5.0 out of 5 stars You Are Going To Love This, May 29, 2004

By	"calake3" (Morris Plains, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

We've been watching Hi-5 on The Learning Channel and Discovery Kids for about a year, give or take. As a parent of two teenagers and a four year old, I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like Hi5.

First of all, what an amazingly talented cast of actors/singers. And the songwriters have an uncanny knack of creating music that appeals to all age groups (adults and even teenagers!). Very, very hip.

Problem solving, Spatial and Language concepts, Art & Music and Physical Demonstration are recurring themes you'll see in each episode. But it's done in such an entertaining way that the kids don't even realize they are learning! A wonderful show to enrich their imaginations.

Very, very highly recommended! In fact, I would encourage you to check them out here first:

5.0 out of 5 stars Hi-5 is the best children's show!, May 27, 2004

By A Customer

This DVD hasn't been released yet, so I haven't seen it--but I have seen Hi-5 on TLC and live and in concert. More importantly, my younger brothers have also seen Hi-5. They love it! This show is probably the only thing that can keep my younger brother's attention for more than 15 minutes. He is normally very unfocused, but as soon as Hi-5 comes on he stops what he's doing and dances to the music. The show has been amazing for him.

Hi-5 pulls off the rare combination of being fun and educational! It teaches kids about the world, but at the same time they're having a blast! The entire cast is always so active and happy that it brightens the mood of children who are watching.

Again, I haven't seen the DVD, but I strongly recommend purchasing this DVD--I've yet to see anything from Hi-5 that wasn't great!

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the series, love the video, November 10, 2004

By	K. L. Johnson "Mom, homemaker, RN & avid reader" (Martinsburg, WV United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hi-5, which airs on the Discovery Channel (and TLC) has several different themes. Each week a new theme is introduced by a catchy song & dance that is played at the beginning and end of each episode. Different sketches throughout the episode cover simple math, music, rhythm, imagination, language development, etc.

Having said that, if you love the show, you'll love all three of the DVDs which contain three episodes of their respective theme. The "extras" aren't really great - a karaoke singalong one with lyrics and the other with only music and words on the bottom of the screen. I'd have liked some more background on the making of the show or a little extra addition to the episode. (That's why it receives a 4 and not a 5).
