parents beware
I have become increasingly concerned about the content of Diego. i have seen many inaccuracies in the educational information portrayed. But most recently i was very disturbed by the Ana the Anaconda episode where Deigo needed to not only track an anaconda snake, but pick it up, pet it like a puppy and carry it around his neck. my 4 year old and i live in the Mohave desert, snakes are a common animal found here and it seemed irresponsible of the program to sow something that is so dangerous in real life situation. It's one thing to use imagintive play for learning in some situations, but something as dangerous as approaching a snake should never be used as a teaching tool without also including safety. 3 and 4 year olds cant tell the difference between a dangerous snake and a non-poisonous snake. i am really disappointed with this show.

Better for older toddlers
When we let my 2.5 year old son watch he wakes up in the night scared. He LOVES the show though.

My children love it.
My children are big fans of Diego and Dora. My oldest (4) loves answering the questions and jumping and walking like the animals. My youngest (2) is just now starting to understand the questions but he still loves watching the show.

Educational!
My kids love this show. My 4 year-old knows all about a ton of different animals from watching it. It really is educational!

Great for kids, catchy tunes and edutainment!
Loved it!! We're a multi cultural household, so the bilingual angle is appreciated. The boys are excited about all the animals, and after a while watching they can retain some of the details, like mimicking the noises a leopard or sloth make. The siblings working together are also great for the boys to see. Also, don't be surprised if you catch yourself humming or even singing the songs at work, or at least during your commute. (The guys at work got a good laugh seeing their apprentice plumber singing about rescuing the king whale.)

It gives me a break
My son loves Go Diego Go. He would jump on his bed screaming Go Diego Go. I have never seen him act like that over a television show. It keeps him occupied so I can get a break.

My kids love Diego!
All 3 of my kids (3,6,9) love this show! They've been eagerly awaiting its premiere, and now they're hooked. My 3yo daughter has loved Dora for most of her life, and still does, but Diego became a favorite the first time he made a guest appearance on Dora's show. The kids have learned a ton about animals already, and the information is accurate. Go, Diego, go!

More like "Die Diego Die!"
I remember watching this when it came out.Before that I saw a trailer for it.I was like "A spin-off of DORA?!?!?!" Then I saw an episode of it.It was so bad my eyes were burning! First off,the theme song is just as annoying as Dora's theme song.Even writing a review of it makes it get stuck in my head! Also,the animation and stories are boring.The voice acting is cringe worthy and that song at the end is medicore.I only gave it 2 stars because I do find it to be a bit better than Dora.But,if you are a parent,and want to let your kids see this,let me help you.All your kids will do is fall asleep when you watch.Then they will forget everything they learned from the show.Instead they will be wishing that they were in prison! Yes,it's that bad! I suggest to avoid "Go Diego Go" at all costs.

Go Diego Go has a dangerous message
It is a cute show, and does help children learn the basics of animal identification and color and pattern recognition. My daughter really loves it. However, I really don't like it's message. Animal Care and Rescue is a good thing, but Diego teaches children that wild animals are not particularly dangerous, and that it is ok to ride dangerous vehicles, without permission or supervision, as long as they think they are "rescuing" an animal.
In real life approaching a sick or hurt animal is likely to get a preschooler seriously injured if not outright killed. The same applies to jet skis, rip lines, motorcycles and such.
Although initially I enjoyed this show, the more I see, the less I like.

My 1 and 2 year olds love this show!
The kids enjoy dancing to the music and "helping" Diego save the animals. More than once they have used Spanish words to describe what they are doing when the are playing after the show (i.e. "jumping").

Good for learning about animals
My son is 5 and likes Dora and then found this show. He loves animals and this show just teaches him more. It usually leads us to discussions about animals. As an adult an 8 year old seems young to do some of the things Diego does but my son is not aware. My only wish is that he would branch out beyond his area of the world to teach about animals around the world

Great show!
My son likes this show better than Dora and I do too! There is more spanish incorporated, more action - they have the kids get up and move and lots to learn about animals, friendship and being a good citizen - Cheers for Diego!

My kids love this show!
My 5-year old son adored this show until his 2-year sister decided she wanted to watch twice a day (she's only allowed to watch 2 shows in a day). She's been doing that for about 4 months now, and shows no sign of abating. The songs are catchy, and the content unusual enough to engage me (at least the first time through).

Fun, educational program teaches preschoolers about animals
My preschooler loves animals. Every day he's learning about new animals and their behavior with Go, Diego Go! This leads to discussions, lots of questions, personal research, drawings, and acting out animals. He also picks up Spanish. I also like the Latin American influences and the fact that Diego and Alicia are such positive role models. We like this show much better than Dora the Explorer.
