My kid loved it!

"I bought this for my[..]who is obsessed with anything that has wheels. He has watched it over and over again, and has memorized the catchy intro songs for both sections (Trucks and Firetrucks.) His 4 yr old friend also really liked it. The acting is not sophisticated, but the footage of the actual trucks and emergency procedures kept the kids' attention. We also have the Hard Hat Harry Rescue Adventures/Police Cars, but my son has only shown moderate interest in that video."
It's for kids

"My 2-year-old has not been interested in television until Hard Hat Harry, and now it has become a regular part of his day. My toddler loves all the videos, and my older kids like all the information. It's a little hard for an adult to watch -- the acting is cheesy -- but it is fine and friendly and fun for young kids."
Embrace the Cheese

"My 3-year-old son LOVES Hard Hat Harry. Yes, the videos are dated and obviously low-budget. Yes, the acting is amateurish. Yes, the editing is laughable. But I didn't buy these videos (we have all of them) for MY entertainment. They are surprisingly informative. This one in particular, as well as the Race Cars/Monster Trucks and the Rescue Adventures/Police Cars are my kid's favorites.
My son, a stereotypical boy, loves to learn about cars and trucks. In this video, Harry teams up with a pair of kids and shows them what it's like to be a trucker or fire fighter. My kid quotes lines from the cheesy dialogue, and has decided he wants to be a fireman (and a policeman!) when he grows up.
These DVDs have become a staple in our house, and to be honest Hard Hat Harry is a LOT less annoying than, say, a certain ubiquitous furry red muppet who hasn't yet mastered the first-person pronoun."
