I was talking with a friend of mine about the set last night. He was very excited about it until I told him Stevie Wonder's "123 Sesame Street" was cut. He cried out, "Whaaat?????" and went from being very excited to very disappointed. Unfortunately that will probably cost them a sale, but I...

Well, I ordered mine from Deepdiscountdvd.com about a month and a half ago, and I got a notice saying it was shipped today. That means I probably won't get it till sometime next week, so I guess I will have to wait just a little bit longer. Patience is a virtue! ;)

Although I don't have the set yet but hope to get it sometime next week, let me be the first to say thank you to you, Phillip, for posting the links and especially to Greg for his excellent review. Even with the edits, this sounds like an awesome set. I hope it sells like hotcakes and that...

Well, I don't have a copy of the Noggin episode, but from what I've read on here, the parts that were edited out were from the "Kids Play Follow the Leader" skit, specifically: 1) where Jimmy (the klutz of the group) goes around a tunnel instead of through and falls into a pile of trash, and 2)...

The only edit I'm aware of in the season 1 premiere was to the kids playing follow the leader (my fondest memory as a kid!). I'm *really* hoping that skit appears in its entirety (and, of course, I hope all the remaining episodes are complete as well). My understanding is that Noggin edited out...

Excellent! I assume all the episodes are unedited (fingers crossed!). Will look forward to reading your review, Greg.

So did you get it yet?

Check this out. (No mention yet though of which five episodes will be on the set.) http://oldschool.sesamestreet.com/

Who knows which episodes will be on there? Thanks, minor muppetz. Ultimately I guess we just won't know until they announce it, which I hope will be before the DVD set gets released. I assumed that surely the debut episode would be on there, but now I'm not so sure. I must admit I'll be really...

In the description it mentions Wanda the Witch. Was that clip only shown on the very first episode? (I believe that's when it was introduced.)

This is excellent news indeed. It appears whoever compiled this set is considering those of us who prefer full-length episodes and those who prefer skit compilations. This should make pretty much everybody happy. :) I wonder, though, which five full-length episodes will be included on the...

Thanks, Fozzie Bear. :) Well, little by little it looks like we're getting glimpses into what will finally appear on this box set. As long as the debut episode is included in its entirety, I'll be a happy camper. Everything else is just icing on the cake. :excited: I must admit I'm still...

Me too!!!:D

I have my fingers, eyes, and toes crossed (maybe even a couple other body parts!) that the complete, unedited first episode from 1969 is on there. Everything else would just be icing on the cake for me. :)

Good! That gives me hope that whenever classic SS episodes do see the light of DVD day, they will be in their entirety. As long as I get the complete debut episode and other key ones from the 70's, then I'll be happy.:) I'm so looking forward to The Electric Company DVD set. Mine should be...
