Hey, I love this show and I just wanted to give you the episode listing for this DVD:

Salmon of Knowledge
Rock Around the Cluck
New Best Friends
Little Bit of Something Extra! Extra!

We are big fans of Jakers. The kids really enjoy watching this. Jakers is all about storytelling. The Grandpa is telling tales of his youth to his grandsons. Since this is set in Ireland, the animals have a bit of a brogue and use Irish sayings. After the cartoon, real Grandparents tell stories of their youth. This encourages families to share the past.

all of these piggley winks shows are just so good, you can't miss these. great for the whole family.

Our 2 1/2 year old daughter absolutely loves this video. She has us play it over and over for her. The animation is amazing and the stories are fun and imaginative, so as adults, we enjoy watching it too. We would highly recommend this video.

I don't understand why but my daughter just loves it. We own all the 5 DVDs so far on the market and almost every books also.

At very beginning, I bought a ready-to-read book (level-1) of this serious accidentally: "Piggly makes the pie". Although she was just several months over one years old and hardly could understand most of words ( we talked to her in Chinese most of the time ), it soon became her favorite book. The book is very good. It has little picture icons to help the little kids in reading, e.g.: apple, window , goat, etc. all shown by both words and pictures in the line.

PBS also has a "Jakers" stories website for little kids. There are 4 stories, reading by grandpa "Piggley". Now it has been our bed-time stories club every night. If you like, you can go and try it first.

Now we read the book, watch the DVDs and go the PBS.com to meet our grandpa Piggley every day!

Loved it - Both myself and my 4 year old just love Jakers - Actually seen it on TV in Ireland when home visiting family and she loved watching it with her cousins so was really delighted to find it available online here. Cute show with great graphics and a cute lesson in each episode. I highly recommend this show for pre-schoolers.

Jakers is a great show for young children, each episode is full of adventure and fun as well as a good moral lesson. I enjoy watching Jakers as much as my son does! The CGI animation is fantastic on DVD.

we don't have kids but my husband actually stumbled upon this show one sunday morning when we were without cable and we thought it was adorable! i recently bought it for my best friend's 2 year old daughter and was so happy to get an e-mail saying that she LOVES jakers and is always asking "watch jakers?" i know how kids get about a favorite show/dvd, so i figured if my husband and i liked it then it would definitely be a hit with parents and kids.

My son loves this DVD! Its 4 Jakers! episodes rather than a full length movie which is great since kids get restless when watching long shows. Great lessons learned in each episode also. Highly recommend it.

Not only my son loves to watch the 4 movies comes with this DVD, My wife and I enjoyed watching too. Jackes has always been the kind of animated series not only enjoyable to kids but also to adults.

The reason I gave it 4 stars is that every story seems just a little too short for me.
