This show is really annoying, and when reading the review about it, i see what they mean! I have a 5 year old at home, just turned 5, And she LOVES dora, She is constantly Repeating her self. More than any usual 5 year old. Its momma, momma, momma, MOMMA!!! (because dora tells you to "YELL LOUDER") Also not a good show, because my dad is a 3rd shifter and dora not only encourages you to yell louder but to stand up and jump up and down, This is in the Daily Programming!

this show stinks. the barrage of products that follows it baffle me, as the show has horribly lame stories (even for the youngest ages), and my 3-yr-old finds it boring. The talking-at-the-screen doesn't make my child respond, and the random espanol-dropping doesn't make this bad lip-synch animation educational--it is simply aimed to trick parents into believing it is. don't waste your "two hours or less per day" of viewing time on this unimaginative and boring show. Watch something with creativity, imagination, and great music, like the Backyardigans.

I am here to defend Dora the Explorer. She is very educational. This show teaches problem solving, shapes, letters, numbers and some Spanish. If you do not live in a Hispanic populated area, you may be blind to see that learning Spanish is a great resource for children. If you think she is mean and yells at people or is into paganism, give me a break! I think that the cartoons we were all raised on, like Bugs Bunny, My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake were more violent and were more involved into paganism than Dora ever could live up to. I do think Dora is a great show and I do let my children watch it. What harm could it do? Oh no! My child wants to make believe and she wants to be a princess or she might pick up some Spanish. The world is not going to end if you let your child watch Dora the Explorer.

I don't like Dora the explorer because when she speaks in spanish she doesn't use the correct idioms of the spanish language. I am a native spanish speaker and every time I hear Dora I can't believe how bad her idioms are. They really need to work on the language in that cartoon. It seems they've used an automatic translator for the parts in spanish. It's a shame that they ruine the spanish language like that. I really think Dora is bad even for spanish speakers, it confuses the kids and then they make mistakes in their own language because they get confuse after hearing Dora mal using the language, teh incorrect idimos sound correct to them.

Wow if you haven't realized young tweens on here that Dora is for preschoolers so in the end it doesn't really matter what you say, as long as they like the show. Really the hit thing with Dora is she's bilingual and opens kids up to other cultures, much interaction with the audience as well as adventures to overcome with Boots and learning Spanish along the way.

educational but Dora isnt smart! "She say were the apple tree"? and then she goes silent and it's right behind her the whole time! plus here stupid backpack keeps on singing this "backpack, backpack, backpack,backpack"! It drives me crazy! I would rather get detention then watch this show!

Dora can speak Spanish and English. I can't even speak English proplerly. Just Kiiding. Kids love this show and the only reason adults and teens don't is because they can't have a little fun. Dora is very nice and teaches a little Spanish. She has the kids help her stop swiper and other things. If you or your little brothers and sisters like Dora then you sholud watch Go Diego Go!

I'm really saddened by all of the hatred out there for Dora. Granted, I do not LOVE her....but my (just turned) 2 year old LOVES her and it has helped with her vocabulary, memory and she has a good time watching it. She can name all of the characters and her vocabulary has blossomed! Why all the hate? And seriously.....stop talking about anything being bad about her shirt being a bit too small.....do you people NOT understand children. I am a preschool teacher....I know them VERY well! She is a little girl with a huge imagination!

ok listen here to all the parents that dont think that it is not good. well i can tell you that it might get all little anoying sometimes but my daughter loves it and if you dont like then. Dont watch it. so dont be argumentative that it is not good because you know that it is good. you just dont like to let your children learn. they can learn spanish now so they wont have to learn it in high school. cause they are going to have to.
