then only a few of the segments. He will watch the entire thing, which is amazing for the short attention span of a 16-month old (it's almost an hour long). I don't even mind watching it since it's got so much music. I think the lack of Elmo and Zoe can only be a plus.
Just an update: my son is now 27 months old and this is STILL his favorite video! I can't believe it. He sings and dances along with the skits now, and Ernie is his favorite Sesame Street character.

Summary: The Best "Classic" SS dvd
Review: This is how I remember SS! Humorous sketches that included humans interacting with muppets, kids having fun on the street, and memorable muppet sketches, such as Grover the waiter and "Monsterpiece Theater". This along with "Follow that Bird" are the closest dvds that classic SS fans would enjoy. Only problem is that the dvd is way too short(45 minutes). It would have been nice also to see some of the old cartoons and short films too.

Summary: This one's for Mom
Review: This is possibly the only Sesame Street video not made for kids. This one takes the best of the adult-humor material from Sesame Street and puts it all on one video. The ubsurd, the sublime, and the really cool. Put Down the Duckie is Sesame Street poking fun at itsef. It's Phil Donahue digging up the dirt, Sesame Street style. And Barbara Walters *trying* to interview the ever-innocent Bob. Don't buy this one for the kids. Some may like it, but I guarantee Mom and Dad will like it better!

Summary: My favorite Sesame Street video finally comes to DVD!!!
Review: This is probably one of the best Sesame Street specials on video. Great songs which range from Bob doing a round of "People in Your neighborhood" and Patty LaBelle's "How I Miss My Ex" to "Sing Your Synonyms" (a Sesame Street remake of sorts of the classic song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off") and the title song. Great clips include "Monsterpiece Theatre" and a segment with Grover as the bumbling waiter. Even though kids of today might like it, I think probably those who watched the show when Jim Henson was alive (R.I.P.) would enjoy it more. Shoot, even my MOM likes it. The reasons I think younger kids wouldn't be as interested in it is because, since this video is from the 80's, Zoe and Baby Bear aren't on there, and Elmo only shows up during "Sing Your Synonyms". Also, it's fun for the adults to watch because of how the celebrities who on it like Barbara Walters, Rhea Perlman, Danny DeVito, and Jeremy Irons (to name a few) have changed over the years.
