Summary: purchased 12 years ago at NASA
Comment: Oh how can anyone not like Dave and Becky? Yes, it is cheese-whiz to an aged Camembert, but what kid likes $100 a pound cheese, anyway? The fact we bought it at NASA helped, too. Dave and Becky rock ANY planet, even if their production budget didn't include authentic stranded on the moon footage. ;)
I remembered this movie for my now teen's younger brothers so they could enjoy what he did as a tyke, because we liked how the production led to excitement without compromising character.
It is GOOD, WHOLESOME fun, w/o the in your face dramatics that is too typical of kid's productions nowadays.

Summary: Good, good stuff
Comment: "Hi Dave and Becky! Can you fly the space shuttle to our house and play?" That's what I heard my three-year-old saying while he walked around our kitchen with my cell phone to his head. This video is largely responsible for Christmas 2007's heavy space theme. Even our 1-year-old is running around the house with random items, like spatulas and dog toys, saying "space!" and making space sounds. Embrace the wonderful horrible and intentional bad acting for the genius it is. Freeze frame Dave using the toilet on the space shuttle and prepare for lift off. Good, good stuff. We also have "There Goes a Train, ... an Airplane, ... a Helicopter..." etc. This one is by far the fave in the house.

Summary: fun and educational
Comment: Dave and Becky are back in this movie which takes them to the Kenedy space center among other places. Typical Dave antics abound, but I know my children have learned lots from this and all the "There goes a...." movies.

Summary: another adventure for Dave and Becky
Comment: If you are familiar with the There Goes A .... video series, you'll know what to expect here. Dave and Becky visit rockets, try on space suits and generally bring a bit of the Stooges to NASA as they learn about rockets and astronauts. Not the best of there many adventures, but of interest to fans of the series or kids who want to know a bit about our space program.

Summary: Little Mammoth is better
Comment: I bought this video for my son because I was looking for a child-level introduction to the some of the things I find interesting. My son does enjoy this video but I feel that he doesn't need to be exposed to the pointless, foolish humor used throughout. There are some good scenes in this video. One of Dave running alongside a Saturn 5 rocket really gives a sense of the scale, but why give a visual explanation of how an astronaut uses a toilet? If you're looking for a good video for kids that introduces them to the space shuttle and rockets I would recommend The Big Space Shuttle by Little Mammoth Media.
