 The Wiggles: Pop Go the Wiggles August 1, 2008
We purchased this because it seemed to be the "latest" release of the Wiggles. It is all nursery rhymes, which is cute, but tends to be less energetic than "Wiggly Dancing" or some of the other popular DVDs/CDs. I enjoyed hearing nursery rhymes that I hadn't heard since I was a child. My daughter's interest wasn't held as well as some of the other DVDs since it was less interactive. The characters looked more like they were posing/acting out pages in a nursery rhyme book than performing or dancing. The dancing just wasn't as energetic as DVDs in the past.
 Not as jazzy and upbeat as before July 28, 2008

We love the Wiggles--me, my 3 year old son, and my 12 month old son too. Both my sons groove and dance to the Wiggles every time I put their music on. This video, however, was disappointing. It is a collection of nursery rhymes, which I knew before I bought the video, but I expected the songs to be Wiggle-ified, meaning, I thought these classic songs would be jazzed up and choreographed in their unique Wiggly way. However, these songs put us to sleep! Most are so slow! I don't know why they chose to slow down the tempo so much. My kids sit through the video but their eyes glaze over. I get bored too. There are lots of interesting costume changes, but costumes aren't what my kids care for. They like the upbeat get-up-and-dance music with simple, understandable themes and easy motions they can follow. This video does not provide that.
The only times my 3 year old grins and laughs is when Captain Feathersword pops out of the jack-in-the-box.
And I agree with a previous poster that Sam's voice is more musical theater. A great voice but not very Wiggly...I think his almost operatic voice was less approachable for my kids and harder for them to connect with. This video made us miss Greg!
Aside from the music, the video is well made. And I was glad to see that the other 3 Wiggles still have their energy and enthusiasm.
Update 8/5: We just went to the Pop Goes the Wiggles Live concert and it was FANTASTIC. If anyone is reading reviews here because they are anticipating going to the concert, then you should know that although this video isn't that upbeat and danceable, the concert IS. My 3 year old son wore himself out jumping up and down and dancing like crazy. Sam has an awesome voice and I was able to appreciate it more live than on video. I was very impressed with him and the whole concert. Sam is now my son's favorite Wiggle!
Charming and Delightful July 21, 2008

I will unashamedly say I love this DVD. My son is just now at the age where he really enjoys singing, and the fact that he can watch the Wiggles performing fun and gently catchy versions of the songs he's learning at daycare have made this his new favorite as well. He loves trying out the actions and singing along with the characters on the TV, and it's a joy to watch him enjoying himself so much.
I've read a complaint about the greenscreen backgrounds, but I don't have a problem with them, and neither does my son, which is far more important. The one sad thing is that Greg is not longer part of the Wiggles, but I have to say that Sam was an excellent choice to take his place. Sam's voice is lovely, and he's just as sweet and lively as the other, original Wiggles. And even better is that Dorothy, Wags, Henry and (my favorite) Captain Feathersword are there as well, all taking part in the action. The costumes are great, and it was a treat seeing all the Wiggles performing on instruments.
This DVD is, in short, a fantastic way to help your child learn the canon rhymes and songs of childhood. I can't recommend it highly enough.
My kids love this video July 14, 2008
It's nice to see Sam in a video now (my son has been waiting for some videos with Sam in them!). These nursery rhymes are catchy songs I must say...maybe a little too catchy (we hear them all day after watching it once!), but my boys love it.
My Favorite...and my son's June 20, 2008
Bought the CD. Bought the DVD. It's on in the car and at home on TV (respectively). My son is entertained...now if only I didn't have to listen to it 5 times a day, I'd actually say this is my favorite out of all the Greg/Sam Wiggles....now we just have to see them perform this live to complete the delivery of this title.
