Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Characters set good examples, but they're also rather stereotypical. Mike doesn't put the same energy into her schoolwork that she puts into her creative schemes.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Not an issue.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Characters name-call with words like "stupid" and "dumb."
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Mike, Lu & Og

Parents need to know that this series provides a mixed bag of messages. On one hand, these islanders set good examples by finding innovative ways to keep themselves busy -- but on the other, they're victims of stereotypes. And one of the main characters, Mike, isn't a very motivated student.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the power of imagination. If you lived on the island, what could you do to keep your mind occupied besides watching TV, playing video games, and surfing the Internet? How can you use your imagination to entertain yourself and others? How can imagination help you be a more productive member of society?

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 4.0

    I used to watch it every morning!!!

    Mike, Lu & Og used to be on Cartoon Network, and so when I was about five I always watched it. Then it got canceled... :( Maybe someday they'll bring it back.
