Save-Ums (Discovery Kids)
common sense media says
Harmless but noisy attempt to boost self-esteem.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the lessons in this show are over-simplified and repeated to the point that even small children (who are comforted by the familiar) will find them tiresome. The animation is hard to look at, with lurid colors and clashing backgrounds, and the stories are right on the edge of condescending. There's nothing offensive about the show, but your kids could find many better ways to spend their time.

As Said, the Save-Ums are Great!!!
HOLY MOTHER OF CRUD!!! BEST SHOW EVER (on the Ready Set Learn block on Discovery Kids and TLC that is)!!! Are you mad? I LOVE the Save-Ums (along with Franny's Feet, Toddworld, Peep and the Big Wide World, Ren and Stimpy, Squirrel Boy, Where My Dogs At?, etc.)!!! I LOVE the 3D animation, the plots, and the characters (especially Foo) in this show. My favorite character in the show is Foo. Why? Foo always gives good pep talks, she's cute (not as cute as Kirby (from Kirby's Dream Land) and Franny (from Franny's Feet) hate to say it), and she's also one of smartest cartoon characters I met in my life. SAVE-UMS RULES!!! P.S.: Small is powerful, believe it!

I LOVED this show when I was a little kid, but there is one episode that was kind of edgy. It was were these three Save-Um's were on a mountain and were helping a female monkey character. One Save-Um told the monkey to lick her fingers and she said to how about my toe. That is a little bit too gross for a kid's show, but I still decided to watch it!

What's not to like?
Problem solving (often in creative ways) and a message of "small is powerful" -- it's good stuff.

Save me from this excruciating excuse for a TV show!
I've gave this show a chance a few years back and watched a few episodes. I can honestly say it's just another cheesy infant's show. Don't even bother watching it. This makes the Wonder Pets look like Shakespeare.

A good show for youths but not for others!
I think it is a good show for little kids. But I think it is just plain dumb for older kids. This show is more for kids ages 4-6. Anyone older than that might find it dumb.
