UPDATE 11/3/10: I had been skipping the previews and going directly to the main menu of this DVD, but I caught a few of the previews recently and I did not think they were appropriate for a Busytown audience. One of the previews was for a vampire cartoon, for example. I stand by my 5 star review since you can bypass the previews and go directly to the main menu, but wanted to include it in my overall review so other buyers are aware.

Our son is only 15 months old but he already loves this DVD. He dances whenever the music comes on & I know this is one DVD he will love watching for years to come. I really like the good messages & lessons and how the siblings get along. Great for long car rides!

Got this for my 2 and 6 year old daughters. Well worth the 4.99 I payed for it! Lots of episodes to keep them busy! Nice break from Dora and Diego!

This DVD is a collection of fun mystery stories using Richard Scarry's characters. I loved having this in the car for long trips out of town. I have a 4 year old and he really enjoyed watching the stories (and pretending he was Huckle Cat). I believe the collection is over 200 minutes in length so your child won't get burnt out on watching the same few stories over and over and over. I think this is well worth the money.

My son LOVES Huckle cat and Lowly worm. He is almost two, and I think this DVD is great for him. Even Thomas, the tank engine has some elements that I don't like for my son (eg: Thomas and Percy disrespecting Salty, or making fun of each other, etc), but Busytown is just simply packed with stuff that is great for a little kid to learn: Voices travel through pipes, if a blue blanket gets in the washer with the yellow T-shirt, the T-shirt will turn green, woodpeckers peck on doors, too, not just trees, there is such a thing as high tide, and SO much more stuff to learn. These cartoons are very cute and age appropriate. Also, you can't beat the price! I highly recommend it.

This is an amazing collection for the price. It includes 3 discs with a total of 12 hours and 3 minutes of play. It features 26 telvision episodes with 5 bonus episodes from other shows. Each of the episodes are actually two shows, the way an 1/2 telvision show will show two short cartoons each so there is actually 52 cartoons plus the bonus episodes from The Busy World of Richard Scarry, Wimzie's House, A Miss Mallard Mystery, Nellie the Elephant, and Simon in the Land of Chalk.

My boys love Busytown. Perfect for younger kids.

Great DVD if your kid likes Richard Scary, Huckle, Lowly, and all the rest! Has a TON of the Busytown Mystery Shows! My daughter was happy when Santa gave this to her :)

i saw this product on amazon and was like !!!>_< i have to buy. i remember watching this a lot when i was 4-5 years old. This series seems to be a newer version of the original series, but its just as good. Even I as an adult still enjoy watching this and so do my niece and nephew. Glad to share a piece of my childhood with them.

I got this for my 20 month old so we can watch it anytime (instead of just Saturday morning). It is a huge hit!
