Sesame Street Season 36 Complete 9-Disc Box Set DVD

Sesame Street Season 36 picks up the long-running PBS children's program in its 2005-2006 broadcast year, with 26 episodes collected across 9 DVDs. The season continues the show's foundational mission of teaching counting, the alphabet, and social-emotional skills to American preschoolers, with Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Telly, Baby Bear, Snuffleupagus, and the human cast continuing the format that had defined the show across more than three decades. Each episode focuses on a single educational concept while maintaining the broader storyline-and-segment structure.

What makes this season distinct is its commitment to expanding the show's cast of recurring rocks-and-objects characters. "Birdseed Cookies for Granny," "Rock Sitter for Rocco," and various Telly-and-Rocco episodes give the rock character Rocco a substantial role across the season, with the ongoing premise of Telly's friendship with the inanimate object running as a quiet subplot through multiple episodes. The format keeps the show's structure intact while letting these specific character relationships develop across episodes.

For its era, the season represents Sesame Street as it was approaching its fortieth-anniversary milestone. PBS continued as the home network for this run, with the show maintaining the pre-HBO structure that defined the show's long PBS-era catalog. The 2005-2006 production sits within that PBS-only window, and the season captures the show in its mature mid-2000s form.

The most rewarding entries lean into the show's ensemble work. "Telly Learns to Catch a Ball" launches the season. "As the Porridge Cooled" runs a classic-tale entry. "Baby Bear's First Day of School" handles a major life moment. "Mexico on Sesame Street" delivers a cultural-themed episode. "Goldilocks Takes Over Nursery Rhymes" runs a literary-parody premise. "The What Happens Next Show" plays with format. "Bob's Deaf Niece Visits Sesame Street" handles inclusion material. "The Adventures of Little Big Bird: Part 1" and "Part 2" close the season with a two-parter. All 26 episodes across 9 DVDs collect the complete Season 36, every Sesame Street story, every educational segment, in one box.
