Well I bought the DVDs and I LOVE them.
A lot of the segments that Sesame Street ran were positively timeless. If I was still a teacher, I would definitely play the DVDs for my kids.
On a related note, I DID play a tape of Vegetable Soup for my first graders a few years ago. (If you don't recall, VS was an even more multicultural version of Sesame Street.)
Well, the ONLY part I thought wasn't so appropriate was when they defined what an OREO was! And I don't mean the cookie!
Yes, that was a very race-aware show.
