All member reviews for Max and Ruby

obnoxious and pointless
This show is truly obnoxious. My husband and I can't stand it. Every episode is exactly the same, with Ruby ignoring Max and whatever he is trying to communicate, while she does whatever it is she is trying to do with her equally annoying and dismissive friend Francine. It's no wonder that Max has no manners and is completely obnoxious, since there are no parents in this show (with the exception of an occasional cameo from Grandma) and Max is left day in and day out with Ruby.

Great show for the preschool set
We love this show! Max and Ruby have a great relationship. Ruby can be a little bossy, and what older sister isn't? She is always patient with Max even though she often doesn't understand what he is trying to do. My daughter loves how mischievous Max is and finds him very funny. While I have noticed the parents are not in this show, they are in a family picture that is sometimes in the background, so they do exist. I think the show's focus is more on the sibling relationship. I think people are a little too concerned about it. It's a cartoon with talking bunnies... it doesn't have to completely follow reality.

max and ruby are orphans
Where are their parents? Max is ADHD and gets in Ruby's way. Why is the grandmother always asking Ruby to bake for her? Poor Ruby whom is still a child is raising Max on her own. Stop runnng the show.

Not a good example setter
Though my kids enjoy this show, I find it annoying and I don't like the message it sends across. Ruby is supposed to be max's older sister, but she is clearly the one in charge of him as there are no parents in the picture (which I find somewhat disturbing because I would guess ruby is supposed to be around 7 or 8 years old). The whole show is based around max disobeying ruby as he attempts to communicate to her what he wants. Then it always ends with max ironically getting his way. The only reason I occasionally allow this show I. The house is because I use it as an example of how max is being naughty by disobeying ruby and how he could get hurt by not listening. Now at least my kids see that max disobeys ruby a lot and that is bad.

Not a good show
I think the show is adorible, but it does have falts. Like that Ruby is the big sister, but she is like the mother of Max, when she is only like 7. Their house is always a mess, and the end of every show Max makes Ruby look stupid. Example Max smased a bunch of cookies that Ruby was selling, and she very upset, but when they sold the cookies the woman was acctualy HAPPY that the cookies were smashed and praised Max. Max is always dirty. Ruby takes HUGE responobility for Max that she oviosly can't handle because of Max will grow up spiled and ill manered. Don't watch this!!!!

Max & Ruby is an educational show for preschoolers, but there is a bad side. Ruby is a 7-year-old who takes care of 3-or-2-year-old Max. There are no parents in any episodes, and the grandma is not always in the episodes. Max only says one word in the whole episode.

Boring but sweet
It is pretty boring but the characters are sweet. My 2 year-old really likes it.

I think Max is a brat who often disobeys his sister, and sometimes wanders off on his own - not a good role model, in my opinion. After watching one episode, my 2 1/2 year old walked around in a monosyllabic trance for the rest of the night, saying "popsicle" over and over imitating Max. It was very annoying. Just like the show. itself.

good but
all that concerns me is some people agree with me that ruby isnt the best to watch on max.She can be mean to him or leave him alone one episode has her on the phone with a friend and trying to keep him away but all in all kids 3 -5 will like it I did when I was young.

Cute show about cute bunnies
My son has been watching Max & Ruby for a few months now and he loves it! I think the show is adorable however, I do sometimes wonder how long will it take for my son to catch on that there is no mommy or daddy bunny around! Lol. Max can be a little bit of a troublemaker at times, but everything turns out for the best in the end...not likely in real life, but still cute for the show.

Where are the parents?
Good show for preschoolers. It teaches kids manners and helps kids express themselves through different things. Its also educational. What I find bizarre is that there are no parents (besides their grandmother that lives down the street. Ruby cares and protects Max and helps him do the right thing, but it would help if they actually had parents.

Cute!
Its adorable, and I actually loved it when I was younger. Max also has very neat toys! Although, I have a few questions: Where on earth are their parents? Obviously the sister still isn't quite old enough to watch her little brother, consittering she plays with dolls and leaves him alone quite a lot. Two: Ruby leaves him alone a LOT, usually giving him a chance to cause mistive, and she constantly corrects him and tells him to keep it down (though she isn't rude about it) I always question her motives. Three: Ruby always, ALWAYS assumes she is right. Thats about it, but I still recomend it, its intertaning for children, I enjoyed it, now of course I do not watch it because: I am 14, so.. I really do not find it as intertaning, and I am usually at school anyways, though I'd much rather watch this show than go to school. Anyway.. your children my or may not like it, check it out!

I think it is a *good* show for my 2yo. It helps children to solve problems on their own...it also shows older children 5+ how to be patient with their toddler siblings. Not great...but not bad either

Parents Hate Baby Shows
Why Do Parents Hate Baby Shows?I Know It's Because They Don't Enjoy What Their Young Kids Are Watching
