You get one hour to do what you want! A lot of videos are only 30 minutes. These are enough time to settle a little one down, take a quick shower & eat something. WITH PEACE & QUIET.

I love them! All my kids at about 18 mos to 2yrs attached themselves to a character and my 4th child, now 2 yrs old loves Barney. This 2 CD was perfect! I'm on a budget and at $20 for the set (ten for each CD at a local *mart) was inexpensive and and cheaper than buying a single DVD or video plus I get variety. She loves them both and my older boy loves them both because in Pre-K he was learning his nursery rhymes and now that school is out, he loves the Let's Play School.

The Rhyme Time Rhythm has all the classic Nursery Ryhmes:
Did You Ever See a Lassie?
Hey Diddle Diddle
London Bridge
Peter Piper
Humpty Dumpty
To Market
This is the House that Jack Built
Mary, Mary Quite Contrary
Little Miss Muffeet
Jack Be Nimble
Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater
There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Show
Simple Simon
A Tisket, A Tasket
And a couple of Medleys of other Nursery Rhymes

Let's Play School DVD has:
One Two Buckle My Shoe
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Where is Thumbiin
and other Barney Songs.

Both are cool DVD's. I give them 5 stars because they are classis with their rhymes and they are longer than most at 1 hour long for each DVD.

I must give a thumbs down, though, not specifically to this DVD set, but ALL DVD's, they are not kid friendly. I have to wait an entire minute (for a 18-24 mos old-that is an eternity) for Barney to start with their preview/federal law BS. I can NOT click to go directly to the disc menu to play the movie. Nor will the movie start until after the preview/federal law BS, but then I have to stay and push the play button after all that. I need instant start of the movie for children-they are impatient. I will say, that on some videos over the years, I have seen a decrease in the previews. They seem to be at the end of some of the movies now.

I push for self-sufficiency as early as I can and my older kids were playing VHS tapes and switching them all by themselves by 2 yrs old. (Push the tape in and it plays) All I had to do was show them the eject button and they could push another tape in. It was that simple. I hope they get the DVD's that way soon.

My son is 15 months old. He is very active and enjoys the outdoors. When we want him to settle down or maybe he is not feeling that well, we put on Barney's Rhyme Time Rhythm. He watches this video like no other video we have found. We have four Barney videos and this by far is his favorite. The songs, colors, activities, and kids in this video are all top notch. This video keeps his attention, and he's always happy to watch it.

My son loves these DVDs and wants to watch it over and over! The rhymes and songs in both the DVDs are educational with catchy tunes.

My daughter loves Barney, but neither of these held her attention as long as others have, and she flat out didn't want to watch the Rhyme Time. I think it might be because the kids weren't the ones she's used to, or maybe the songs weren't that familiar. She did watch the school DVD longer, and I personally liked it best of the two because it gives a good prep for what it will be like when she goes to school.

The DVD set is good. Just like the other parents, I feel the "Lets play school" DVD turned out to be more interesting for my daughter. She loves the way Baby Bop handles her school. But my frustration is with the quality of Barney DVD's. I own about 5 DVD's now, and I find most of them, get stuck every 1 min or so. I only hope HIT entertaintment, tries to rectify this quality problem on their end.

When we first bought this, my daughter did not show much interest but later, she loves both the DVDs. After she joined preschool and learnt a few rhymes, she can relate those things with the ones in barney videos.

I think all childrens DVD's should not have copy protection. You must be able to copy the original and use the copy for every day use. My 2 year old goes through Barney DVD's like diapers. The average life span of Barney is 6 weeks at my house. And when it stops playing he goes crazy, like a heroin addict in withdrawl. Some thing has to be done so that Barney lives on.

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT BARNEY THAT MAKES KIDS GO NUTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT THESE DVDS ARE A GREAT COLLECTION AND YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE IT! BOTH THESE DVDS HAVE A LOT OF LEARNING AND ENTERTAINMENT.

My granddaughter Amy is 3 and she really enjoys watching Barney and trying to sing with them.

I watched these two DVD at least once a day every week. My son just can't get enough of Barney and the Play school DVD is very education. He is learning his shape, and new colors by mixing different colors. They worth every penny!
