    Awesome!

    My son gets his homework done every day just to watch Ruff Ruffman! He loves this show!! He loves to build things and he has learned and gotten ideas from the show to build and explore new things. I can't recommend this show enough!!

    Great for the whole family!

    Funny, fast-paced. Feels like a 'grown up' or big kid show, but completely fine for my 6 year old to watch when my 3 year old is around (and I'm pretty picky). Very educational and lots of fun -- I enjoy watching with her! The three year old is npot interested, but there's nothing in it she can't see.

    I like it as much as the kids do.

    I like the humor in this show, and my kids are learning a lot from it. I rode on a roller coaster with my five-year-old, and he just kept shouting "Gravity!" and explained to me how there are no engines on roller coasters and how gravity makes them work. This is a fun show that kids learn a lot from.

    A big thumbs up!

    My daughter says this show is "cool and fun because kids get to go on adventures and try new things." I agree strongly. The kids participating in the show engage in a friendly competition and learn a lot about themselves and the world around them in the process.

    My 7 yr old rushed in to see this every day!

    This was a fantastic show! My daughter didn't quite get all the parts (she's 4) but my 7 yr old so LOVED it. He learned from the challenges and thought about how he'd do it. He thought the kids were great and really liked that they were just kids like him. He really loved the wacky intros of the kids each day. The problems with the Fetch 3000 were always good for a laugh too. The best part was that all the kids shared the winner's prize. It was great to watch as a family together and I can't wait for season 2!

    I can't wait to watch it again!

    There are lots of shows for the preschool agegroup, but as my girls are getting older, It was getting more and more difficult to find a show that doesnt just skip the 5-9 agegroup and go directly boy and makeup crazy tween shows. Fetch! is great! it keeps my kids attention, is age appropriate, and they enjoy turning off the TV when it is over and acting out what they just watched! I highly recomend this for everyone with 1st and 2nd graders.

    the show is great for kids even as young as 5. older children ages 7-13 (including mine) also enjoy the competition in this show. my kids love it.

    My son calls this "Survivor for Kids!"

    We have been using our DVR to catch "Fetch with Ruff Ruffman" every day. My son loves the challenges and can clearly relate to the activities. His favorite contestant is Kalil! It's a fun afternoon show.

    GIVES ME A HEADACHE!

    This show is ok, for its good science tips and all, but i suppose it's just preparing grade-schoolers to begin watching those horrible and stupid reality tv shows on MTV. I don't care much for this show, because it's almost a waste of time. It gives me a headache, because whoever was the moron camera man must had problems holding the freaking camera still! In season two, a young girl who is a contestant wears tight tanktops and I mean, TIGHT, along with short shorts and seems to be a very "prissy" kind of girl that annoys me. Do kids need to see a 11 or 12 year old dressed up that way? Also, Ruff seems to have crushes on female dogs. That's somewhat disturbing. But otherwise, I guess this show is ok, it has good science tips.

    Good show, but I miss Zoom

    So far, I have only watched one episode of this show and it is very good. The kids are all diverse and they work together as a team. Little kids will love this show, but older kids might miss Zoom. I know I do. All in all, I reccomend this for kids 5-13. I know it sounds weird for a 13 year old to watch it but it combines science and teamwork together and the tasks are challanging. Kids can play along at home.
