Sheriff Labrador
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
SHERIFF LABRADOR is a dog police officer in Forest Town. He protects the city alongside his partner, Officer Dobermann. If there's a heist, a fire, or a mystery, Sheriff Labrador is on the job! With bravery and strong morals, he saves the day and teaches viewers safety lessons.
Is It Any Good?
The series has good intentions but struggles with execution and finding its audience. Sheriff Labrador mixes episodes about letter recognition, which is more appropriate for toddlers, with safety tips designed for elementary-aged students. While young kids may find Sheriff Labrador funny and engaging because of its slapstick comedy, bright colors and fast pace, the storylines are more appropriate for older audiences.
