My Niece's are enjoying the show and sing along with the songs which remind us to stay away from unknown liquids and sharp objects. It is nice that the show is getting through to at least a 4 year old.

What Parents Need to Know
About SeeMore's Playhouse
Parents need to know that this show combines animation, puppetry, and music to teach preschoolers the basics of safety and wellness. It has sing-along songs, soft visuals, funny storylines, and cuddly animal characters who talk to one another about being safe in the water, on a bicycle, and even when playing hide and seek. Preschoolers will be interested, but 5- to 6-year-olds may find the program too young for their taste.

Great show - My kids love it!
SeeMore's Playhouse is a great show - my children love it and already know the songs. My son has even embrased washing his hands which was a daily battle until now. Despite what I suspect is the same person posing as several people posting poor reviews, I say tune in for yourself. The show is adorable and worthwhile.

It's OK
A well-intentioned program, obviously researched well, but for the most part, with just inexperienced actors (puppetiers). some of the issues seem to be geared toward older children, which is great, but most of the puppets speak way to baby-ish to hold the attention of an older child.

Ok, so here's what I think...
My kid (5 yrs.) did not sit through the whole show, though she did enjoy the music videos. Like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, not all of the vocals are very engaging. Luckily, a couple of characters save the others' sour notes. The show seems promising, but we really should have higher standards. We can criticize the writing, sure...but, I think that some episodes did well with writing safety issues into the storylines. There have been many great characters/actors that can save bad writing...perhaps some of the voice performers or puppet people can raise the stakes?
