Lives in FloridaI rate this title on for age 7 and give itGreat Show
Lives in MassachusettsI rate this title on for age 5 and give itLOVE IT!!!!!
I'm glad that they're putting it back on-air because I'm going to middle school next year I'm in 4th grade but people are moving us up a year early so it would be helpful to watch over the summer not just for people moving to middle school for all school kids.It is entertaining yet informational.I think this is good for 5+ especially because I was 6 when I started watching,before I entered 1st grade P.S. I watched it ON Demand(that's also how I see commonsensemedia videos)at 6am on my first day of Elementary School(2005)

I LOVE IT! Why did they have to cancel it :(
ok so i am going to high school this fall, this show was my FAVORITE to watch in junior high!! when i first saw a commercial for this i thought it was stupid, but then i watched it and i fell IN LOVE with it!! i watched it so much i pretty much know each episode word-for-word. im glad they r showing it again after being cancelled and not shown on nickelodeon for a year, i still watch it every time i get the chance, and i still laugh. ned is a great character and he's not perfect which makes me love this show even more. i hope they make sumthing for high school i would DEFINITELY watch it! this show is great for kids 11+

YU ARE MORONS! This show was funny, it desevred it's four stars, but NO ONE CAN WATCH IT BECAUSE IT WAS CANNED! (AND I STILL HATE YU FOR CANCELING ZIM!!!!)
