We haven't really had a chance to sit and watch this one because our 3 year old was really turned off (okay, so he sort of freaked out) by the talking hands with big oogly eyes. *shrugs*
The little bit that I did get to see was 'okay' at best. Not interesting.
We watched this show with my son as one of his first shows. At first glance, we were a little put off by the hands as puppets, but our son really liked the characters and they grew on us. The show is easy to follow with 3-4 characters, simple words, short segments, and a good message. It was a great first show for us. It was the one show that really held his attention and taught good life lessons. We would often find ourselves referring to the show: "remember how Oobi went to the doctor, we're going to see the doctor today too, etc" We'll be watching again with my daughter when she starts watching tv
I have a 3-year-old, and she can't go through the day without seeing at least one Oobi episode. It's very funny and very sweet, and has a little something for everyone. The "flirting" between Grampu and Inka is especially amusing.
We all just want to know how Oobi poops? Yes, on some shows they do talk about poop. Oobi does eat and we teach our children how food digests, so how does he poop? And where does it come out?
We really like watching this show together. My husband will also pretend to be Oobi to get our daughter to finish dinner, get ready for bed etc. It's great!
Yikes! This tops the charts of horrible children's shows. Seriously..talking hands? They all have speech problems, more understandable and forgivable for children, however when the adult hands are talking like cave-men, I cannot fathom a child learning anything but cave-man language and creepy behavior.
