What are we teaching our children?
I was very irritated when I watched an episode of this show. I cannot believe that the male main character of this series refers to the female lead, as the "hottest hottie of all hottie-dom". This is yet another example of how our patriarchal society, portrays the objectification of woman throughout the media. What are we teaching young boys who view this show? That it is acceptable to refer to a woman as a "hottie", a title that is sexual in nature, referring to a woman's body, being "hot, sexy, desirable". It absolutely disgusts me that this has been incorporated in a Disney TV show. I believe it is a disservice to our sons, and DISRESPECTFUL to our daughters.

Great movie trampled in TV transition
We were excited to hear about the new show, because we were big fans of the movie. Even my 16 year old thought this would be a great show. We gathered to watch, and were left wondering what happened. Plot is weak at best. Characters seem to be flat and uninteresting. Kronk gets a lot of air time, but isn't nearly as funny, Izma is supposed to have a significant role in the educational process, but her main contibution is to say "Wrong lever". We were let down, and don't even bother to watch now.

GREAT DISCUSSION STARTER FOR 7+
I work with troubled youth ages 4 - 9 and they really enjoy this show because they are able to learn good messages from it. I like this show because the kids i work with can be very disrespectful and all about me me me at times and this show teaches them to be respectful and that not everything is about me me me. The kids will point out how rude kuzco is and that they would never treat people that way and i use it as a great discussion starter about there own manors and how they should treat people.

Awful, Saccharin, and stupid
This show has no redeeming value whatsoever, it's commercial, unfunny, and ridiculous. There are much better things on tv on Saturday morning so I would give this a big negative.

Kuzco is a selfish brat, but they kind of show good manners on the show-which is good.
It is a good show, although Kuzco is extremely selfish, and calls Melina a 'hotty-hot-hotty' all the time. But it isn't a really bad show actually, Kuzco may be rude sometimes but he has friends and a family to help correct his ways. Sometimes it is really random, but otherwise not bad. Ezma is still up to tricks, but she doesnt really try to kill him anymore, just move him out of the way. (She usually never sucseeds) What bothers me is that a while ago they were still abrotizing about new episodes of the show even though Disney Channel knew they put the show on at like 1am!

My Grandchildren and I cuddle up and enjoy this show
All my Grandchildren and I have loved The Emperors New Groove and Kronk's New Groove from the git-go. This show is a cute spin off. It is pure entertainment. It provides a "plot" and a "conclusion" mostly about Kuzco learning something about life. I think it does have a social-moral message. The characters are loveable, and even Izma is a source of humor. The show doesn't talk up or down to children. Mine are 4 and 9, and each enjoys it equally. Nothing in it offends, and it is not boring and contrived as many of the "kid" shows are to me. Because it is a cartoon. No violence, and jokes a kid can get. I just wish they would make more episodes. And put them it out on DVD soon. They are fun.

The Emperor's New School
Sexual Content (Off): Over-the-top flirting, sometimes sexual in nature ("Feel free to touch me at any time"). A female character is referred to as a "hottie hot hottie".
Violence (Not an Issue): None.
Language (Not an Issue): None.
Social Behavior (Off): Kuzco is extremely disrespectful towards everyone, even those who go out of their way to help him (he is never punished for his behavior). He lies and cheats, and almost always gets his way.
Commercialism (Not an Issue): None.
Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Not an Issue): None.

No, No, No
The lead character is bored, unpleasant, manipulative, rude, self-centered. The attitude of the show is dismissive and lazy. Do yourself and your child a favor and just turn it off.
