Idea for a Sesame Street Box Set DVD

[pollick529]

Hello everybody!

I was thinking lately about a 5-disc Sesame Street DVD box set containg 40 of some of our favourite and some of the most memorable episodes from the past 36 years. They would be double sided discs containing four episodes per side and shown in their original uncut versions with the original PBS logos at the end for authenticity. Do any of you have any of your favourite episodes that could be on this box set? Post your favourites here. Maybe they're will be a box set like this someday. I certainly would buy it! What episodes would you want to see on it?

Well, how about:

Best of Sesame Street Vol. 1: Seasons 1-5
Best of Sesame Street Vol. 2: Seasons 6-10
Best of Sesame Street Vol. 3: Seasons 11-15
Best of Sesame Street Vol. 4: Seasons 16-20

Best of Sesame Street Vol. 1: Seasons 1-5
Best of Sesame Street Vol. 2: Seasons 6-10
Best of Sesame Street Vol. 3: Seasons 11-15

Best of Sesame Street Vol. 5: Seasons 21-25
Best of Sesame Street Vol. 6: Seasons 26-30
Best of Sesame Street Vol. 7: Seasons 31-35

Those would be great. I doubt that they would be complete episodes, but maybe they coudl have the best episodes from each season (or just the season premiers) and several great sketches from those years (especially ones that haven't yet been availible on video, or haven't been uncut on video).

I'll post some ideas later.
