  1. Wow! My son has one of the DVD's and I watched some of it, but I never realized that each episode has a different genre. I really liked the one that had the blues type music. For a second I thought of Ella Fitzgerald and Queen Latifah's last release. I'll have to pick up some more DVD's...

  5. The episode is "Cave Party" not "Cave People". It's just a small mistake I've noticed.
