Leave the Fresh Beats out of The Backyardigans, Please. July 15, 2010
Alisha J. V. Torres
We pre-ordered this DVD for my daughter, who is 15 months old and loves the Backyardigans. My husband and I also love the show, so all three of us were bitterly disappointed when there was an episode of The Fresh Beat Band stuck on as a dubious "bonus" rather than including the usual 4th episode of the Backyardigans. Considering we all detest those Fresh Beats, we would probably not have purchased the DVD if it had not been a pre-order and we had seen the episode list before we had paid for it. Honestly, the first time we played the DVD, my daughter started crying when the Fresh Beats theme song came on.
As for the actual Backyardigans episodes, they are a lot of fun. If it weren't for the Fresh Beats being tacked on as an afterthought, this could have been one of the better 4th season DVDs.
Only 3 Episodes? May 8, 2010

Our girls love the Backyardigans, and we have collected all the dvds. They always love watching the show when it comes on Treehouse, and when we're traveling they play the dvd's in the van.
So I know a thing or two about the show and the dvd series. And each dvd has always had two hours worth of Backyardigans. Either four single episodes, or a double-length two parter and two single episodes.
This dvd is only 90 minutes long. Three single episodes. Collectors get to pay full price for 3/4's worth of value. Forget the "bonus" material - it's annoying. If that show was worth anything, people would buy it without being coerced in this way. It's certainly not the new "Wiggles" or anything.
However.... the 3 episodes are still great. I'd hate to recommend not buying this, because these shows are quite engaging and entertaining, and are not inferior in terms of typical Backyardigans quality.
Enjoy the three episodes, but skip over the stupid bonus at the end.
 Seriously? I'm missing an episode May 3, 2010

All of the backyardigans DVDs have four episodes, unless they have one that is a double length feature... and this one doesn't. They should sell this one at 75% what the other DVDs sell for, because that's what you're getting -- 25% less episodes for the same price.
Three Backyardigans Episodes - 5 stars. "Bonus" FreshBeat - 1 star April 29, 2010

My daughter is a Backyardigans addict. We have all the DVDs and most of the paraphernalia. "Gagains" was one of her first words. She's sitting on my lap right now listening to Backyardigans on iTunes. So I think we have cred to give this review.
I pre-ordered this DVD when I saw it was coming out and was very excited to have more variety to throw into our mix. The three episodes included are very cute and were a big hit with my daughter (22 months) and her cousin (29 months). In particular they loved Break-out (60s girl band music) and For the Love of Socks (Indian music). Even my sister's teen/tweens liked Break-out.
But a negative 564 stars for including an episode of The Fresh Beat Band in place of a fourth episode. If I wanted a Fresh Beat Band DVD I would buy it. And vomit while I burned it. The show is soooo stupid! If it was included as a "bonus" special feature I could stomach it. But I feel very cheated, in particular because the Christmas episode "The Action Elves Save Christmas" (yes, we watch a LOT of Backyardigans in my house, but no other kids' TV :) could have been included.
I'll be interested to see if Nick continues this trend. I'm planning a letter to them as well.
Amazon keeps changing the price on this DVD so the bottom line is it's worth it around $11 but not at the higher prices I've seen.
 Great movie for young children April 22, 2010

As usually the backyardigans comes out with a movie that really gets young children involved. This is a good movie to watch and I have also become hooked on their adventures. My grand daughter sings and dances along with them. Hope there are more to come.
