I accidentally got DD a 23 year old Sesame Street show

maddiesmama09 · October 2010

I bought a pack of three sing-a-long compilation DVDs, and one of them was recorded in 1987! They re-formatted it for the DVD. Of course, the outside case said nothing about it being so old, and I had no idea until I watched it, and then checked the copyright date.

I think it's kind of cool to watch such old segments. It's very nostalgic. But DD wants absolutely nothing to do with it (although she loves the other modern ones). I guess she's already caught up in modern pop culture. And she is not happy at all that there is no Elmo.

That's funny that she's so particular. I love the old ones, too. We watch them on the Sesame Street website sometimes and my son hasn't seemed care if they're not current.

I'm borrowing the first season of Sesame Street on dvd from a friend. I watched some of it, but haven't shown it to DS yet. I never even thought he wouldn't like it! I wonder how he'll react! I loved it! haha

That's cool-I love the retro DVD's! Maybe your LO will take to them after she watches them a few times?

That is funny. DS likes the retro 1980's and 90's ones we have.

The old ones are way better, I decided that after watching it over the weekend.

I'm dying at you guys saying 1987 and the 1990s are retro.

Dying.

I think I got the exact same 3-pack, did you get it at Sam's?

My DD actually likes them, especially the "Stomp" one. I get a kick out of it too, and I love the 80's-tacular outfits!

I got it from Walmart. The one from 1987 is a sing-a-long special,then there's a Country Music one that seems to be from the early 2000s, or maybe late '90s. It has Johnny Cash singing a song with a muppet, which I thought was really cool. The 3rd one also seems to be early 2000s, and is a Kareoke (sp?) inspired one, and has Destiny's Child performing, which I also thought was very cool.

The outfits in the 1987 are definitely awesome! I saw a few that I'm pretty sure I had back when I was three years old.

That's funny that your DD is so particular. We only have 2 Sesame Street videos- an Elmo one we got as a gift and a 1970s one I got because I remembered it from my childhood. DD doesn't really show a preference.
