One of the previews was for a vampire cartoon, for example. I stand by my 5 star review since you can bypass the previews and go directly to the main menu, but wanted to include it in my overall review so other buyers are aware.

With 2 kids, ages 2 1/2 and 4 1/2, who love Richard Scarry books, we got the Busytown Mysteries DVD. The kids love watching them and pretending to be Huckle and Sally. The characters find clues to solve simple mysteries they encounter with each story running about 15 minutes. There are two stories per episode. Huckle and Sally are good examples of a brother and sister who treat each other with kindness and respect.The one major drawback that prevents me from giving this 5 stars are Pig Will and Pill Won't. They are obnoxious and spend a lot of time arguing with each other. Unfortunately, their behavior is rarely addressed by the other characters and is often just laughed off. A few times Sally suggests they stop arguing, which is nice to see. We talk about the pigs behavior with our kids and ask them who is the better example of the kind of siblings they should be, the Pig Twins or Huckle and Sally, so we try to work around it.Overall, it is a cute program that encourages kids to solve problems critically.

Love that it had mystery episodes but then it seems to go into the much older Richard Scary show and my son doesn’t enjoy that as much. I thought it was all mysteries so a little disappointing

My son LOVES Huckle cat and Lowly worm. He is almost two, and I think this DVD is great for him. Even Thomas, the tank engine has some elements that I don't like for my son (eg: Thomas and Percy disrespecting Salty, or making fun of each other, etc), but Busytown is just simply packed with stuff that is great for a little kid to learn: Voices travel through pipes, if a blue blanket gets in the washer with the yellow T-shirt, the T-shirt will turn green, woodpeckers peck on doors, too, not just trees, there is such a thing as high tide, and SO much more stuff to learn. These cartoons are very cute and age appropriate. Also, you can't beat the price! I highly recommend it.

My 5 year old grand daughter loves these.

This show is excellent! The only reason I didn't give it full stars is that it is the same show that is on Netflix instant stream. I thought it was a different batch of Mysteries due to a different cover than the one on Netflix but it has a different order of the shows. I wish they would've kept making the show instead of stopping with the two seasons. My son loves it so much and has really gained some great vocabulary words and looks at things differently due to this show.

5 stars for a great show but 3 stars because it did not specify the season or episodes in the description. I am including a picture of the back of the dvd box so future buyers have an episode list. Also, as of 11/2019, all these episodes are free if you have Amazon Prime.

I give this 5 stars because my little boy loves it. Truthfully, it gives me a headache.However, it does a reasonable job of teaching lessons like observational skills, deduction, etc, all wrapped up in a "mystery show" format. We used to watch this on Netflix, but they dropped it suddenly and my son was heart broken.Well, at least this collection was here...now my son gets his fix. And it's a good, clean show. Perfect for the 4-7 year old crowd.
