We love it -- I love hearing my four year old use the vocabulary words that she just learned from the episode later in the day!
Family friendly - not too dorky - we all enjoy it even my 13 year old.
Martha Speaks is funny but at the same time is incredibly stupid and it is just too happy. Martha even told her grandfather that she hoped he'd die. This show is very unrealistic too because there is a crazy ol' hag that needs to be put into the psycho house but instead she sounds off fake alarms in hospitals. Martha also talks due to alphabet soup going up into her brain. No offense, but wouldn't this make her, well, retarded? Bottom line, this show is harmless just very stupid. Nothing special. I wish my siblings didn't watch it as much as they do.
I love it! That Martha asks questions when she does not understand is wonderful. Children--and adults--should be encouraged to ask questions when they do not understand. Always answering the questions is good. Answering in language listeners can understand is good. The many human qualities of Martha make it easy to identify with her--happy, sad, helpful, sympathetic, inquisitive, smart, etc.
Cute show, funny, and really helps build vocabulary. My 5 year old loves it and would rank it with Arthur, Charlie and Lola, and Electric Company as her favourite shows.
The first time my younger siblings turned this show on, I got out my "Hitchhiker's Gudie To The Galaxy" series and prepared to tune out yet another annoying eduvisional program. To my surprise, Martha Speaks has charmingly quirky humor, that while won't appeal to people older then, say 11, is still tolerable and much more entertaining than most. Great for kids.
My 4 year old son loves Martha Speaks. He is learning new words and their definitions. He often explains to me, in detail, what new words he is learning mean and gives situations when you would need to use that particular word. He then tells me which episode he saw this on. This show is really helping expand his vocabulary.
I watch Martha Speaks everyday!
It's so educational and funny. My
mom loves me watching it and I
don't think it's stupid like one said.
If kids can't learn from school, at
least put it in something they'll
look at. Entertaining and educational!
This Show is very fun and educational! Even I like it! Its one of the two only shows I like that DON'T bug my parents! Next to Arthur. I'm sure that this show will help you kids a lot with words they don't understand or haven't heard of. Defiantly recommend it 5 out of 5.
