Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the lessons learned in each episode. The themes of the program are often hard to decode for kids, but parents will be able to use them as good conversation starters. Which plane does your kid relate to the best? Do they see similarities between their own friends and Jay Jay's?

EXCEPT FOR THE ONE EPISODE WHERE JAY JAY THE JET PLANE TURNED INTO A TERRORIST!!! Yeah, Jay Jay the jet plane got wild one episode, and he crashed a huge building, acting like a suicide bomber!!!! OMG this is not what our children should be watching!!! Anyways... they took that episode off the air, so NO WORRIES now. :) Have a nice day!

Racial Stereotyping
This insipidly plotted show is mostly harmless, but I don't know why anyone would watch it or want their kids to watch it when there are much better choices. There is one thing about the show which I find to be HIGHLY OBJECTIONABLE. There are a couple of characters "of color" including a tow truck named Tuffy. Now, I'm all for ethnic diversity in children's programming, but did they have to make the one Asian character someone with extremely slanted eyes, buck teeth, and a speech impediment? I admire Tuffy's tenacious attitude, but that's almost a stereotype, too. I understand the characters are supposed to have a "retro" look to them, but Tuffy is too much! Next they'll introduce an African American vehicle that looks like Buckwheat from The Little Rascals.
