Forty years ago, Sesame Street was created based on a simple, but revolutionary idea: television can be educational and fun. Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days is a two DVD set that takes us from the first season in 1969 to today. We see a lot has changed on Sesame Street (Oscar used to be orange and the original cast members are older), but a lot is still the same, like the humor and creativity that makes Sesame Street such a success. It’s a hoot to see the popular culture of the seventies and eighties and see the skits and songs from my childhood. I can say with certainty that, even though my daughter loves this DVD collection, I enjoy it even more. As corny as it sounds, Sesame Street brings out the kid in all of us. Relive the early days, marvel at all the celebrities and witness momentous events like the first episode with Elmo on Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days for $19.99. Set also includes a hardcover book with behind the scene photos and photos of cast members.
