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.

Too Sugary!
I don't like to pick on a show that's designed for toddlers, especially when I know that the creator was inspired by his little boys love of aviation. However, this is too sugary sweet and the voices of the planes for the most part, simply over the top. Toddlers don't need such a heavy dose of syrup! The themes are alright but the production misses the mark in my estimation. There are much better shows for this age group out there.
