This is Nothing More Than a Discounted Repackaging

"Those who were hoping that perhaps the release of "Blue's Clues" box-sets might bring new special features, such as commentary or behind-the-scenes documentaries, are going to be disappointed. If you've been keeping up on your "Blue's Clues" DVD releases, then there is nothing here you haven't already seen. ABC's 123's and More Collection is nothing more than a repackaging of three previous DVDs: Blue Takes You to School, Shapes and Colors, and Blue's Big Band. If you don't have those, or haven't seen them before, this box-set might be worth checking out, since you get a lower price than you would purchasing all three separately. Otherwise, I recommend passing on this box-set."

Disappointed

"I would have to say I bought this Collection thinking that it had Steve Burns on the DVD's how very disappointing to get it and find out that Joe is on it instead. My daughter will not watch Joe for anything. They need to get more DVD's with Steve on them. There great video's if your kids like Joe but if not don't waste the money."

Steve is on these DVDs!

"Each disc contains 4 episodes: 2 "main" episodes with Joe, and 2 "bonus" episodes with STEVE!!! Yes, the one and only Steve Burns, the original Blue's Clues host. You just have to use the DVD menu to get to the Episode Selection screen, and the Bonus Episodes are the ones with Steve.
My daughter is 16 months old, and Blue's Clues is the only show she's interested in. She gets very excited when she knows that it's coming on, or when I put one of the DVDs in the player. She dances for the songs, especially the main Blue's Clues song, and this is the only show she'll actually watch (and want to watch). She doesn't seem to care if it's Steve or Joe, but my wife and I prefer Steve (nothing against Joe, but Steve just has this way about him that makes the show more entertaining, even for adults).
All in all, this is a great collection, and not deserving of the low star rating it was getting. Blue's Clues is a fantastic, award-winning kids' show, that emphasizes fun learning and building self-confidence and encourages kids to think through things for themselves. This DVD set is no exception to that high level of quality."

Great Deal

"This is a great value if you haven't purchased any of the discs. I just couldn't stand by and let this combo have only a three star rating when it's such good material for children."
