my toddler absolutely LOVES the boohbah web site - great sites and sounds for a little one. but i have little positive to say for the show itself. too bad!
I know, the intention are good. But what adult more less child would understand without ready. It mesmerized my 18 month old which I think is scarey. She laughes, but she isn't learning anything. I was pro teletubbies, I thought they were cute and you learned. But these things are just plain freaky. My mother hate there "energy pods" saying they look like aliens.
Pointless. If anything, this show will scare your toddlers.
Actually I had a nightmare after watching this show. The boohbahs all had pitchforks and they rose up in an angry mob and overtook the world (in my dream, of course). The show is weird, and very poorly done. Sometimes they use real kids, in which case you will be able to see the Green Screen line around them due to the poor Alpha Keying effects. My advice: instead of letting your kids watch a pointless and sometimes creepy show like this, go get some education out of TV time and watch something like Blues Clues or Dora. Of course I hate all baby shows cause im 14 but your kids will like the Nick Junior content a lot better. Ditch PBS.
This show has absolutely no point. They say it is to get kids up and moving, but the only thing this show made my son do is sit on the couch with his eyes glazed over. Seriously, this show is dumb, the boobah things, the little skits they do with absolutely NO point, and the little farting noises the boobahs make? Come on.
Although I prefer to watch what my son is watching - I do have a tough time watching this. But it seems right for kids up to 2. Repetition and predictability in a tv show is really good for kids this age. Like how Blue's Clue's has becomes - very predictable. My son likes to hear the laughing, noises adn the boobah's 'dancing'. Freaks me out, but I do believe this is good for creativity, art, imagination - getting those synapses firing. Not all show have to be entertaining to us.
I was raised on Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, Electric Company, and Zoom. PBS has always been #1 in my book for children's programming; however, this is absolute junk! Shame on PBS for this one. I think whoever created this is definitely on something.
