Positive messgaes, role models, violence,product placement,-Penguins of Madagascar
This is really a TV show that stood out to me since there was great use of teamwork and communication. If only that lemur-like character was in this show. He constantly teaches selfishness, 'late-night parties', and being annoying. The show overall advertises the Madagascar line of products. The bad thing about the penguins is that they always approve violence and some of them are completely different; one is overly intelligent, one was is extremely violent and 'coughs off bombs', one was is babyish and likes 'ponies and rainbows', and one is the leader. It gives different perspectives. All of the positive messages are literally crammed into the last seconds of the episode program.

Takes the tween side of Nick out
Nickelodeon was channel for Tweens. Nick Jr. Is for five year olds. I really wish there was a petition to take it off. Or at least move it to Disney where it's meant for five year olds I got a little sad watching this, I really miss shows like Rocco's Modern life and Invader Zim. They may have some of the old shows on Nicktoons but I want people who aren't able to afford Satellite and only have Cable. Please Nick, take it off television.

Best show ever!
This is a really good show! This is actually(in my opinion) the show that makes Nick so awesome. The other shows just aren’t as good as they used to be like Spongebob and iCarly. Spongebob's jokes just aren’t funny and iCarly is just too weird to watch and is too girly(even though I am a girl). The Penguins of Madagascar is the funniest show on TV, it will leave you laughing with tears rolling down your cheeks. The show has helped me expand my vocabulary extremely and the lessons they give are helpful. The only good role model in the show is Private, everyone else are kind of neutral. The whole family will love this show!

This show is great. I love how Skipper will turn everything into a covert operation. And how Rico is always like KABOOM! and can hack up anything the team will need

This is coming from someone whose favourite animals are penguins. o_o
The movie Madagascar was fine, but this series is just... stupid, if you ask me. Whenever this is on I immediatedly turn the channel because it doesn't interest me at all-- it's not funny in the least, and it's just boring. Something I definitely would not have enjoyed as a kid, much less now.

Terrific!!
I absolutly adore this show! I've seen the Madagascar movies and am so happy that the penguins have their own series. The plots are terrific, the jokes are hilarious, it's all around perfect! There's nothing else i can say!

Best show on Nick
One reason I love this show is that its humor is simply a refreshing break from all the stereotypical humor possessed by most other Nick shows. Yes, it's cute too.

Excellent
I really do Love this show! I think it shows children that you can rely on friends even in the worst of times, teamwork examples are excellent, and teaches kids to do the best you can do.

Funny Madagascar Spinoff
This show was also produced by Nicoloden (I don't know how to spell it), so I didn't know how good the series was going to be. It's a nice show, it's not that good but it's better than I thought it would be. The penguins get into mischief, so the violence is just slapstick stuff. If you haven't seen Madagascar already, you probably should before you see this (that and because the movie is funny :D). Written on 9/11/11

The Penguins of Madagascar
This is one of my favorite shows! I love The Penguins of Madagascar. THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!! The new shows on nick are bad sort of but this one is good. In a few episodes Skipper and King Julien said "Booty" which I don't find a bad word. I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!! KEEP IT ON NICK AS LONG AS YOU WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!
