 Another great Wiggles DVD January 6, 2009
D. G. Furman (Colombia)
My boys absolutely love this DVD. I was concerned b/c they've only known the Wiggles with Greg in the group (as the yellow Wiggle), and now Sam is his replacement. But they accepted that without a problem, and ask for "Wiggles Sam" now. My boys (ages 5, 4, and 4) dance and sing along with the Wiggles. Personally I prefer the older versions, with original songs and Greg Page as the yellow Wiggle, but it's not for me that we play this anyway. My boys ask for this every day, and I love watching them try to copy the Wiggles.
"Mo' Wiggle Wiggle, Mo' Wiggle Wiggle!!" January 1, 2009

My 2-year old LOVES the Wiggles, and this is our new favorite DVD. Every day she wiggles her hips and yells, "Mo Wiggle Wiggle, Mo Wiggle Wiggle!!" (Translation: "More Wiggles, Please!") She watches her older sister and brother's Wiggles tapes every day and loves those (Wiggly, Wiggly World, TOOT TOOT Big Red Car, Wiggly Time, etc.), but this new DVD is so much more sophisticated. As others have said, Sam is a great singer and my daughter hasn't caught on to the fact that Sam is a different Yellow Wiggle from Greg. Shhhh! I love the group's enthusiasm, even after all of these years! The songs on this DVD are catchy and very well done. I even find myself singing them during the day, but not in an annoying "can't get that song out of my head" way. We have not been disappointed!
 Are they still trying to appeal to 2-3 year olds? December 31, 2008

First off, I love the Wiggles. I have been to their live shows (can't be beat) and appreciate that my kids groove along with the TV; they don't just sit there like bumps on a log! They can generally learn the lyrics and dance moves with a bit of practice (my son is 2 1/2; daughter is now 5, but loved them at 2-3 years as well). And then came Sam... I honestly really didn't mind the thought of Greg leaving and a "new guy" coming in. I didn't anticipate much of anything with the Wiggles changing, other than the sound of the singer's voice. My kids have noticed the change, but didn't seem to care either. And I still wouldn't care if that were all that changed. The problem is that with all these new songs come complicated, choreographed songs and dances. My kids don't stand a chance of learning many of these songs. One, the "Shimmie Shake," albeit catchy, is an obvious Beatles / Ed Sullivan tribute. What toddler is going to pick up on that? And the go-go dancers in the background are doing 60's dances to boot. It's kind of cute in a way, but again, my kids cannot do any of these moves and don't get the humor. There's another song about cats where the dancers look like they just walked off the Broadway stage, from that "Cats" show. The only lyric to this song is "meow." Again, very complicated choreography (balancing on one hand while turning, pawing a bit seductively at the screen), and the kids don't get the reference. I fail to find the value for children in a song like this at all, to be honest.
What I loved about the Wiggles is that they all went to college and majored in early childhood education and really used that experience to guide the "band" and show, catering it to little kids and their needs. Sam apparently is a music theater major and that now seems to be guiding everything. What I once really liked, I now really don't (they DO sit there like bumps on a log and watch this). Granted, the kids are mildly entertained, but they don't interact at all with what they're seeing. I really limit how much they watch this, whereas I didn't worry about that before. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Greg! At least in this house, the Wiggles have officially "jumped the shark."
One last smarmy thing - one song features Anthony as a cowboy of sorts checking out the girl Wiggly dancers. It's very PG and everything, but what's with his skin tight pants?!? I like Anthony and all, but I don't want to know him THAT well!
 Wiggles Dancing December 29, 2008

It is o.k, more graphics than the older stuff. I'm probably just so accustomed to the older ones that it seemed a little weird with lots of graphic backgrounds vs. live stage like appearance. New guy seems to be a good fit. o.k but got a bit boring after a while same singing and dancing throughout. I like mixing it up a bit more to hold their attention. Mother of 2 age 5 and 2
I'd Listen to it even if I didn't have 2 Wiggles Fans! December 19, 2008
Nicole Newland (Naples, FL)
I have not ever been such a giant fan of Sam, but this video really made me like him. The first two songs, in my opinion, are the best, but the whole video is great. I don't mind that my 2.5 year old watches it over and over. It normally takes my oldest daughter, who has autism, quite a while to get into a new DVD, but she took to this one immediately!
