There were several VHS videos made for ComputerSmarts. Most were part of the Word Mystery series. They featured two alien puppets named Beek and Rains and their teacher DJ, which was an artificially intelligent computer program who was housed inside a TV monitor. They traveled around the planet in a clubhouse which served as their spaceship which seemed to be nothing more than a cardboard box. In each installment, they would use their ComputerSmarts consoles to learn about typing, sentence structure, paragraph composition, punctuation, word types, and alphabetical order. Users were prompted throughout the video to type words or letters as instructed by the characters. At the end, they are scored by the console on their performance.

​

The videos were produced by Chicago-based Kinetics Group, Ltd., directed by J. Ried Paul, written by Rick Oliver, and featured music by Tullio and Rans Music, Mark Ohlsen and Elliot Delman. All of these companies are defunct including Connor Forest Industries, Inc., the parent company of Connor Toy Corporation, which in turn was the parent of Connor Electronics.

​

While Beek and Rains were puppets who appeared in all of the videos along with DJ, each installment also featured live-action characters, most of which were portrayed by Jamie Baron and Joan Schwenk. These additional characters differed in each video, with Baron and Schwenk playing several characters each, but a few characters made appearances in multiple installments. Jamie Baron's Colonel Bragg character was the only live-action character to appear in all of the videos.
