Play with Me Sesame: Imagine with Me (2007) Review

Play with Me Sesame: Imagine with Me (2007)

This is a nice 2-disc set that includes one DVD of imagination-and-fantasy oriented films, and a second CD-ROM of interactive games. Much of it will be familiar to "Sesame" fans who have watched the TV show or other DVD collections, or visited the "Sesame Street" CTW website. The CD-ROM disc mostly recycles material from the website... This approach has its plusses and minuses. Kids who haven't already plugged into the online Street site may enjoy the various games, although kids who have already been online will have probably already explored most of this material. The CD-ROM versions have the advantages of better sound and sharper graphics, and not being dependent on Internet connectivity to function properly. One odd detail is that many of the game that loop endlessly on the website often end abruptly here (especially if you don't engage the program) Although kids may want them to go on longer, parents may find themselves thankful that they don't... especially the ones that feature Elmo's sweet little voice... This collection's theme is based on imagination -- the video portion includes a lot of material that previously was gathered on an earlier "Let's Pretend" video... which makes the added games a nice bonus feature. Like all "Sesame" material, it's great for little kids. (ReadThatAgain kid-related web reviews)

(Imagine With Me)Pretending is so much fun with Elmo, Zoe and their friends! Dance with Grover, bake make-believe cookies with Prairie Dawn and Cookie Monster, and help Bert scare away monsters in Ernie’s bedroom. Sesame pals empower preschoolers to use their imaginations for interactive play as they learn social-emotionalconcepts such as friendship and coping with a fear of the dark.(Let’s Play Games)Everybody’s favorite game show host Guy Smiley invites you to play along with his Sesame friends! Try to "Name That Sound," play Grover Hide-n-Seek, and count with The Count as he attempts to win a big prize.

Stella - Season One (2005) Review

I hate to just throw another five stars at Stella with the other reviewers, but it deserves nothing less! The comedy is brilliantly simple, which is hard to find in TV these days. The plots are simple and predictable enough that the ridiculousness of the jokes becomes the focus of each episode. It's amazing how few television shows take the absurdist route these days, but at the same time; I would have never guessed that three men in suits that act like toddlers could make me seriously laugh. The three main actors are hysterical in their unusual relationship with each other.
I watched much of the show's first season, and immediately decided that it was some kind of independant group that had come up with their own plots, and would stay away from the mainstream. However, they score huge credibility with great guest stars (Jeanine Garofalo, Paul Rudd I believe?), that play off of the absurdist comedy with some strange touch of realism. I can't recommend this show enough.
