Great Thanks for the update! I sure am excited.

I hope they're great so I can get them!

Wow- sounds really cool! Sesame Street has done such a wide variety of parodies over the years- both in song and skits- so this is a great idea for a DVD release.

What I would like to see are some songs that they used to cover from pop artists in 1969, like the Beatles and such. Of course, they would have to get the copyrights for that stuff.

I posted a wishlist in the thread about Warner getting the home video license. Here's what I put on my wishlist.

Disc 1: Classics (I'll include a lot of 1990s stuff here, because sesamestreet.org seems to list the classics tag to clips from up to season 24 and because it seems the first ten seasons didn't really have many parodies)

  Bonus Features:

• John and Kate Plus Eight parody (produced for season 40, unaired due to the couple divorcing before it could air)

Still, out of everything, I most wish for this to include Monsterpiece Theater segments. I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume one or more will be included (it was a major recurring segment for two decades, there's no reason not to include any on a spoofs collection). Even if it doesn't have any on my wishlist, I hope it has MT segments that haven't been included on any video release (considering only four segments have been released on DVD). I guess I also shouldn't really care which Miami Mice segment gets included, since none of those have been released on DVD and Sesame Workshop hasn't made any of them available online.

There are a number of recurring characters who were parodies of real people. I wonder if they'll include any of those who might not have appeared in any speciffic parody sketches. I don't know if Polly Darton or Meryll Sheep were in any actual parody sketches, and aside from "Pretty Great Performances" I don't think Placido Flamingo was in any actual parodies.

[The Shoe Fairy]

Heck yeah! I think this has made my day.

Now that is what I am talking about. I hope we can have a review here on the website.
