Muzzy? Or similar program?

Has anyone tried or know anything about the Muzzy language learning program. My first language was French but I'm quickly losing it since moving away from my parents 5 years ago (and not having lived in Belgium since I was 4!).

I meant to speak to the girls in French...but I rarely do. Now when I do to DD1, she gets really mad that she doesn't understand I feel like I'm really letting them down by not at least trying to teach them what I know.

I really wish there was a French preschool in our area to help reinforce it.. but sadly it's about an hour drive. I was thinking just playing DD's regular DVDs in French if that's an option, but I thought maybe a program to help me teach her would work better... 

I can't believe I'm asking this But if anyone has any input, I'd love to hear it! FWIW, I used to be a teacher.. and an ELL one at that! So I know all about HOW, I'm just struggling w/ actually speaking it w/ my girls and would love something that helped get us started and that DD would enjoy..something to make it easier on me I saw the program is $200 which I'm fine w/ paying...if it's a cute thing DD would like to watch, and it's worth it. Thanks

We have the Little Pim dvd set in Hebrew and love it.  DH grew up in Israel and his parents bought it for dd.  I am not sure about how it compares to Muzzy or other programs since I don't think Hebrew is available anywhere else.  FWIW, my Italian teacher in high school used to show us the Muzzy videos that he used for his daughters.  I guess he thought they were good and he was a teacher.
