The Muppet Magic DVD from Muppets on the Ed Sullivan show has lots of good old Sesame stuff. Like early Grover and Cookie puppets, and a skit by Big Bird.

I've got the 25th anniversary DVD too. The A&E Biography on SS is one I highly recommend, because it is targeted primarily at nostalgic adults like ourselves! :zany: You can order it through A&E's Web site.

Well, OK, if you want to stretch things a bit, I'd also recommend:

- Big Bird in China
- Big Bird in Japan
- Follow That Bird
- Put Down the Duckie
- Elmopalooza
- Christmas Eve on Sesame Street

And on video:
- The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street (DVD release TBA)

I think "Monster Hits" is on DVD. That's among my favorites. Lot of classic old Muppety stuff.

I know, but I just wish they would release old shows. I wonder why they don't. Do you know?

:rolleyes: STOP. IT.

By far the BEST SS video that would appeal to the older fans is "Getting Ready To Read". Here's what's featured on it (as I recall):

Grover and the word WALK
E&B: Rhyming Game
toon: This is the cat that sat on my hat, etc.
Cookie Monster's "no-cookies" poem (supervised by Kermit)
Song: Fat Cat Sat
Word Family Song: the OP family (boy and girl AM)
toon: HEN/PEN/TEN/MEN
Cookie Monster: FOOD
Song: That's What Reading's All About (Same Sound Brown and Farley) :big_grin:

Great selection, no? :smile:
