Talk:Baby Einstein

Release dates

I've added a source for the DVD release dates. It's not official, but it's the best I could find. The source listed DVDs released after 2009, but I left them out since this article states that the last video was released in September 2009. Clarinetguy097 (talk) 13:54, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Sources for release dates

This article (along with many others on kids' TV shows) has seen repeated changes to dates by fly-by IP editors. There are never sources or explanations and the IPs do not respond to talk requests. That ends now.

I just added sources for four dates. It took about 3 minutes. I will source the rest over the next few days. Anyone wishing to change dates after that, will need to provide a source. Unsourced changes will be reverted. Editors will be warned and blocked as needed. Page protection will also be used as needed.

Questions? Comments? No? Good. - SummerPhD^v2.0 13:43, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

While I am at it, I've taken care of a few other minor quibbles.

I have removed the obvious links in the titles of the videos. We generally do not add Wikilinks inside of titles/direct quotes.

I have removed the VHS and DVD headers, merged the two sections and arranged by year, then alphabetically. The format of each release is not particularly relevant for the purposes of this article and I am not finding separate sources for release dates by format. - SummerPhD^v2.0 21:12, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

In case it wasn't obvious, removing sources and then changing dates is not gonna work. Also, adding titles that don't seem to exist and using a source for a somewhat similar -- but clearly different -- title with a different date is also going to be a problem.

If this is all too confusing, feel free to discuss the issue here. - SummerPhD^v2.0 04:02, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Marketing Ploy with Ugly Kids

Why do the Baby Einstein DVDs have those really ugly kids and babies in them? I see that two of them are the creator's children so that makes sense but what about the rest? Are they all relatives or friends of the family? Or is it a smooth marketing technique to use ugly kids and babies so people will remember the video / DVD just for that reason. I sure do...ewwwwww. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.176.171 (talk) 17:24, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

I think it may be to add some diversity to the videos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.24.31 (talk) 00:10, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

In the earlier videos. They are just nearby kids from where Clark was filming in Colorado. For the later ones, idk. Dj100024 (talk) 03:58, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Get it right

Can I just say something. I am what they call a Baby Einstein Enthusiast. I know this shit. People falsely thinking Shakespeare is 2000 and Bach is 199o is one thing. Thinking Baby Newton was in 01, and the discovery kit order is another thing. Like come on people, Get it right. Dj100024 (talk) 03:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

The problem is that the themes were released on VHS and a few months later on DVD. The article should be giving the original release dates. For example, Baby MacDonald had a release date entered of 2004. That's because it was released on DVD on 16 March 2004, per this source [1]. Its first release was 5 October 2003. 2003 was entered in the article this afternoon and promptly reverted.

Another example: Baby Neptune:Discovering Water. DVD release was 18 March 2003. Original release was 27 May 2002. Date was changed from 2003 to 2002 but has been changed back. Meet The Orchestra:First Instruments is shown with its DVD release date of 2006 but was first released on 17 September 2005. Can we get our act together on this? 92.1.65.91 (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

List of videos and kits

I've blanked the two lists as they are unsourced and a constant magnet for edit warring/disruptive editing. Until we can find a source, it should not be included. Even if we do find sources, I am not convinced a list adds any value. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:03, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

I agree with the blanking, but some newbie accounts and IPs have been edit warring to put it back. Per WP:NOT we don't maintain product lists on Wikipedia, particularly unsourced ones. - MrOllie (talk) 18:56, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
