This is for kids--adults beware!
Our 2 1/2 year old has watched this many times and loves it...but Dad has to find something else to do now when its on. I wish that it didn't have the stupid "inserts" which try and give it a story or narrative quality. Helicopters, that's what we want! There are a good variety of Helicopters on the video, which makes it worth owning. There are Coast-Guard, Marine & LA Police Department helicopters. My son does seem to have learned a lot. He has a toy helicopter and he uses the string and hook on it to rescue people, like on the video. But the "explanations" on the video are simplistic in the extreme. They probably tried to accomplish too many things on this one video. My son would give it 4 stars at least, so that's what I give it.

My son loves it!
This is one of the better videos in the "There Goes A..." series. If you can get past goofball Dave and his sidekick Becky, it really is interesting and informative.
