When my daughter was little she absolutely loved Sesame Street. At the time we lived way out in the country, in the middle of Tennessee, and we had terrible Internet. So I used to request Sesame Street DVDs to review (and entertain my kid when nothing was on).
As I found out it is difficult to review Sesame Street. The show is funny and clever. It is wonderful for kids and there is enough pop cultural references to keep parents interested, but it is also extremely repetitive. There isn’t a larger storyline or big plot twists…
Anyways I said a few nice things about this one which ties together a bunch of sports-oriented stories. You can read it here.

I have, as an adult with no children, when feeling particularly unwell-i suffer from at times very deep depression-looked up Sesame Street on YouTube. The older ones, say for example 70’s,80’s etc are brilliant! I remember Johnny Cash’s song with the character that lives in an old dustbin, just quality TV!
The new ones (well the ones I watched ten years ago or so with my daughter) are very good too. They do a lot of parodies of recent TV/movies and they can be very clever. There is some good music, too. Feist did a parody of her song 1-2-3-4 that’s just brilliant.
“Born To Add (The Great Rock & Roll from Sesame Street)” is a must, featuring such “Greats” as-
Sesame Street Beetles – Letter “B”
Cookie Monster w/SSB – Hey Food
The Cereal Girl – Cereal Girl
A Chicken – I Am Chicken
An Octopus – Octopus Blues
Mick Swagger w/Sesame Street Cobble Stones – (I Can’t Get No) Co-operation
Bruce Stringbean – Barn in the U.S.A. (with Clarice Lemons on sax!)
You get, of course, Jim Henson & Frank Oz but also the voice and songwriting talents of Christopher Cerf, master of the parody whose talent is almost as great as The Man Himself Tom Lehrer. Mr. Lehrer also contributed music (much later in his career) to another great PBS kid’s show The Electric Company with ‘Silent “E”‘ as another must-not-miss piece of wit.
Back to Mr. Cerf, Emmy/Grammy Award winner and author (Encyclopedia Paranoiaca, Mission Accomplished, The Irag War Reader). He was also a Contributing Editor to National Lampoon Magazine for many years as well as other contris to NatLampCo’s National Lampoon Radio Hour, SNL, The Electric Company, various other Muppet projects etc.
We used to have an old VHS tape full of Sesame Street songs, it was a lot of fun. I do love that they’ve brought in real musicians over the years to do parodies of their songs, etc. Norah Jones does a great version of “Don’t Know Why” where they change “why” to “Y” as in the letter Y. God bless PBS and all that they do.
