Random House Home Video is the video company a division of Random House, Inc., which produced a series based on Richard Scarry's work (specifically his books related to Busytown), titled Richard Scarry's Best Videos Ever! (Alternatively known as "the Best Videos Ever!") from 1989 to 1994.
As of now, a total of six videos in Richard Scarry's Best Videos Ever were published by Random House Home Video.
It's likely that the said series had came to a sudden end either due to the passing of Richard Scarry himself on April 30th, 1994 (especially as in the last two videos, there is a dedication text that reads "In Warm Memory of Richard Scarry 1919-1994", confirming that he did in fact passed away before the last two videos were released), and/or because another screened-adaptation of Richard Scarry's work at the time, A TV series produced by Cinar Animation (later known as "Cookie Jar Group") titled "The Busy World of Richard Scarry" had overshadowed the popularity of the VHS series.
