So after DVDs started to become popular in the late 1990s/early 2000s, many Sesame Street videos that were distributed by Random House and Sony Wonder were re-released on the new format, and eventually through digital media. However, for some reason, a bunch of videos originally released between 1985 and 1998 still haven't been reissued, most of them being Random House videos. The question is...why haven't they?
Maybe is it because they weren't that popular enough to warrant a re-release? Is it because the content in some of the videos would appear outdated in a newer format? I don't see why videos like William Wegman's Mother Goose and The Best of Ernie and Bert shouldn't get put on DVD, or even released digitally like through iTunes. I feel some of the videos, if not all, should be released in a newer format again someday, because so far you can only watch them on their original format, VHS.
Here's a list of the titles that haven't gone past VHS:
The Alphabet Game (RH)
The Best of Ernie and Bert (RH)
The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street (SW)
Big Bird's Favorite Party Games (RH)
Getting Ready for School (RH)
Getting Ready to Read (RH)
I'm Glad I'm Me (RH)
Learning to Add and Subtract (RH)
A New Baby in My House (RH)
Sesame Street Home Video Visits the Firehouse (RH)
Sesame Street Home Video Visits the Hospital (RH)
Sing-Along Earth Songs (RH)
Slimey's World Games (SW)
William Wegman's Mother Goose (SW)
Plus, there's the videos released by Golden Book (Three/Five/Eight Sesame Street Stories) and the Start-to-Read Videos (Don't Cry, Big Bird/Ernie's Big Mess/Ernie's Little Lie/I Want to Go Home!).
