Sesame Street: Put Down the Duckie

This one's for Mom
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!

The Best "Classic" SS dvd
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.

My favorite Sesame Street video finally comes to DVD!!!
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.
