    This one is about the announcement, the other one is the discussion of the special when it airs.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    I've only watched one full episode, but I did watch all the bonuses. Here's some initial thoughts: It's a shame about the theme song, but it's not too jarring. Is it me or is the contrast on all the material kinda dark? It looks better than the 40 Years DVD; most of the clips had a weird...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    Um. This was a blessing in disguise for you. Besides, the CD is just audio from the special itself, not the recordings or anything. You're just as well off ripping the songs from the DVD and converting them to mp3.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    Picked up my copy; liking what I see so far! I perusing the bonus features first; The Chaplin bit was actually very funny. I kinda wish they'd had more segments on here; as much as there are repeats from the 40 Years disc and stuff online, it's great they still could put some rare bits like that...

    Sesame Street to air hurricane special Friday November 9

    I had a feeling they would just air the "Friends to the Rescue" video, but nope, they re-edited the whole thing from scratch. That's great of them.

    My copy arrived earlier today, but I can't pick it up from the office until eight. Phooey. But, since the price went down since I ordered it, I got $5 back!

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    If they did need to pay royalties for the theme, I don't see why they simply didn't just not bother with various other rights. Clearly, the most expensive things they had to clear are "Happy Birthday" and the Star Wars characters; the latter is just a bonus clip and the former is part of the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    Part of the reason for that is they went with 2 discs instead of 3. So we ended up with three full episodes on one disc, which doesn't leave much space for other material. I guess to keep it consistent, they used the same number of clips per season and filled up the spare space on disc 2 with...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    While I don't care for the edits, I'm actually glad "Honk Around the Clock" made it onto the set; it's my favorite all-time Sesame song. "I Want to Count" isn't one of their best spoofs anyway and they don't do any actual counting until the ending vamp.

    I'm pretty sure Michael just did the puppeteering for her, not the voice. "Waivin' Goodbye" is clearly Fran singing.
