Yes, I love Sesame Street, but included in this video is the episode where Mr. Hooper is no longer alive. They were remiss to include the episode, because it is very suddenly sad. Your child may not have any experience with death/ loss of a loved one, so it could be quite confusing, especially when taken out of context! Or, if you have had a recent loss, you may not want this video around in your collection.

This is a wonderful DVD set to watch with your kids now and be able to share your memories with the ones your kids are forming today.
This is a collection that just lets you watch how 40 years of talented people can make great television.
If you were looking for a set that celebrates only the old show from the 70′s, you need to look at the title. This is a celebration of 40 years of Sesame Street and not the first 10. Elmo has been around for 25 years in his current incarnation and has clearly been the favorite character for the last 20, so he should get more air time than minor characters who were on the show for a fifth the time. Go order “Old School” DVDs if you just want early episodes, and don’t rate this DVD based what you wanted versus what it said it was, a compendium of ALL 40 years, not new old episodes.
So, if you just want a great sampling of why Sesame Street is beloved by generations, this is the perfect DVD. There’s a little something for everyone to smile about.

This anniversary collection was obviously put together with care. Most of the songs on “Sesame Street Platinum Hits” are here on video, as well as plenty of muppet action, educational video and all of the creativity and joy that make up Sesame Street. I found nuggets from my childhood that my daughter seems to love too (Remember Lady Bug Picnic?) A couple of the celebrity songs feel dated (the Spin Doctors?). But, there are great songs here from Feist, Alicia Keys and others. Sure it does include a couple of the more emotional episodes from Sesame Street’s past including the passing of Mr. Hooper and the loss of Big Bird’s home in a bad wind. But, they are here for how well these difficult times were dealt with. Enjoy and share!
