Thoughts from OHM:

I wasn't too sure what to expect with this one, as we don't have cable. But WOW, this is seriously a fave in our house right now! I even love to sit down with Orangie and watch this! It's fabulous, funny, fresh, fun, quirky goodness! The 2 guest stars were 2 of our FAVES(!!!) and they played the roles perfectly! This dvd seriously makes me wish we had cable so we could check out other episodes of Fresh Beat Band! My daughter will be 8 next month and doesn't find it 'preschool-ish'! We give it an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up!
