Both my kids have loved this show - and my wife and I have loved watching it with them. It's fun, totally non-offensive, bright and colourful and very entertaining. Yes, the plots are simplistic, but the problem solving the characters undertake in each episode is clear and easy for the young to follow. My sons learned about many things form this show (magnetism, protecting the environment etc) and from them have further developed their understanding of these concepts. It's rare these days to have a kids show that has no conflict in it. I'm not adverse to conflict (my boys and I love things like Star Wars too), but this is real universal kids show and is all the more welcome for that. Most of all, it's a happy show that can be watched and enjoyed by all ages and so is a great program for the whole family to share.
