Summary: Glad to see this series on DVD
Review: I'm sure most people looking at this DVD are already familiar with the There Goes... series. They all feature Dave and sometimes Becky looking into some kind of vehicle or piece of equipment. Designed for children, they are very watchable by adults and are fairly educational, if for nothing else than the vocabulary.
What I like best about the DVD is that it contains 3 programs. It could fit 4 but hey it's better than wasting a whole DVD on less than 30 minutes like many other children's titles. With the individual videos selling for as much as [$], getting three on a DVD for [$$](...) is a good deal. Now that I've eliminated VHS in my house, it is nice to see multi-program DVDs like this one and I hope to see more in the future...
I have just a few comments about this DVD in regards to the content. I really didn't find any of the scenes too "scary" or irresponsible as few others have described. There is some comedy about Dave falling in the garbage, but there are also several examples of safety commentary in the program as there are in all the Real Wheels tapes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Depends on who reviews it
Review: If my 2 and half year old son would review these DVDs, he would give it a five star rating. I gave it a four stars because the acting is atrocious, and it doesn't realy give an overview of every eg. garbage truck in the country. We live in New Jersey and the garbage trucks here do not look anything like the garbage trucks in California. No where in the DVD does it explain that your garbage trucks could look different then the ones in California.

My son though LOVES Dave and Becky. He shows genuine concern for Becky and for Dave when they fall or slip on a banana peel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie sets is a terrible for children.
Review: In the garbage truck movie, Dave plays dangerously around a dumpster and falls in only to be lifted up into the trash truck and dumped. He also falls into the back of a small trash truck that drives around with his feet sticking up. While my sons loves to watch the trash truck each week, I do not want him to think it is OK to play or horse around near them.

In the fire truck movie, Dave missing the fire truck when it leaves to go on a call and runs into the street to try to catch up by chasing it down the middle of the street. I don't want my son to learn that behavior either.

I checked these out of the library and am glad I did not waste my money. There are other live action truck videos for kids that don't encourage dangerous behavior like the ones by Fred Levine including Road Construction ahead and Farm Country Ahead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mom's Beware
Review: Mom's beware that once your 2 or 3 year old boys watch this DVD you will never watch another DVD again. My son has watched all these DVD's in the series over and over again. These are a great buy. I did not hesitate to pre-order all the other DVD's in the series. Buy yours today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truck Adventures is Great!!
Review: My 2 year old son loves this DVD! And my husband and I enjoy it as well. This DVD includes 3 videos: There Goes A Fire Truck, There Goes a Garbage Truck, and There goes a Truck, plus a bunch of special features. This is a great deal! Most children's DVD's are just copies of their VHS cousins, with no bonus material, lasting only 30 minutes, and expensive This one is over 90 minutes, and priced the same as other DVD's.

We don't own a TV, so we curl up in front of the computer and watch. We love truck driver Dave, and his side-kick truck driver Becky for their enthusiasm, sense of humor, and their ability to teach in a very entertaining way. I do hope they come out with more DVD versions of "There Goes..." series. We would buy them all. Our son has learned so much, and animately describes the scenes to me as each new scenario comes up. I think girls would enjoy this, too. Becky is right in there with Dave and all their misadventures.

Highly recommended. You and your kids will be very happy you purchased this great DVD

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Friday Morning Every Day!!
Review: My 2 year old son wakes from a dead sleep to the sound of the garbage truck roaring up the street just so that he can watch the garbage guys do their thing! Now, thanks to Dave, we get that excitement any time he has the craving to watch Big Rigs in action! This is our second DVD in this series (we have the planes, trains, and buses one as well). Yeah, Dave is a little cheesy, but very enjoyable. I think my children enjoy the continuity of seeing him in each of these roles...he's just a big kid trying out different jobs, just like they do! Be sure to catch such quotables as "What you doing driving that big old truck", "OOOOOH Becky!!!!", and "Uh Oh! I shouldn't have done that!!!"

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: OK BUT NOT GREAT
Review: MY CHILD WHO IS ALMOST 2, LOVES TRUCKS. I READ THE REVIEW'S AND TROUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT, BUT THERE IS TO MUCH TALKING AND NOT ENOUGH OF THE TRUCKS.

NOT RECOMMENED FOR YOUNG TRUCK LOVERS!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent children's entertainment!
Review: My son has watched it almost daily ever since he could ask for it by name. I highly reccomend the entire series!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: still loves to watch
Review: My two sons are now 9 and 12 but when these dvd's were on video
tape they loved them. They have every one and they still have all the VCR tapes.
My boys will once in a while pop one of these tapes in the VCR and they still enjoy watching it at their age. I also like the shows. They were so funny. I am now purchasing the dvd's for a nephew and for a friends 2 year old. Hope they have as much fun wathching as my boys did.

Rating: 5 stars
