I work with troubled youth ages 4 - 9 and they really enjoy this show because they are able to learn good messages from it. I like this show because the kids i work with can be very disrespectful and all about me me me at times and this show teaches them to be respectful and that not everything is about me me me. The kids will point out how rude kuzco is and that they would never treat people that way and i use it as a great discussion starter about there own manors and how they should treat people.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Emperor's New School
Parents need to know that this show is intended for entertainment purposes only -- despite the potentially interesting and educational setting (an Incan empire), there's no learning about history or the culture of these people. The main character, Kuzco, is a self-absorbed teen. He lies and cheats in order to secure his high school diploma. He's also disrespectful to adults.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why Kuzco faces challenges with friends and administrators at school and what changes he could make to be more likable. Could his terrible attitude and actions be a way to cover up his normal adolescent feelings of insecurity? Would kids want to be friends with someone like Kuzco given how he treats others?

Can be very lame at times
You can tell the creators did it trying to revive the "Emperor's New Groove" theme. Didn't work well.

Ugh. Just horrible.
This show is something that even younger kids won't enjoy. In the Emperor's New School, Kuzko, from the original movie The Emperor's New Groove, is a bit more different from the film. He's so self-conceited, rude, selfish, and ugh!!!! So annoying! I mean, let's be real here! Do you want your child to turn out like Kuzco who thinks only about himself? The answer is probably no. This show doesn't teach any lessons and I don't recommend it to anyone; especially younger children who are SUPPOSED to be learning RIGHT FROM WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just horrible, don't waste your time.
- I rate this title iffy for age 7 and give it
Stupid--Don't waste your time!
It's boring, rarely funny, and conceited Kuzco only talks about Malina,the hottie-hot-hottie, and himself. I would'nt waste my time with this annoying show!
