Sesame Street: The Great Numbers Game

starring: Jim Henson, Annette Calud, Frank Oz, Savion Glover, David Langston Smyrl

May 03, 2004
Totally lame! Not only am I bored, but so is my 21 month old son. We got this video in a set with "Do the Alphabet" and he loves that one, but won't even sit through 2 minutes of this one. Don't waste your money.

The King of Jazz

starring: Paul Whiteman, John Boles, Laura La Plante, Jeanette Loff, Glenn Tryon
directed by: John Murray Anderson

March 01, 1992
Paul Whiteman was the most popular bandleader of the Roaring Twenties and his VICTOR records were best sellers; his JAPANESE SANDMAN and WHISPERING went way over the million mark in sales. Universal's entry in the all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing sweepstakes was KING OF JAZZ. The result was a garish (RHAPSODY IN TURQUOISE?) over-long mixed-bag, yet it's an undeniably entertaining item which, surprisingly, holds up much better than you'd expect. Cleverly, the film opens with Der Bingle crooning MUSIC HAS CHARMS over the credits and then commences with an amusing animated cartoon about Whiteman's scrapbook and how he became the famed King of Jazz. Despite its length and creakiness, KING OF JAZZ remains a fascinating vintage musical. ... Read More:

Crocodile Hunter

starring: Steve Irwin (II), Terri Irwin

May 20, 2003
It's a shame that this particular episode didn't make a DVD, because this is one of the most incredible rescues that Australia Zoo has ever undertaken, surpassing even the Bunya Rescue (unfortunately not available for home purchase.)

This episode truly exemplifies what Steve Irwin & the Australia Zoo team will go through, in order to save the lives of the wildlife they value so highly. You get a somewhat deeper insight into the working of the Zoo -- an advance team led by Zoo Director Wes Mannion was sent in; he was aided by Head Croc Keeper Brian Coulter. Even before the camera crews arrived, these men were working to find the supplies necessary to build two croc enclosures in war torn East Timor.

When Steve arrives, ... Read More:

Stepping Out

starring: Robyn Stevan, Jane Krakowski, Bill Irwin, Ellen Greene, Sheila McCarthy
directed by: Lewis Gilbert (II)

January 27, 1993
.... in this she sparkles, she shines.... there are elements of Michael Jackson and mama(watch Judy singing Swanee in A STAR IS BORN) and compare it to Liza`s belting of the song Stepping Out....

The supporting cast is good if on the cardboard-side.... It`s a shame it was released straight to the video market(we didn`t see it in Norway until 1993), cause it remains a solid hand of work. On October 19 2005 I met Liza Minnelli in Oslo and I thanked her for giving us the best concert of hers in years... This was NOT a has been diva, but a legend - still growing, still working and still in fine voice.

True, her dancing efforts are history compared to this film, but the audience wouldn`t let her go and she finally sang I`ll Be Seeing ... Read More:

Seasame Street:Lets Eat

starring: Jim Henson, Annette Calud, Frank Oz, Savion Glover, David Langston Smyrl

January 26, 1999
Grover is at his best in this hysterical video. With his typical humor, he teaches us how to eat more wisely. There are alot of great inside jokes for the parents, too. The "Planet Storybook" restaurant he works on is a funny spoof of "Planet Hollywood", complete with memorabelia (from stories, of course).

My 2 1/2 year old loves this video, and has learned alot from it. I bought it for her because she's a picky eater. I think it has helped alot -- she's more willing to try new foods now (not that she always finishes them!)

I highly reccommend this video! Buy it for yourself, even if you don't have a picky eater in your house! It's that funny!

Sesame Street

starring: Jim Henson, Annette Calud, Frank Oz, Savion Glover, David Langston Smyrl


I have a one year old that loves Sesame Street. And this Particular video focus on the alphabet. She watches it every chance she gets and takes it to Grandmas to watch there also. So far she is singing right along with the characters in the video, pronouncing her letters clearly and learning the alphabet at the same time. I really do feel that this is a very good video for any young child that is trying to develope their english skills.
