What parents need to know

Cute show
My 3 year old son likes this show. I think it's great that ALL types of people are given the spotlight, no matter what they do, and are are shown as contributing something inportant to society. Does anyone else think the Pizza Guy's behavior is a little strange?

Terrible DIET
I thought that the show was going to be great at first. But the longer I watched it the more I became concerned at the choice of food by the characters. All they eat are ice cream, desserts, and candy. They use sweets as a reward. We are trying to teach our child to eat healthy but a show like this does not help at all.
In today's concern about our children's health I am disappointed in this show's example.

Not for my child.
I don't like this one. The story line is good most of the time. I just don't like the fact that they ride around in each others tummies. I don't let my daughter watch it.

Very Cute !!
My 21 month old loves this show !! My 5 yr old feels like she is a little old fo rit but I thinkit's because they don't have many episodes written yet so they tend to show a lot of repeats. I love the famous actor/actresses they use for the voices!

There is nothing wrong with Oobi
I think that this is a show in which children can learn many things about the world around them, even the yougn children. My little one laughs at it...

Dumbest show ever!!!!!!!
Ugh, I hate this show! I mean, Why don't characters have feet? So weird. Why does it have good messages? I hear it has the wrong messages for kids. People just watch it because they want to be treated as idiots for the rest of their life, only an idiot watches this show! I would recommend something else like "Regular Show". Regular show is 2 times better than this show. I hate this show!

Every Day Heroes
What makes this show so good is that the heroes don't have super powers or a cape. They are everyday people. The real heroes are the people around us: firefighters, doctors, policemen.

Very educational!
This Disney Channel original is cute, funny, and educational. Children learn about the world all around them and how it takes everyone working together to make the world go round. It also teaches them to use their imagination and problem solving skills. Great show for any pre-schooler. I know mine loves it!

Not bad but could do better!
I think the program is good - my 4 year old loves it, but I do have an issue with the Pizza Man and the Hot Dog Man - we're supposed to be educating our kids to eat healthily, not celebrate with a great big pizza or hot dog. I think the way to educate kids is to get them young and show them correctly from day 1.

This teaches horrible lessons
I watched a few shows, and they were redefining terms. Everyone was a hero. The mail main, the pizza guy were all heros. To quote the bad guy in Incredibles, when everyone is a hero, no one will be.
Part of the post modern/relitivism garbage.

They are a good bunch of kids that do kid stuff and find out that there are people trained to do just about anything they can think of. My daughter really enjoys this show and is thinking about what she wants to be when she grows up. That's good.

Fun Even for Parents
I love this show and so do my three and five-year-old daughters. It's really quirky and cute. I love that the pizza guy is their friend and randomly shows up. It's nice that the "heroes" are just regular people in their town who do things to help others. As a parent, there are a lot of kid shows I can't stand to have on in my home, but this one I actually enjoy watching with my kids.

This show is RETARTED
This show is about four kids and a grown up canadian squirell, and how they have fun but always run into a situation, where the kids freak out like it will never be solved. They sing a retarted song which summons a worker who fits what needs to be done. Before that, the only girl character: twinkle comes up with a dumb idea that the others clap at but the squirell character(fran) has enough sense to point out the problem which is the whole thing. The kids always need a hero to do the work instsead of trying to fix it themselves which might cause kids to become over-dependant. This is ok for kids like 2- since they have no problems to deal with.

Teaches kids dumb lessons.
Okay,so I know it's called HigglyTown Heroes.But instead the main characters(4 kids and 1 squirrel)are the ones who REALLY made the mess and plus,they don't help anyway.Like in 1 ep Fran the squirrel ate the 13th pie(Which is needed for 12-Pie Abe to juggle so he can beat his world record)just because she's hungry.See,this show teaches kids on making a mess.THE WORST SHOW ON DISNEY EVER!

Good for the little ones.
Well it is a little weird but I think it's really friendly and a little cute. I watched this when I was little but I wasn't a fan of it but yeah I like it. It would be good for kids 3-7and a half. This Disney Channel original is cute, funny, and educational. Children learn about the world all around them and how it takes everyone working together to make the world go round. It also teaches them to use their imagination and problem solving skills. Great show for any pre-schooler. but I do have an issue with the Pizza Man and the Hot Dog Man - we're supposed to be educating our kids to eat healthily, not celebrate with a great big pizza or hot dog. I think the way to educate kids is to get them young and show them correctly from day 1. I think it's great that ALL types of people are given the spotlight, no matter what they do, and are are shown as contributing something inportant to society. Does anyone else think the Pizza Guy's behavior is a little strange? I like the Canadian Squirrel, I forgot what his/her name is because It has been years since I have seen this show so I don't remember much from it but I reccomend this for preschoolers. Babies in Daycare won't get it but whatever. Educational
