Low rating for the navigation! :(
Sesame Street has great content, but I am frustrated with the navigation issues (they are the same for many of the Sesame Street DVDs -- read reviews). You are forced to sit through commericals for Sesame Street, you can't fast forward or jump to the main menu. My toddler loses interest while I have to wait until the nav shows up to press the play button. Best to start the DVD and then wander back when you want to see it. A shame they messed it up -- the best kids DVDs go right to the menu.

The Best of all Sesame Street
This DVD is the best of all Sesame Street DVDs. I love it from start to finish. My toddler really took off with her number abilities after watching this. Count has always been my favorite character.

Wonderful return to classics
This is the rare release that isn't full of Elmo, or other screeching, hyper, idiocy, like so much of the current stuff. Instead it's gentle, but still plenty of fun. It also has the wit absent in most of the current Sesame Street productions, wit that made the old Sesame Street so very special. My nearly two year old loves it, and I don't mind watching it, either.

our toddler much preferred "1 2 3 count with me"
Our two-and-a-half year old didn't like "learning about numbers" at all, except for one little sequence that show 2 girls playing with a dollhouse. he much preferred "1 2 3 count with me." the two dvds are actually quite different: the other one features elmo and ernie and feels very much geared toward young children while "learning about numbers" actually seems like they were trying to entertain children and adults at the same time by adopting a mock talk show format where big bird is supposed to be some kind of jay leno standup. plus there is a lot of "The Count" in that LAN, and our toddler didn't like him at all--a kind of dracula knockoff that struck him as kind of distasteful and even scary. "1 2 3 Count With Me" a much better choice, for us at least, and possibly for all 2 year olds. Could be "learning about numbers" is better tolerated by older children. Only weakness to "1 2 3 count with me" is that they give short shrift or even skip over certain numbers between 1-20. Some kind of brainless editing decision by somebody who didn't get enought sleep, no doubt. but our child much preferred it to "learning about numbers" Also: "learning about numbers" subjects you to a hyperactive commercial for some Sesame Street foundation at the beginning and doesn't let you bypass it!

Old friends and gentle entertainment
I purchased this DVD for my young daughter because it included clips from the Sesame Street of my youth, and I was not disappointed. Several of the clips included in the video were familiar to me -- and all are a sweet, enjoyable way for small children to learn about counting. Characters that have largely disappeared from the TV screen come alive once again; if you loved Kermit the Frog or got a kick out of the Honkers, this is a good DVD for you to share with your children! Elmo's fine, but this is a wonderful window into a larger world of eccentric and loveable characters.

Average product...
While I like what Sesame Street does for children's television and education, this video falls short. The recycled number segments have been intertwined into a regular Sesame Street episode and thrown together, packaged and sold. My child is almost two and has a strong attention span, but she would lose interest a quarter to half way though the video. While watching the video with her, I believe some of the segments are odd to borderline creepy. LeapFrog vids are a worthy investment.

Fun for mom and son
My 19 month old son LOVES this video, and he has begun counting things with great enthusiasm since we started watching it. A number of short clips, about two for each number from one to ten, are strung together as part of a mock talk show hosted by Big Bird. Most of the clips are from the Golden Era of Sesame Street--pre 80s, pre-Elmo-crap--some are edgy, some are clever, all are entertaining to people of both generations. Highly recommended.

my son's favorite!
My 22- month old LOVES this movie and we watch it all the time. I recognize a few skits from when I was little, and so does my mom. I grew up watching Sesame Street and I am glad for my son to watch this...they don't make kids cartoons like they used to!
