My kids, 3 and 5, enjoy a lot of the silly clips that they see on AFV and I purchased this set for them. Surprising to me, they have not shown great interest in these dvds. I think one of the issues is that the dvds include MUCH of the dialogue by the hosts, including the AFV theme music as they go to AND come back from commercial breaks. The music and dialogue combined contribute to the majority of time in these videos. In short, if you were to actually calculate the amount of time devoted to clips, it really doesn't amount to a whole lot more than you would catch in a typical episode on TV. I guess I/we expected to see a greater compilation of clips given the longevity of the show.

I bought this as a family gift for our family which includes a 7 yr. son and 10 yr. daughter. To get three dvd's in regular size dvd cases is nice, compared to the flimsy clear cases you usually get in a collection pack. I consider it a great investment (I paid just $15.99)as it's one of those dvd's you just pull it out when you feel like having a great laugh together. Now, I will say, the AFV Looks at Kids & Animals with Bob Saget was not very funny. We hardly laughed in this one, including my kids. Bob had some really corny fillers in between the videos and I mean corny - SentarBoy? - Half boy, half animal? I would have been very disappointed if I had just bought this video as even the clips aren't all that funny. The other two in my opinion make it up. The Battle of the Best has some funny dialogs between the celebrities (beware of the phrase using "hell" that is used by one if this is offensive to you. This has some screamingly funny clips. The clips are longer too which I like. The All Animal Extravaganza is very funny too - several clips you may have already seen on youtube. This has Tom Bergeron as a host and he makes everything funny in my opinion anyway. Whether you have kids or not, if you like AFV, this will be great to add to your collection.

It was very funny to watch this collection of selected videos, despite some of them are repeated from America's Funniest Home Video Volume 1. I advice to watch them in family.

We purchased this set of DVDs for our children for Valentine's Day, and it was an instant hit!

My 7 year old son watches almost nothing on tv, but he will sit thru this laughing the entire time!

America's Funniest Home Videos presents The Best of Kids and Animals, the All Animal Extravaganza and Battle of The Best all in one set. The animals take center stage as a "deer devil" bounds across traffic and girls scream as the attack of the miniature lizard is filmed at home. The cats who talk and sing seem to be the highlight of this collection. "Smitten with a Kitten" is adorable, but the Swimming Cat is what truly made me almost fall off the couch laughing. Karate Cat is pure laughter therapy and the four giggling babies are adorable. Birds, giraffes and rhinos also get in on the comedy act, but cats and dogs are the real feature of this three-disc set.

It's funny, but I can't watch it, because my dog watches TV too, and jumps at the TV trying to attack the animals on the show.

To me, owning this type of DVD is precipitated by having kids who love AFV, and my kids love this one. A straight-foreward collection of good clips - An "AFV fix" for your kids whenever they want one! It's worth the price (I believe I got three DVDS in the pack - all good and a real bargain).

I purchased this video for my son who's 3 years old - and the whole family just loves it! We usually watch it on TV on Sundays, but when it's not on, he gets bummed out so that's why I got this video. It actually has 3 different DVD's - lots of animal and kid stunts. I would highly recommend it!

I expected 1 DVD, this is a set of 3. Great value.
