There are 2 complaints I have with this set. One, the episode titles are not the same titles as what were originally aired on Nickelodeon, however they are the same episodes, just different titles for some reason. The other complaint I have is that the episodes only come in the movie format. Basically this means that the episodes play back to back without the show's introduction. When you hit play movie, it does show an into on the first episode of each disc with the original song, however the intro is NOT the same as it was on Nickelodeon, which bothers me a bit. You can watch the episodes individually as well, but when you select that option, no intro is shown at all.

However, the set does contain all the episodes I love and remember. The set does have good picture and sound, and my few complaints I have with the set are not enough to suggest not buying it.

Reminds me of eating spagettios in front of the tv when I wasn't a crusty ol' 25 year old - I bought this for my future kids, but I'll admit I enjoy it too.

Actually, this series contains researched information about nature, and provides a look at a simpler life most children don't get to see very often. If you're a little fed up with 7 year olds carrying cell phones and ipods, get them to watch this.

The dvd set is well packaged and sturdy.

This was a very well packaged and produced DVD set that includes all the episodes we may remember watching on Nickelodeon way back in the day. I did not play with the language features, but the menus are easy, the sound and picture are crisp, and the packaging remarkably tough. Recommend it for anybody who is looking to buy a copy of David the Gnome.

My oldest watched this series as a child. It is no longer on TV for my younger childen to enjoy. It is the sweetest series teaching good wholesome values, as well as love and respect for nature. A welcome relief from all that violence and action packed nonsense which is so prevelent most TV stations today.

This was one of my favorite shows from when I was a kid. Now that I have the DVD, I can share the show with my niece. There are 3 DVD's and each is made to run with 9 episodes airing back to back as a movie. The quality is very good.

I love buying DVDs of shows I used to watch as a child. I watch them with my kids and it brings me such good memories. This was one of my favorite shows as a kid and it hasn't lost any of its charm over time. It teaches good values, love for nature, and respect for the earth. All the epesodes I remember are on this set.

This is not an official DVD collection. It is a fake. So if you enjoy the show enough to put up with the faults of a fake DVD (incorrect information, no episode select, etc.) the feel free to buy this set. But by buying this set you are further diminishing the chances of an official REAL DVD collection of this show coming into existence.

I loved this show as a child, and I was ecstatic to find the series on DVD. Though a little dated in one or two ideals, "David the Gnome" is a wonderful cartoon for children, and helps you teach them good morals. The set even includes an episode of "Dogtanian"!

My only complaints about this DVD set is that the song accompanying the end credits has been changed, and the montage accompanying the intro music has been changed. Why was this necessary? The song accompanying the end credits is supposed to be a musical version of the intro; I always loved listening to it. If anyone wants to hear what the original sounded like, or what the original montage looked like, you can always find it on youtube. This way you know what your children are missing out on.

My children have loved this DVD. I remember my sister watching it when we were younger and as I threw a gnome party for my youngest, this was perfect entertainment while we were getting the food set up. Always good lessons to learn, bright colors and lots and lots of episodes. I am letting my 4 year old watch it, but there are a few episodes I might deem "scary" that include witches and magic, but my 4 year old is pretty grounded and is a middle child so she's been fine...sometimes I just fast forward those episodes. Anyway, great show, definitely give it 5 stars...just fast forward a couple episodes if your little one scares easily.

I got this for my two year old nephew to watch. I used to watch this as a kid and really enjoyed it. My nephew loves this almost as much as I did and still do. It makes you appreciate nature and animals and shows the damage that we have done throughout the years to nature and animals. But it also shows that humans and animals can live in harmony. The trolls in the show are pretty funny too. I would highly recommend this cartoon for any parent that is looking for a TV show with good strong values. Not like the TV shows of today which shows characters hitting each other left and right and making stupid comments that make no sense at all. I wish they would bring back more cartoons like David the Gnome for new generations to see and enjoy. Maybe if they had more of these kind of shows the world wouldn't be so crazy and scary to live in.
