This dvd has older episodes on it, from the 80's. They are:

Messy Room
Trouble with Friends
Too Much Birthday
Go Fly a Kite
Comic Valentine (the 1982 tv special)

I love the newer episodes that are now on PBS, but really enjoyed these since I grew up watching them. Great dvd!

We have now almost ALL the Berenstain Bears DVDs. I see a lot of people are disappointed in the old ones...but my kids love them anyway. And so do I. I remember the old ones when I was a kid (or at least the theme song). They may be a bit different...but they're still really good!! May have different voices...but my kids don't care. They enjoy the old songs just as much. So...give these older ones a chance. We did and we're glad of it. :)

I ordered this for my mother to have at her house for grandchildren. She says they came in good shape and is glad they were available to order online as she couldn't find them anywhere. Thank you

This is a good collection, but the box is misleading. The episodes featured are from 1977ish through the early 1980s. Even though they looked "strange", according to my daughters, the girls still sat through the entire DVD a few times already. I like the fact that they get to understand that the Berenstain Bears have been around for a very long time, and they get to experience both what their parents used to watch and then the more modern episodes that they watch. It's a little of the old and a little of the new.

The episodes seem a little longer than current episodes that air.

If you're looking for the Berestain Bears your little one watches on sprout/pbs, this is not it. We were so excited to find this and sat down to watch only to be disappointed. The characters are more extreme than the tv ones, the verbal interaction is less thought out, and they don't necessarily represent the good relationships and interpersonal interactions that the tv show does. We didn't even finish the dvd,bottom line, my son didn't like it.

These are o.k.. But know before you buy that these are the 80's version.

This video is cute and my kids love it. It seems a little outdated since it is from the 80's, but the lessons are still true today and my son has really taken an interest in hockey since watching this one! Although, Mama Bear seems to need a little more patience with her kids sometimes! Definitely from a few decades ago :)

The "episodes" on this video are not like the others we have. They have very old looking animation and the voices aren't the same as the newer ones. In my opinion, they really aren't done very well. There are some good lessons in them, as like in the other videos we have, but there are also some quite mean characters that say things I wouldn't want my children to say. I really like a lot of the other Berenstain Bear videos, and have a number of them, but this is one I wouldn't recommend. I think it's more about being rude and than about kindness and caring.

We were disappointed by this DVD. Our daughter loves the newer PBS Berenstain Bears, and we assumed this was the latest installment, because it was just released. Turns out this disk is simply recycled archives from the '80s. Given that, they're not terrible, but they're nowhere near the quality of the new episodes, both in terms of the story lines and the production.

I assumed this DVD contained episodes from The Berenstain Bears that is currently shown on PBS. Well, it turns out it's episodes from the 80's, so the quality is fairly poor. The stories were fine, my daughter watched all the episodes, but I'm somewhat disappointed.
