Any news on Old School Vol. 3?

[BobThePizzaBoy]

Does anybody know if there is any info on the Sesame Street: Old School, Vol. 3 set yet?

[bazooka_beak]

I've actually been wondering that myself - I need MY version of Sesame Street, darnit :/

I've actually been wondering that myself - I need MY version of Sesame Street, darnit :/Perhaps all the celeb cameos in the 80's & 90's are causing a slow progression of those years being put on DVD?

[AAO]

well they seem to do be doing these in "4's".. so the next two sets may possibly just be 80's... that could be the problem for the time getting all the best things together. Cuz let's face it, Sesame in the 80's was amazing! Monster Piece theater etc.. it's all there!

XD

i understand... watched the exact stuff growing up and enjoyed all of Sesame's perfect years that brought muchmore than they do now... :(

Me, I still find a fond place in my heart for the Street. Sure, things have changed & some characters--Linda, Barkley, Bruno, Biff, etc.--have left, but the loveable quality of the show (even with Elmo) is still present...even today.

[Ilikemuppets]

Bruno, Biff, etc.--have leftWell they didn't exactly leave but they are no longer in use anymore, really.

[wwfpooh]

Well they didn't exactly leave but they are no longer in use anymore, really.I'd just like to think they moved, due to a job relocation. That seems more plausible than saying "they'e 'retired'" (i.e. that they're characters are essentially dead, as they're no longer being used).

Bruno ain't coming back... his puppet was utterly destroyed with wear, and building another would cost a fortune.

But at any rate, anyone got any insider info on if SS OS3's being planned. Last time I remember ssetta saying that they wuz planning to just do an all skit compilation. A ture shame, since a lot of things happened in the 80's.

[wwfpooh]

Perhaps the third volume would be its own multiple set, with one being focused on skits and the other on Street scenes?

*sigh* When all my favorite characters left the heart went out of SS to me...I still watch it, but it is just not the same with Barkley only showing up as a sample of a dog on Elmo's World, Linda and Bruno gone,and the classic adults only getting bit parts...

As for Bruno, it's a shame money has to keep him from being remade :(. It make me wonder, if Big Bird had to be remade again would they do it?:wisdom:I miss his days of stardom ...

I don't think that will happen..They seem to not understand how important the 80's SS was to all of us..The DVDs seem to be made as samplers, not full storylines...Maybe to try to make people forget how good the storylines use to be?

[wwfpooh]

Maybe to try to make people forget how good the storylines use to be?I'd hate to have to think that...:(

[Ilikemuppets]

Anyway, It's true that ti would cost a fortune to rebuild Bruno, but it just seems that they are just not using him anyway. Caroll's book explains what happened to him.

[wwfpooh]

it just seems that they are just not using him anywayBut that's 'cause Oscar's rarely moved around much since Follow That Bird.

Growing up from the first show to (yes) Today's show. A Lot has changed. we lost Pro. Hastings, cause he was tooo dull. We even lost Rosevelt Franklin, He was way To ruley, (parents had thought.) Sam (the original) Robot got scraped, the around the corner set was scraped as well. Not to Mention, Where's Snuffy? and his sister Alice?

But it's not the Muppets that we lost, The Human Factor (not Mr. Hooper) was lost as well. (true some had died but there was other great humans that was there that would have been great to see them last longer as well.
But as the old song gose The times was changeing way too fast.

The Best Thing that they had done was to come out with the discs to remind us how it used to be, my amallest niece could not belive the first season, And I am sure that there are some who has children as young as her asking, Where's Cookie, Where's Elmo, And Where's Telly.

So If any one of the company reads this..
PLEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE bring us more of these great sets!
Thank you. :wisdom:

[wwfpooh]

Indeed. We need the classics as much as we need the modern stuff.

[Drtooth]

Considering it's almost a year since Vol2 was released... well, is it a bad sign we haven't heard anything yet? I'd say either we're not going to get a traditional "Old School" set, but something else. Just not yet.

[wwfpooh]

For the 80's--as there were so many quality skits--we'll probably just get a "Best Of".

I'd say I'd rather see something EXACTLY like the last 2 releases, but with key episodes of the show instead of first episodes of the season.

[muppetwannabe]

Snuffy is still around! He was just on an episode this season. Big Bird and Snuffy's Talent Show. I haven't seen Alice in awhile except I did see her in The Thanksgiving parade two years ago. I have noticed inconsistancies when the characters talk about the past example,Maria says that she and Luis went to Hawaii on there honeymoon when actually they went camping. and On the 35th aniversery special were Grover shows Elmo the Sesame street before he was born. He shows Elmo Maria and Luis's wedding and Elmo is Standing next to Maria as the Ring Bearer! I am wondering though, is there going to be a Sesame street old School Volume three? does anyone know for sure and does anyone know when it will be released?

[Ilikemuppets]

I know the 40th anniversary DVD is coming out next year. One side conicals the first 20 years and the second side has moments and segments from the next twenty.

[ssetta]

You know this for a fact? How did you find out?

[The Count]

Hi. ssetta, if you mean the 40th commerative 2-disc set... It was reported both on Muppet Wiki and the Muppet News Flash as among the slate of new DVD releases from Sesame Workshop next year, to be released in November 2009. Hope this helps. :search:

[ssetta]

We have to wait that long? OMG! Don't you mean November 2008?

[The Count]

Nooooo. :batty: Nowember 10 2008 is Sesame's 39th birthday, Nowember 10 2009 is their 40th. I love calendar calculations too!

[Drtooth]

It sounds technically like we're not going to get an Old School vol 3 per se, but a commemorative set. I can't say I'm not disappointed (since they did such a wonderful job with the OS sets). And I really hope the 40th anniversary set isn't bogged down with stuff we've arleady seen before, and millions of celebrity appearances, instead of key SS memories...

Still... I think we should contact SW and tell them we want to continue with the OS series.

Absolutely! I may have grown up in the Volume 1/Volume 2 years, but fans who saw Big Bird cry over Mr. Hooper when they were in kindergarten deserve to have their own "real" Old School collection. The only trouble is, what would it take for Sesame Workshop to set aside the money and time for a new DVD set that they hadn't planned?

How did you find out? where can I get the info?

[Ilikemuppets]

How did you find out? where can I get the info?Well there's Muppet Wiki! There should be informations on it there.

[Drtooth]

I still wonder... whatever happened to the "Hawaiian Holiday" episodes that Buffy supposedly signed off her appearance for?

Does anyone have any info on that, or if it's indeed going to happen?

If worst comes to worst, I can contact the reporter in Honolulu who gave me that information and see whether she's learned anything more. Keep your fingers crossed!
