I'm trying to find these, can you help? (old-school TV shows)
Hey all,

I'm trying to find some copies of old-school Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact, and Square One to watch with my daughter. I loved these, growing up, and I learned a lot from them.

However, ebay seems unhelpful for all but overpriced Sesame Street DVDs.

Where would *you* look? :)

1. Library.
Funky video/DVD stores where the help is all Goth kids. Ads in paper/online asking for them.

2. 321 Contact is not available on DVD (I've checked)
sesameworkshop.org sells "best of" DVD's of old Sesame Street and Electric Company

I've never seen Square One on DVD, but I don't know for sure if it's available (Mathnet RULES)


They were all produced by the Children's Television Workshop, which is now Sesame Workshop.

5. I'd look at Netflix. They have lots of old tv shows,

though I have never looked for "Sesame Street" or other children's shows so I can't promise they have them.
