"Fireman Sam: Hero Next Door is a full-screen children's DVD continuing the hit adventures of Fireman Sam and his firefighting crew. Together they learn that safety comes first when dealing with fire, which is one of the most dangerous things there is! The five colorful, computer-animated episodes are "A Real Live Wire", "Twist of Fate", "The Case of the Licorice Shoelaces", "Carnival of Junk", and "Joker Soaker", with a bonus "Roary the Racing Car" episode "Roary Sees Red". A wonderful addition to public library children's DVD shelves, and also an excellent gift for young children. Fireman Sam: Hero Next Door is a great way to get children thinking about fire safety - best followed by a parent-child discussion about do's and don'ts when dealing with fire, and what to do in the case that a fire breaks out in one's home. 45 minutes, English and French languages, closed-captioned.

Have to sit through several minutes of previews ... twice!

"The content of these DVDs is great. My son loves Fireman Sam. That being said, HIT/Lionsgate has created these DVDs so that you have to sit through several minutes of previews to get to the autoplay feature. Then, when you select autoplay, you have to sit through the previews again before you can watch the program. Anyone with an impatient two-year-old can imagine what a pain this is. Shame on HIT/Lionsgate for forcing this on consumers."
