"I am so excited to see that "Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks" is available on DVD. It is the only series that I allow my 16 month old watch and he loves it. Each episode begins with Grandpa Winks telling his grandchildren a story of growing up with his friends in Ireland and then the episode shows Grandpa's adventures as a youngster, "Piggley Winks". Each story has a lesson and the series shows the importance of family and friends. Also, you know it's got to be good if Mel Brooks is involved (he supplies the voice of Wiley the sheep)."
FABULOUS!!!

"I am so glad that Jakers has come to DVD. I actually miss watching this during the day because of work. I can honestly and proudly say that I have been known to watch this program on PBS even when my children aren't around because I enjoy it and the sheep crack me up every episode! This is definitely a movie adults won't mind watching with their children. Sunday movie night just got a boost!"
We love Jakers!

"I was so happy to see that some episodes of Jakers has been released to dvd. We used to watch it with our daughter on the local pbs station in nyc but then we moved from the area and found that our new city's local pbs station didn't show it. This is actually the one kid's show that both my husband and I don't mind watching with our daughter. Jakers follows the adventures of Piggly Winks and his pals while growing up in Ireland. They get into plenty of mischief but there is always a lesson to be learned and the values of families and friendship are strongly reinforced. Whether you're already aquainted with Jakers or are new to it, this is a great dvd."
Piggley Movies are awesome!

"Piggley movies share great values with children while still being entertaining. I love the Irish accents and my daughter tries to imitate them."
