5.0 out of 5 stars Season 1 Episode Guide, June 21, 2008

This review is from: The Jeff Corwin Experience - Season 1 (DVD)

The first season of the Jeff Corwin Experience includes 15 episodes (with the last 2 being highlights of previous ones) filled with adventures, nature education, and surprises filmed in different locations in the United States and around the world. Each episode provides plenty of information about different animals, birds, insects, reptiles, plants, ecosystems, etc. Jeff's style of teaching is definitely not dry and boring. Kids will most likely enjoy it. But it doesn't really matter if you are a kid or an adult -- we can all learn something from these 15 episodes.

1. Borneo: A Wild Man in Borneo
2. India: Riding the Cobra Express
3. Arizona: Land of the Serpent
4. Alaska: Northern Exposure

4.0 out of 5 stars Enthusiastic and lively nature studies for kids, May 20, 2008

This review is from: The Jeff Corwin Experience - Season 1 (DVD)

TV host Jeff Corwin is a big bundle of boyish enthusiasm, skipping through rainforests and desert landscapes in search of rare and unusual animals. It's like having Joey and Ross from "Friends" fused into a single character, and then set out on safari with a film crew in tow: Corwin is physical and rambunctious, but also knowledgeable and able to rattle off scientific facts about poisonous critters that he's just dug out of the underbrush -- obviously working from memory, since the viper or dart frog or whatever isn't waiting around for him to read anything off of a cue card.

The show has an appealing improvisational air about it, with has its plusses and minuses. On the plus side, the show is exciting and quickly draws you in; Corwin has a cheerful, magnetic presence and his enthusiasm for nature comes through clearly. He also consistently works in eco-friendly messages and talks about having respect for nature, about leaving wild animals alone (especially dangerous ones) and about the need to protect habitat, etc. On the down side, you get a nagging feeling that there's a lot of information that is being left out, and that the mini-lectures Corwin delivers while, say, holding the deadliest viper in Central America, might not be as thorough as it might otherwise be. Corwin is sensitive to how much each animal is willing to put up with, and once he drops the animal back into the wild, the encounter (and the lecture) is over with. Also, his hands-on approach seems pretty invasive -- even though he often is taking part in scientific studies (tagging animals, etc.) and takes great pains to explain that what he is doing has been officially sanctioned, the overall effect may be to encourage audience members to mess about with wild animals themselves, which may have unfortunate consequences.

On balance, though, the show is informative and fun: one of the most amusing aspects is how totally into snakes Corwin is. So, if you like to see rare and deadly and beautiful serpents, this is definitely the show for you! There are plenty of mammals and birds, too, but Corwin does love the creepy crawlies. Overall this is a fun show, definitely worth checking out. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain kid's reviews)

5.0 out of 5 stars Got it for the Grandkids, August 28, 2011

This review is from: The Jeff Corwin Experience - Season 1 (DVD)

I think Mr. Corwin is a little too excitable for me but the grandkids love his series. I must say that I have not heard any bad language in any of the series so far and that is the main reason I purchased it. The grandkids love the adventure, the animals and they learn about exotic places.

I am going to go on a limb here and recommend this for kids about 6 plus. I was going to give it a 4 star rating however my 6 year old granddaughter simply loves it, so it's a 5. This series and another series will be good indoor entertainment when winter comes.

The price was right and the shipping was free.
