Wuffel, der Wunderhund

As the parent of a toddler who has wanted to watch nothing but Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol for his first three years, this is a welcome change on our TV! It's a cute show about a family who seem to live in the kids section of Ikea, with an impossible dog. It's not too hyper, although a bit repetitive. My son has been afraid of dogs, but now he 'wants a cute dog like waffle' and I love that!

The kids love it, but it doesn't have the enjoyment available to parents of some other programmes. A dog moves in with a family and they become so obsessed with the dog they can't do say or think anything with the dog.

Binge watched this with my two year old daughter on many occasions. The core of the show seems to focus on relationships and the different types of people around us. The Brooklyn-Bell's represent a modern family with each parent having a child from a previous relationship. We haven't seen or heard about Evie's dad yet. I suspect he's doing time for armed robbery. Doug's mum claims to be working away in Alaska but is most likely attending rehab. Mrs Hobbs, the constantly moaning neighbour is proof that there is no cure for being a c#@t. We saw a veiled flashback of her husband leaving her for this reason. There's a talking dog too.

It's cute, it's amusing, it's colourful and the theme is best when sung by my two little girls. Quality kids TV from the home of quality kids TV. If you expect more from it you probably shouldn't be watching.

Some of the haters on here are hilarious. Some of the negative comments are comical. This is a show aimed at an audience who do not care if it's terrible voice acting with bad jokes. The theme tune is catchy, my little girl of 18 months dances every time. She watches intently and it's puts a big smile on her face and a laugh in her belly.

Bottom line. Colourful vibrant show which fully embraces it's target audience. Well done BBC
