Not for 3 year olds
This show is probably one of the worst cartoons that I have ever seen. Why on earth would you let a 3 year old watch a show where another child is constantly starting fires and or trouble. It's obvious that Norman does not learn his lesson since he does something bad in every episode. When I was 3 I'm quite sure I did not know this much about fires. Yes a fireman (a real person) came to our school to show us what to do in the event of a fire but never have a child in a cartoon starting them. This is probably worse then Max & Ruby on Nickoldeon that I no longer allow my son to watch. Children at age 3 should be learning their ABC's not how to start fires.

My children's favorite!
My kids love Fireman Sam & play the characters for hours, zooming around saving each other.
One character (Norman Price) is constantly making bad choices & is disrespectful to his Mother, so we talk about that.

Another great PBS Sprout additon...
My son recognizes that Norman is someone whose actions should not be followed, constantly noting, :He'll never learn. Thank goodness for Sam!" The supporting characters constantly reinforce the message. The previous reviewer who stated that neither this nor "Max and Ruby" are appropriate might need to take a more active role in helping their child to identify appropriate messages...

Teaches kids to respect fire and be careful!
I disagree with another reviewer about this being inappropriate for a two year old. Each story is about the dangers of fire and the importance of being careful in many situations. Nowhere did I find an episode where the characters didn't learn a lesson, or that was presented in a manner that encouraged kids to seek out fire, rather than respect it's power. All the episodes deal with safety and I know my child knows more about firemen and safety now because of it.

Great for 3 year olds obssesed with fire fighting!
This is a very sweet cartoon on PBS with messages that aren't too heavy handed. The action is dramatic for my 3 year old but not scary. He loves the focus on the fire engine and the rescue helicopter.

Welsh fun
You can't go wrong with a Welsh show. I wonder how many fires they can have in a small town. A bit hokey, but very inoffensive.

The Only One
Fireman Sam is the only show our 2 yr old likes to watch and our 9 yr old doesn't mind watching it as well. I like the Welsh accents and "naughty Norman Price". Too bad it's now a CGI cartoon.

My Two Year Old Son Loves It!
Fireman Sam is a good role model, but there is a boy in the show who is always getting into trouble and doing things he is not supposed to. I don't like the idea that the child is setting a bad example, but then again, he is always getting into trouble and needs Sam's help, so perhaps it teaches that we ought to listen to warnings to prevent trouble. I was a little concerned if it was age appropriate for a 2 year old, which is why I came on this site. Any thoughts?
