What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about safety. What are some of the ways kids get hurt? How can you avoid them yourself? Why is it so important to listen to parents when they tell you things to keep you safe? What part do the Danger Rangers play in keeping their fellow citizens safe?

What's the story?

What's the story?
DANGER RANGERS follows the adventures of furry friends Sully (voiced by Jerry Houser), Burble (Kevin Michael Richardson), Burt (Mark Hamill), Kitty (Grey DeLisle), Gabriela (Tasia Valenza), Squeeky (Rob Paulsen), and Fallbot (John Kassir) as they help their fellow citizens learn to think and play safely. Whether they're putting out a fire or swimming to someone's rescue, parents can be reassured that the DR crew will both entertain and educate young viewers.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
One of the best things about Danger Rangers is that any kid can be "Danger Ranger Ready," since there are enough male and female characters to attract both boys and girls. Also, there's plenty of action to engage even the busiest kids, and the musical numbers will connect with any kid who loves to sing and dance.

Even more importantly, the show's essential messages are delivered clearly, without any scariness. In each episode, kids learn vital lessons about key safety issues -- from how to prevent a fire to how to play safe by the pool -- in a fun, upbeat way that isn't likely to upset them.

I Highly Recommend this Show for ALL AGES 3+.
Danger Rangers is a Great Show because, it's Rich, Highly Educational & Great Role Models. It teaches Children about Safety. I Highly Recommend this show for All Ages not just the very young. I'm so glad they brought back Dangers Rangers it's on CBS every Saturday at 12:00pm Noon. I Highly Recommend that PBS Should bring Back Danger Rangers & It should be on everyday on PBS & PBS is my Favorite Channel. I watch it every Saturday. I wish I could watch this show everyday!

Finally!!!
Danger Rangers can't be a preschooler show, why air it on PBS, when it can be aired on Nickelodeon and/or Cartoon Network (which needs REAL preschooler shows) instead. Nick and CN might need something like this in their lineup. Anyways, this show is very good to watch. Other neat shows on PBS include Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Sesame Street, ZOOM, Reading Rainbow, Thomas & Friends, Barney, Big Comfy Couch, Arthur, Teletubbies, Dragon Tales, Zoboomafoo, Between the Lions, Clifford, Cyberchase, Caillou, Sagwa, Angelina Ballerina, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, Boohbah, Berestain Bears, Clifford's Puppy Days, Jakers!, Dragonfly TV, My Bedbugs, Maya & Miguel, Postcards from Buster, Ribert & Robert's Wonderworld, Zula Patrol, Mustard Pancakes, Make Way For Noddy, It's a Big Big World, FETCH!, Auto B Good, Nanalan', Franny's Feet, Curious George, Sheira & Loli's Dittydoodle Works, SeeMore's Playhouse, and Saddle Club.

Heh, heh.
Great for smaller kids. Strangely entertaining for teens. o_o I gave this a 3 obviously because this is not directed toward teens.

 
Good for Kids- cloying for Unfortunate Adults
Mesaages about safety hammered home time and time again. My 4 year old sone LOVES this show. The series is good for instruction, but lacks any and all spirit of creativity. The songs about safety all sound the same, and are (mercifully) forgetable. More a PSA than a series.

 
Cleverly adorable!
I love this show! I catch it when babysitting for a little girl, 4 years old, and I can't help but laugh too. It's witty, adventurous and educational. We sing the songs from the shows all the time, and she remembers how to be safe. This is a great show; I love it!
