TV on DVD Review of the Week: VeggieTales Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush

I kept waffling about if VeggieTales counted as a television show, but with the new Indiana Jones movie recently released this VeggieTales parody came to mind as a good one to review on this blog. After looking at the episode list of what VeggieTales DVD stories have aired as part of the VeggieTales shows on NBC and ION I decided this one definitely fits with in with my kid’s tv blog.

VeggieTales - Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush is a parody of Indiana Jones with Larry the Cucumber playing Minnesota Cuke, who is an Indiana Jones like character. The DVD also contains another VeggieTales story about Junior Asparagus dealing with bullies. The lesson taught in this DVD is about dealing with bullies as God would want you to.

The Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush parody is one of the most interesting ones done in the VeggieTales series. It has some adventure to it with Minnesota Cuke getting artifacts such as a golden carrot and Samson’s hairbrush for the Moose Lake Children’s Museum.

The silly song on this DVD is “Pizza Angel,” which is also among my favorite of the VeggieTales silly songs. It is Larry the Cucumber singing about wanting his pizza to come as he waits forever for the delivery guy to come.

Besides the great stories that teach kids how to deal with bullies, this DVD also contains a lot of special features. My favorite being the audio commentary, but there are also some fun things for kids such as a Catacomb Game, Worm Pit Family Activity Idea, and Petunia’s Worm recipe.
