I have to disagree with the common sense review's comment about Tony and Vivian - I find them not only NOT annoying, but such a great influence on my young son. They're both so sweet and fun! The show is so much more than passive entertainment. My son learns so many ideas for craft projects, songs, games, etc. from this show. Right now it's the only show he watches. I love the wholesomeness of this show - it's all positive and enriching. No "Rugrats" calling their sister "stupid" or characters hitting each other like on that awful show "Tweenies". Out of the Box is the best!
