The Koala Brothers (Disney Channel)

When I first saw this show I thought it was a bit "hokey" for lack of a better word. However, my 3 year old was instantly hooked! I love the message of always helping others and my son always asks, who are Frank and Buster going to help today as soon as he sees the little Koala Brothers. He even asks how he can help me! With so many shows having questionable content (even those that are aimed to the preschool set) I find this a refreshing show. I can leave the room for a few minutes and know that he was not exposed to something that I will later regret. This show is one to turn on for the youngsters!

It may be slow with some contrived situations, but I don't notice it! I just flat out enjoy the cleanliness of the show and I REALLY enjoy listening to them.

Who says all TV has to be educational? I like to watch TV for fun sometimes, and I'm sure my daughter does, too! She likes to watch the "Koala Brudders" as she calls it, and she likes to help me, just like they help thier friends. I like the claymation, it's nice for a change.

This has rather quickly become my daughter's (3) favorite show. We like the (slow) pace of the show, as it is a bit of a relief from the ever-quickening tv programs out there right now. Also, we think it is actually quite educational. While it doesn't necessarily teach easily quantifiable skills like colors, left or right, or a new language (like Dora), it does teach some very responsible social skills. Communicating our problems, helping one another, and getting along well are the top skills it reinforces. Also, KB does a good job teaching calm problem solving and trial and error. A great example of this is the episode where Lolly's ice cream bell breaks, and they attempt to find a suitable replacement. All in all, a great show - and one that does teach some important skills, while being just plain fun.
