Parents need to know that this is a fairly innocuous cartoon about a superhero dog (originally owned by Superman) who, along with his coterie of companions, saves the city of Metropolis from an array of villains. Each half-hour episode is broken down into a pair of shorter stories, making this a good length for younger viewers; the action is suitable for the little ones as well, since the bad guys get theirs, but in a pretty tame fashion -- often tangled up in their own tails or scared right into a cage.

Families can talk about issues raised by the show. In one episode, for example, when Streaky becomes a "supercat," he wants to use his powers against the dogs who have bullied him in the past. Krypto comes to the rescue and offers some advice about Streaky's new duties. Children can explore what it means to have responsibility, and what their individual responsibilities are. On the lighter side, parents can ask kids what it would be like to have a pet with super powers.
