It isnt just a kid show. It teaches about everything. Some kids stuff, like sharing and friends (not really good) but it mostly teaches maturity.

My Daughter misses the show and keeps asking me why it isn't on anymore.
They maybe annoying to most parents, but they aren't for the children. That is why it is a children's show. They keep the children entertained so parents can get things done around the house. There is no profanity, sex, language so parents don't have to worry what their children are doing while watching the show. Parents know that they are okay. It does stretch my children imagination a lot though and that can be overwhelming. Please put them back on TV for THE CHILDREN.

We Love OOTB!
I have to disagree with the common sense review's comment about Tony and Vivian - I find them not only NOT annoying, but such a great influence on my young son. They're both so sweet and fun! The show is so much more than passive entertainment. My son learns so many ideas for craft projects, songs, games, etc. from this show. Right now it's the only show he watches. I love the wholesomeness of this show - it's all positive and enriching. No "Rugrats" calling their sister "stupid" or characters hitting each other like on that awful show "Tweenies". Out of the Box is the best!
