It's a great show but with some flirting parts. (EW!)

I watched TTAF at age 4 "I didn't really recognize what the show was all about." But I watched it again 1 year after the finale. I feel the way y'all don't have any more episodes but it's okay. In some parts, I see Angela and Tom flirting, which I nearly HATE. (I ALMOST BARFED WHEN THEY KISSED ON THE LIPS!) But outside that, it has great humor and great messages to encourage children. Like in S1E014 titled "Think Hank" it teaches you to take good care of someone. DEFINITELY BEST SHOW EVER! Thank you TTAF! (Out of the flirting part.)

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (15 ):
Kids say (31 ):

Talking Tom and his cohorts have entertained many a kid by way of interactive apps in which the characters repeat a modification of what users say into their devices. Just as there's little depth to the virtual activity, there's not much below the surface of this series, but that certainly won't be a deterrent for kids who want to watch. Those who do will enjoy seeing Tom and his friends interact, and, with so many personalities, there are plenty of moments that will get them laughing. Also, if your kids haven't used the characters' apps yet, don't be surprised if this encourages them to seek them out.

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
