I bought this set for my 1 year old. She LOVES it, but everytime it's playing everyone gravitates toward the tv - all ages!

According to my 1 year old granddaughter, both Sesame St tapes were fantastic. She will watch them with her eyes glued to the TV. Thanks for helping us babysit.

This is strictly a collection of single clips from each season of the first 40 seasons. The first CD is the first 20 seasons--some cartoon, some animated, some skits. Gives a great variety of memorable clips (as I was a avid Sesame Street fan in the 70's as a child) up to current characters and clips (the second CD of seasons 21-40)--claymation, animated, celebrity, etc., which I'm just getting use to for my one year old neice, who seems to be following in auntie's footsteps in terms of her love of Sesame Street. There is also a nice book with some explanation of drawing some of the key puppets, history of the show, and the people behind the characters.
 Not as good as I thought... July 25, 2010

I bought Old School Sesame Street Volumes 1 and 2 many years ago and have been waiting for a 3rd volume release because our family just LOOOOOVES these two. In fact, the box is falling apart because of overuse. When I saw the 40 Years of Summer Days, I actually thought this was the 3rd, so I got it right away. I didn't realize that 40 years means up to today (because that's about my age). I am disappointed to see a lot of Elmo and the other new muppets in there. I'm sorry but I never grew up with them so I find them annoying. Ok I admit it. I bought this as a gift to my 4 year old but it was mostly for me. But even my son grew up watching the Old School Sesame Street so even he is not crazy about the new guys. So now we just gave it a run-through and it's back in the box. Why? Because most of the clips are already in the 2 volumes we have. They just added the new episodes circa late 80s and 90s. Ok to be fair, there are nice clips that I totally don't remember, like Maria and Luis getting married and having a baby, and the death of Mr. Hooper. But you don't really want to keep watching those over and over, especially when you grew up thinking it was Maria and David! I was hoping to see more of the animated clips, more of "The Number Painter", more of the clumsy baker that falls down the steps, and more of Joe Raposo's genius compositions, Ernie's old pranks on Bert, and the phonics (You take the P with the "ph" and the AN "an"... put them all together and they spell PAN, thats PAN... P-A-N, PAN....). That would've been great for my preschooler. Oh well... I still rate it with 3 stars because after all, it is Sesame Street and I have great respect for the people behind this production.
If you're a 40 yr old Sesame Street fan and you don't have Old School yet, get those, absolutely. Hold off on this one unless you want to collect. Hope this review has helped you.
