The characters whine regularly. I can't stand pig, he is such a wimp.

super why is a terrible show
this show is stupid. The plot cosists of deconstructing common stories till they make no sense. for instance they might make hupty dumpty easy to put back togrether again, or change the big bad wolf into a teacher or librarian. Alpha pig's symbol is the greek letter delta. They never go t o a library, they go to a "book club" thank you barnes and noble!

Not recommended for kids of any age under 8
My two year old daughter cried the first time she saw Super Why because they were ruining all of her favorite stories. I for one do not think it is teaching the children nothing but if something isn't going the way you want, you can change it even if it's messing things up for other people. I do not recommend Super Why.

Best show for pre-K and up!
My 4.5 year old son in in LOVE with his program. I like it because there are no commercials (PBS program), it's fun and educational. The characters are 4 kids - 2 boys and 2 girls who turn into reading superheroes. They are presented with "a problem" and they solve with with the help of a storybook. There are simple phonics activities that are suitable for a young child, like sing the alphabet song and more complicated ones with rhyming, reading words, changing words, spelling, phonics.

Edutainment!
Like it, good for PBS, really good, actually. We're using it to introduce phonics to our older one, and getting the little one to vocalise sounds.

Awesome for Pre-K students
My son is 4 and he loves this show. I love it too. It is educational and fun. He likes following the story and learning to read. His 2 year old baby sister enjoys it too. :-)

Cute and VERY Educational
When we first tried this show (at the recommendation of the kids' daycare provider), I thought it was darling, and I was pushing for the kids to watch it constantly. I'll admit to being a little bored with it now (and I think the kids feel the same), but I still think it's a very good show that teaches kids a LOT. I love that it's so educational. The characters are cute and all, but I'm most impressed by the wealth of education and even life lessons it puts out. With everything from letters, to spelling, to phonics, to plain ole good values ("Tell the truth")--this show is one of the best I've seen, education-wise. It beautifully reinforced what my daughter was learning in daycare. It can be a bit on the boring side, but the characters are very cute, and the education can't be beat. I definitely recommend to ALL small children.

Very Fun!
My boys (ages 2 & 3) can sing the theme song not only for the show. After months of teaching my 3 yr old letter recognition with little luck, we stumbled on to this show one morning and within the week he was able to recognize all of his letters. It has also helped my 2 yr old say the alphabet that includes all of the letters and not slurring past the letters that he doesn't know. He is already starting to recognize some of his letters.

Teaching My Two Year Old To Read
I really love this show. My two year old son is obssessed with letters and so I've searched for age appropriate shows that he can enjoy, which aren't too advanced, but will hold his interest. Beyoned the really good basic grounding he's getting in phonics from this (he now goes around sounding out letters and can 'read' recognize six or seven sight words, it allows him to use his imagination. He runs around the house yelling "To the bookclub" and engages in a lot of other imaginative play along with it. There are a couple of other pre-school phonic shows that we watch, but this one is by far the best in my opinion because it allows him to use his imagination and join in the spelling fun.

Super Why is Awesome!!!
I have a 10 month old who really loves to watch this program. He actually sits still for the 30 minutes and talks to the TV. This is a great program to help a child with their reading, spelling and ABC's.

It's a show that I even enjoy watching with my Son.
My son loves Super Why. Word World and Backyardigans used to be his favorite until we came across Super Why one day. It is very interactive with the alphabet. spelling words teaching the letters and how to change letters to make new words. My son who was 1 1/2 years old at the time knew by recognition the alphabet but was unable to say them in order. Within a week of watching Super why he was rattling it off constantly.

Finally a show that has it all!!!
My 19-month old son loves Super Why!! He dances to the theme song and is so amazed and glued to the TV throughout the entire show. We watch it together,I help him find the clues, spell words and read. For us it helps to reinforce the importance of reading and learning.We even have made up a fun name for him(that I say of course, for now) when we are clue to add his name. It is a GREAT educational program for all young children. Furthermore, it is very cultrally sentisitve; there is representation of all races that our children form many backgrounds can identify with.

Love it...
My 2 year old daughter and I love it! She thinks it is very cool when "Mommy" says the answers. She watches this show sooo intently trying to "learn" just like "Mommy". I enjoy sharing special things with her and this is one of them.
