 It's exacly what I expected November 26, 2007
We bought this dvd because the "Polka Palace Party" was on the "On Demand" channels on cable. Meaning, my two girls (twins 14 months) were able to watch this over and over. Thing is, it only runs "on demand" for a couple of weeks. So, we decided to buy the dvd. PPP is the best one on the dvd. The songs are really cute and not too annoying. The other ones...well, they get progressively worse as the dvd goes on.
But really, what kids' song-type show ISN'T annoying? So, it's worth buying for the first two episodes. More importantly the first one. We even sing the songs to them when it's not on. They're pretty catchy!
 purchase episodes at Amazon Unbox? September 24, 2007
when are they going to make Backyardigan episodes available for download, like Blue's Clues? i really want them to be available at Amazon Unbox. it would be a great convenience for us! my daughter loves Backyardigans. :)

MY GRANDKIDS LOVE THE BACKYARDIGANS! WHEN YOU CANNOT FIND SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT TO WATCH ON TV, THESE VIDEOS WILL DO THE TRICK!
 Only DVD that 'skips' April 2, 2007
We love the backyardigans also. The kids want to watch the DVD's more than any others. I don't have problems with any other, but this one 'skips' and they get aggravated because it does it on a favorite part or two. I see others had the same problem.
Really good kid's stuff March 27, 2007

I have a 3.25-year-old son who's pretty energetic and doesn't normally stay focused for a long time on most TV shows, but he loves the Backyardigans, and really pays attention. These things are super well-done - they don't really "talk down" to kids, opting instead to put in just enough subtlety and complexity so as to allow the child to discover different things on his own. The characters are great - varied and unique, and they don't constantly "yell" (like that annoying "Dora" and that whole crew). There's a tiny smattering of "real world" in the plots (unlike the also-annoying "Franklin") , so as to very gently address certain real world issues, but not go over the kids' heads or scare them. And the music is fantastic, blending cowboy scenarios with Brazilian or Vaudeville with 50s rock - very clever and original songs, too, straying tongue-in-cheek often into Broadway musical territory (unlike the annoying and cheesy Backyardigans rip-off "Wonder Pets").
Get all of them, like I did, you won't regret it.
