Boring!
I love seeing the animals, but the show is for younger viewers. The animals are not worth it.

This is a good show that teachs kids about different animals. The show is about the Kratt brothers, Martin and Chris, who are friends with a leemur named Zoboo. In every episode, Martin, Chris and Zoboo find an animal and they start learning about it. It's kind of like Animal Planet for prescooler's except it has a talking animal in it. And it doesn't show violent animal behavior, so it's safe for kids.

I think its cute when its in the live action parts, and I like their little greenhouse and it teaches really neat facts, the one thing I hate is when they do those clay images of the animals, like the anteater.. he doesn't look like he has eyes at all, otherwise I love it.

So u know, I am just PikachuLover121 with a diff username, cuz I forgot my PW, :(. Before we got cable, we just had PBS, Fox, and WB Kids. Besides Pokemon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh I don't like anime so the only channel I wanted to watch was PBS. I remember watching Sesame Street, Zoboomafoo, The Big Comfy Couch, Jay-Jay The Jetplane, Between The Lions, Dragontales, and Cyberchase on PBS. But, the one I will focus on for now, is Zoboomafoo. I had watched it once and it had something like a platypus on it (Maybe it wasn't a platypus, but some animal was making a teeth grinding noise). After watching it, I asked my mom if I could have a couple of pork rinds (She thinks their gross but I love 'em, :D) and she said "no" and did the teeth noise and she said "NO! DO NOT DO THAT THAT IS BAD FOR YOUR TEETH!" I had done the noise ever since and I called it a "teeth scratch". I always have done a noise called a "swallow" that is a big gulp, anyway back to Zoboo. A week later I watched it and I had gotten put in my room for saying something sassy and when I had gotten out I was crying about the "Zoboomafoo" theme song because I didn't have any animals friends like Zoboo. I did have some dogs and cats, but not wild animal friends. Then at dinner I asked my parents if I could have a lemur for a pet and she said that that is illegal and I cried again. That afternoon we looked for a birthday party theme, u know because my birthday was coming up. And I was thinking about the "lemur" thing again and cried. VERY GREAT SHOW! but that really did happen, no joke, :(.

I LOVED this show when I was seven and the theme song still makes me LOL, :). But one morning, I woke up and watched the show, later, I was crying saying that the theme song was sad cuz I didn't have any animal friends. Later that day, when my mom and dad were making dinner, I asked them if I could have a lemur for a pet. They said no and I started crying again. Great show, except that really did happen to me, :(.

How could someone hate this show?
Only psychos could say anything bad about this show, like Little Bill. Anything bad that could possibly happen is erased and turned into good stuff. This is the best show on PBS Kids, far better than Ni-Hao Ki-Lan and *shudder* the Cat in the Hat knows a lot about that. Like Little Bill is the best show on Nick Jr / Noggin.
