    This teaches horrible lessons

    I watched a few shows, and they were redefining terms. Everyone was a hero. The mail main, the pizza guy were all heros. To quote the bad guy in Incredibles, when everyone is a hero, no one will be. Part of the post modern/relitivism garbage.

    This show is RETARTED

    This show is about four kids and a grown up canadian squirell, and how they have fun but always run into a situation, where the kids freak out like it will never be solved. They sing a retarted song which summons a worker who fits what needs to be done. Before that, the only girl character: twinkle comes up with a dumb idea that the others clap at but the squirell character(fran) has enough sense to point out the problem which is the whole thing. The kids always need a hero to do the work instsead of trying to fix it themselves which might cause kids to become over-dependant. This is ok for kids like 2- since they have no problems to deal with.

    They are a good bunch of kids that do kid stuff and find out that there are people trained to do just about anything they can think of. My daughter really enjoys this show and is thinking about what she wants to be when she grows up. That's good.
