Review: I can't believe that Sesame Street has been around for 40 years now!  This DVD collects a special documentary on the show that features clips and interviews from 20 years ago on the 20th anniversary of the show!  Its great that they're releasing all of this Sesame Street stuff this year.  I have found more and more that I appreciate Sesame Street, not just for my own memories, but for the news ones that the show continues to give my own children.  In a world of constant change, this is one show that has always been there for us!

The special is great.  Its from 1990, so it feels a little dated, which just adds to the fun.  I learned quite a bit about the production of the show and we get to see a ton of great clips of the characters and guest stars of the show up to that date.  This DVD is an absolute must for any fan of the show, serious or casual.  Its also something you can watch with the kids, which lets be honest isn't that easy to find these days!
