    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 5.0

    you can learn more!

    Jeff Corwin has entertained people like me for years and still is it's fun for people over and uner my age because some laugh and also learn at the same time. I would recomened that 6 and up year olds should watch it because then they get an early start on learning about animals they might know more than other kids in there classes. most other kids end up whatching cartoons that can teach them things that aren't real or you can't really do and it's true that happend to me but now playing learning and watching things i can learn from so that is why Jeff Corwin unleashed is great for learning.

    I rate this title on for age 5 and give it 3.0

    This one's OK

    In my rating I said this was OK for kids 5-7, but actually I believe all kids can watch this program. It shows the marvels of nature, as well as its dangers. Corwin shows how one respects wildlife in their natural habitat and recognizes the dangers that are present. It is a good an entertaining show.
