    Wonderful for children

    A great show for kids. The animation is crisp and clean and it teaches the many values of everday life. I recommend this for kids of all ages and those who are kids at heart.

    Love it

    My 4 year old watches Franklin and loves it. He reads every book he finds about Franklin, and he's learning sharing/cooperation/helping others.

    90% Negative, 10% Positive

    Franklin is a charming and well-presented show which addresses age-appropriate issues in an eventually-constructive manner. Our two older children (now 6 and 7) watched Franklin for several months when they were younger, and we watched it with them. The problem is that, for 90% of each show, Franklin and/or his friends clearly show the wrong way to address the issue at hand. Not only does Franklin always handle a situation the wrong way initially, he spends the rest of the show exaggerating the problem. Only a few minutes at the end are allowed for resolution; not enough to drive the point home. Sure, kids are kids, and they may not know how to handle situations. BUT, why not teach them to handle situations correctly in the first place? Franklin doesn't help in that regard.

    It sucks, but okay for little kids

    This show is bad, but it is okay for kids under 5. With all this other stuff aimed at 2-4 year olds like Teletubbies, Caillou, Barney, Dora the Explorer, and Max and Ruby this is one of the better ones for kids...but not for ANYONE over 4 years old!

    Hey! It's Franklin!

    How can this not be a big hit with the teen crowd? It has everything teens deal with... relationships, fighting, disagreements, helping, and doing the right thing. Instead of turning to this, teenagers watch methamphetamine and testosterone poisoining wrapped up nice and neat inside your TV, disguised as shows. These obviously ruin their brain forever, because look at how they act! Even in front of adults teens act horrible. We need more stuff like this in our world!
