I'm tired of so many young children's shows turning into kiddie rock concerts. Why do we put rock n roll on such a pedestal. Seems to me the message is always, if you become a rock star you will be happy. And I see this in so many different children's shows, especially this one. I believe a TV show should be a story, not loud music. I don't think children up to the age of 5 or 6 should be stimulated with superfast songs and superfast moving cartoons, and really loud yelling and shouting (even if it is happy) type of shows. They just need a simple story that they can relate to. You think they won't sit in front of the TV without those things? Of course they will!

What Parents Need to Know
About Raggs
Parents need to know that, while this show is age-appropriate for preschoolers and sometimes even educational, its lapses in logic seem to be at cross-purposes with its goal of teaching basic life lessons. Also, the characters themselves talk about wanting a future on toy store shelves, and there's a live tour associated with the series.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what the characters are trying to teach viewers in each episode. Did you understand the lesson? Kids: What's the difference between the live-action "plushie" characters and the animated version? Which do you like better? Why? Do you think the live-action characters are really playing their instruments, or just pretending?

So much fun for kids!!!
This show is such a hit with my 3.5 year old son Jack. He just gets beside himself when it's on, and I love to watch him dance around to the music. We find the show to be stimulating on a couple of levels: gets Jack physically moving around the room, helps Jack sing along and enjoy learning new verses, and is overall just fun for him to watch. I don't need Jack to learn calculus yet...he is only 3!
