5.0 out of 5 stars a winner for "There Goes A ... " fans, October 24, 2002

I was very pleased to see this dvd version of Dave Hood's entertaining series. It contains three of the popular shows -- There Goes a Fire Truck, There Goes a Garbage Truck, and There Goes a Truck. We have about ten of these Dave Hood videos on VHS, and think There Goes a Fire Truck is the very best. There Goes a Garbage Truck shows us a variety of refuse removal vehicles as well as recycling facilities, and There Goes a Truck displays a wide variety of trucks, including a monster truck, tow truck, military transforming trucks and the world's biggest truck -- used to transport the Space Shuttle. The latter two selections feature Becky as well as Dave, and all have the goofy humor that keeps kids laughing.

DVD extras are winners at our house too, and include a sing-a-long song about the sounds a fire truck makes, an interactive fire truck (which will teach your child to use the remote faster than any verbal instruction!), an interactive video glossary that uses a number of short film clips to demonstrate hoses, helmets, etc. There's even a bloopers reel.

Honestly, if your kids like the series, they will LOVE this dvd, and the price is very good. Another winner from Dave Hood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truck Adventures is Great!!, January 6, 2003

By	"kellycbr" (White Salmon, WA United States) - See all my reviews

My 2 year old son loves this DVD! And my husband and I enjoy it as well. This DVD includes 3 videos: There Goes A Fire Truck, There Goes a Garbage Truck, and There goes a Truck, plus a bunch of special features. This is a great deal! Most children's DVD's are just copies of their VHS cousins, with no bonus material, lasting only 30 minutes, and expensive This one is over 90 minutes, and priced the same as other DVD's.

We don't own a TV, so we curl up in front of the computer and watch. We love truck driver Dave, and his side-kick truck driver Becky for their enthusiasm, sense of humor, and their ability to teach in a very entertaining way. I do hope they come out with more DVD versions of "There Goes..." series. We would buy them all. Our son has learned so much, and animately describes the scenes to me as each new scenario comes up. I think girls would enjoy this, too. Becky is right in there with Dave and all their misadventures.

Highly recommended. You and your kids will be very happy you purchased this great DVD

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad to see this series on DVD, August 6, 2002

By	J. Reed "HHH" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm sure most people looking at this DVD are already familiar with the There Goes... series. They all feature Dave and sometimes Becky looking into some kind of vehicle or piece of equipment. Designed for children, they are very watchable by adults and are fairly educational, if for nothing else than the vocabulary.
What I like best about the DVD is that it contains 3 programs. It could fit 4 but hey it's better than wasting a whole DVD on less than 30 minutes like many other children's titles. With the individual videos selling for as much as [$], getting three on a DVD for [$$](...) is a good deal. Now that I've eliminated VHS in my house, it is nice to see multi-program DVDs like this one and I hope to see more in the future...
I have just a few comments about this DVD in regards to the content. I really didn't find any of the scenes too "scary" or irresponsible as few others have described. There is some comedy about Dave falling in the garbage, but there are also several examples of safety commentary in the program as there are in all the Real Wheels tapes.
