    My son is 21 months and loves this show. He cannot say much yet but when he does he talks about the bear!

    Big Brother is watching everything on Agent Oso

    It annoys me that every time Oso falls down or has some other type of accident, he laughs it off by saying "It's all part of the plan." I also think it sends the wrong message to children when some sort of "spy" can see the child in the cartoon and then report video via satellite to Oso and his fellow spies. Even though they are helping the child, it seems like "big brother is watching" every child and can video you everywhere on the planet and transmit the images globally. Not a good message for children! It's also annoying when Paw-Pilot only gives a few seconds to finish a task, yet the countdown lasts much longer than the actual time being counted down.

    Great Superhero for preschoolers/elementary kids

    The music can get annoying, but its nice to have a kid friendly superhero show that's not showing skin and violence! My 6yr. old loves it and never misses it and my 2yr. old likes it too.

    Great task oriented show -makes em think!

    Kids 2 and 4 used to watch Mickey Mouse Funhouse, but now love Oso. Crisp graphics and detailed backgrounds...great 3-Step task oriented show. Also kudos for showing children with handicaps!! Great show.

    my boys really like it, 2.5 and 5.5 yrs old

    seems like a good show, boys like it, the older one responds back to it and shows how to easily do things and help out.

    My son loves OSO!

    The show was developed to help kids do common tasks in three simple steps and that is exactly what it does. My son recites the steps as he is brushing his teeth by himself.

    My kids loved the fun-loving Oso!

    My 3 and 5 year olds boys were eager to watch this show from all the advertising on the Disney channel before its opening. I thought my older son might think it was too babyish since the things Oso helps with are so basic, i.e. brushing teeth, delivering a letter, but I was wrong! Both boys love the spy gear and tricks Oso can do to help solve the shows' dilemnas. This is really a great educational show!

    Oso website

    This isn't a review of the show, more of a question about the website--what do you think about the aggressive nature of the marketing for this show? Whenever my child goes to Disney Playhouse to play games, he's hit with this audio and video telling him to register to get a phone call from Oso. The registration process asks for a fair amount of personal information from the parents. Why do they need this information -- so my child can get a call from Oso (they include audio of a sample call, just to get your child further worked up about wanting this registration to happen) or so another advertiser can have access to my personal information? I was really turned off by the whole thing. We tell our kids not to give any personal information online, to not sign up for contests and prizes -- and here's Disney doing just that. So what is a careful parent supposed to do?

    Fun for preschoolers

    Sometimes its annoying, but what do you expect? It's a little kids show.

    Not good for 2-5

    I give it these because Paw-Pilot does incorrect timing, which lead bad math skills, she contacts Oso during training and makes him fall, and Oso buys stuff without paying.

    I love oso oso much, but..........

    Special agent oso is awesome and is my favorite TV show, but don't take this personally.......... HE'S NOT A PANDA! IT SAYS IN THE THEME SONG THAT HE IS OFFICIALLY A BEAR. That is all.

    Agent Oso Teaches About Hurting your enemys

    When I first layed my eyes opon this beatiful master piece (At least I thought) that Disney had made, I had high hopes. Unfortanetly, Ojo is a violent serial killer which doesn't relate anything at all to the character traits on the commercial. Ojo has a sturdy 4x4 Steel rod which he stabs through enemys. He is taught to stab it through the stomach, where the heart is. You can see blood and heart organs all over the floor when Ojo assainates an enemy. The basic concept of this following show is basicly, well Ojo is a wanna-be serial killer assassin, and he want's some help how to become better at killing so, from the help from a head killer bear on the FBIS Top 100 most wanted, he'll help Ojo become the best criminal the world has ever seen. Don't listen to the soft commercials folks and parents out there! Secret Agent Ojo is a pile of blood and killing.
