What's the Story?
THE BUZZ ON MAGGIE follows the fun-filled insect world of a sassy fly named Maggie and her friends. The show's plotlines are complete with jokes about flies barfing and beetles being nerdy, ladybugs being beyond reproach, and all of the puns that go with the buggy theme.
Is It Any Good?
Kids are going to love Maggie's insect world, and even parents might find this cartoon amusing. As a character, Maggie can be temperamental and moody, while her older brother can be a bully. These traits are side notes to the decent plot line put forth by the writers of the program; however, the assumption that sassy behavior is the norm for pre-teen flies may be something else to watch out for.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how Maggie's world is similar to and different from the human world.
