There Goes a Bus [VHS]
If dialogue along the lines of "Look at the size of that tire" delivers your preschooler to the TV faster than a fifth-grade safety patrol can put on his neon helmet,There Goes a Busis the program for you. With Dave, our affable, overanimated host, we alight here on an information-jammed journey into the secret lives of the thundering buses that thrill us when we're little. The beloved yellow and black ones are only the beginning: besides city buses, cross-country Greyhound types, and touristy double-deckers, we also get a lift on an articulated number (the kind that bends) and--the traffic stopper--a bus that, when driven into water, becomes a boat. Stops for maintenance and under-the-hood investigations keep the wheels going round and round, and rap sessions with a bus-driving honcho buckle us in for the long haul.--Tammy La Gorce
