I started wondering.... if for volume 2 Sesame Workshop decided to put in more episodes, how would you rather see it happen:

1. By having a three-disc set with one extra episode
2. By having the discs be double-sided
3. By having it be a four-disc set

I don't know how the price would be effected if any of that happened (then again, the secodn season of Rocky and Bullwinkle had four double-sided discs and twice as many epsidoes as seasons one and three, but the price was the same). If Sesame Workshop decides to have volume 2 include the next five seasons, I would want there to be double-sided discs to allow for more episodes from the first five seasons and the season 6-10 premiers. That could allow for either 11 episodes, or 10 episodes (if one side of a disc only has one episode), one from each season.

I like the 4 Disc Set idea...let's put out as much as the old episodes as possible.

I'd really like to see the sets continue on through the years though. I'd like to see such series highlights as Luis/Maria's Wedding, Hooper's Death and Miles adoption. While I love seeing the old episodes from before I was born, I'd also like the moments that I grew up with watching in the 80s.

Maybe it would be a good idea for Sesame Workshop to release a set of the shows most historically-significant episodes, like the opening of the Fix-It Shop, Mr. Hooper's death being explained to Big Bird, Maria and Luis' wedding, Mr. Snuffleupagus no longer being called imaginary, the birth of Gabbi, and the reopening of Hooper's Store. I do wonder if Maria and Luis' wedding epsiodes and the birth of Gabbi should be released as part of a different set, featuring as many epsiodes concerning the wedding and birth of Gabbi as possible. For example, a Luis and Maria set should include the episode where they fall in love, the episode where they get engaged, the wedding episode, as many other related episodes that can fit. A birth of Gabbi set should include the epsiode where it's announced that Maria is pregnant, the epsidoe where Maria is driven to the hospital, the episode where Gabbi is born, and other related episodes that can fit on the set. Maybe some short documentaries about the planning of these episodes can also be included. Of course, for these kinds of sets to work, Maria, Luis, and maybe baby Gabbi would have to be on the cover, and it would probably be the first time that any human cast members have appeared on any kind of Sesame Street DVD covers.

I like your ideas, but I don't know how realistic they are. The only existing Old School set has only two episodes per disc. I don't know if Sesame Workshop would stretch the budget to four (though it would probably be possible). And the Old School sets are meant to represent the early years. I don't think anything from the 1990s would be included (I would be surprised if volume two includes anything from the 1980s).
